Post-All-Star Break: Fantasy Basketball Moves and Bold Predictions
Explore expert insights on key players to add, drop, and bold predictions for the fantasy basketball playoffs post All-Star break.
As the NBA season heats up post All-Star break, fantasy basketball managers need to stay ahead of the curve. Here's a detailed look at which players to consider adding or dropping, along with some bold predictions for the remainder of the season.
Players to Drop
- Jrue Holiday, PG/SG, Boston Celtics: Despite his reputation, Holiday has underperformed with fewer than 9.0 PPG and 3.7 APG since January. Consider switching to more productive options.
- Walker Kessler, C, Utah Jazz: Kessler might see limited playtime as the Jazz focus on their youth movement and injury management.
- Jonas Valanciunas, C, Sacramento Kings: With Sabonis dominating the center spot, Valanciunas has limited fantasy value in the Kings' rotation.
- Khris Middleton, SF, Washington Wizards: Struggling with injuries and reduced role, Middleton is now a waiver wire candidate.
Players to Add
- Isaiah Collier, PG, Utah Jazz: As a starter, Collier has been impressive with 8.5 APG and improved shooting, making him a valuable addition in roto/categories formats.
- Matas Buzelis, SF/PF, Chicago Bulls: Taking on a significant offensive role, Buzelis is contributing across the board and is a must-add before he becomes a hot pickup.
Bold Predictions
- Immanuel Quickley will finish as a top-20 fantasy option, thriving as a reliable scorer and assist provider for the Raptors.
- Stephen Curry will lead the NBA in made 3-pointers for the ninth time, bolstered by high-volume shooting and open looks.
- Trey Murphy III will rank in the top 10 at both shooting guard and small forward positions, excelling as the Pelicans' premier perimeter threat.
- The Washington Wizards will emerge as a 'silly-season super team', with Bub Carrington and his teammates becoming valuable fantasy assets.
