It's been a long fantasy basketball season, but we're almost to the finish line. This season has been littered with countless injuries to star players and it's certainly taken its toll on fantasy squads. While the waiver wire is always important, it's been of even more importance this season. This week is no different either with several big names nursing nagging injuries.Games Played by Team This Week4 Games: HOU, LAC, NOR, OKC, POR, SAC, SAS, TOR.3 Games: ATL, BKN, BOS, CHA, CHI, CLE, DAL, DEN, DET, GSW, IND,…

Blake Griffin Now a Piston That doesn’t sound right, does it? After seven and a half seasons with the Clippers, Blake Griffin will now be playing some DEEEETROIT BASKETBALL. Sorry, I've always loved that chant they do. Early last week, the Clippers sent Griffin to the Pistons for Avery Bradley, Tobias Harris, Boban Marjanovic, and a first-round pick.

Through six games, the Greek Freak has averaged 35.0 points, 10.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 2.4 steals, and 1.0 blocks on a ridiculous 62.4% from the field. Imagine if he ever decided to start shooting from the outside more. It might just be six games, but Antetokounmpo is fully capable of putting up these numbers over a full season.Well, we didn't have a big name star get injured last week, so that's something. However, all the big stars that got injured last…

We opened the NBA and fantasy basketball season on Tuesday with two potential conference finals matchups. Sounds great, right? Well, just a little over five minutes into the first quarter of the Boston/Cleveland showdown, Gordon Hayward came down hard. It looked like he just hurt his back at first, but then you heard Marv Albert break the news, “Heyward broke his leg! Hayward has broken his leg.” No matter what team you root for, you never want to see something like this happen.Unfortunately, Hayward wasn’t the only…
