Post-All-Star Break: Fantasy Basketball Moves and Bold Predictions

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

1. Immanuel Quickley will finish as a top-20 fantasy option, thriving as a reliable scorer and assist provider for the Raptors.
2. Stephen Curry will lead the NBA in made 3-pointers for the ninth time, bolstered by high-volume shooting and open looks.
3. Trey Murphy III will rank in the top 10 at both shooting guard and small forward positions, excelling as the Pelicans' premier perimeter threat.
4. The Washington Wizards will emerge as a 'silly-season super team', with Bub Carrington and his teammates becoming valuable fantasy assets.
