Welcome to 2018, a year where NBA players finally start staying healthy consistently ... I couldn't even type that with a straight face. We begin the new year with James Harden going down for several weeks. With his injury, now eight of the pre-season top-20 players have missed significant time so far this season. Significant time, meaning more than just a couple of games. When will it stop? Hopefully soon. I'm tired of my phone getting blown up with injury notifications. I get it, half my team is a game-time decision every…

It looks like we’re going to end 2017 on a positive note. Fantasy owners just got back Blake Griffin, Devin Booker, and Steph Curry, while the season debut of Isaiah Thomas is right around the corner. Thomas is the one I want to chat about here for a second. His return is both exciting and intriguing. There's plenty of excitement from his fantasy owners that drafted him back in the fall and have held onto him all this time. I'm not included in that, but I'm sure I'd be pretty darn excited to get a player of his magnitude…

Happy holidays, everyone. It’s been an interesting start to the season, but there’s still plenty of work to be done in the fantasy world.

So grab a glass of eggnog, sit by the fire, and let's get started.Games Played by Team This Week4…

Fantasy owners rejoice! Kawhi Leonard is back to save our fantasy teams. But wait, what’s that I hear? Minutes restriction for a while? Oh phooey. Well, did we really think Coach Popovich was going to throw Leonard back into his usual 30+ minutes? Of course not. Leonard sat last night on the second night of a back to back, and that will likely be the status quo moving forward. With the Spurs having another back to back on Wednesday and Thursday, expect Leonard to miss one of those games as well.There are 17 teams with…

Believe it or not, I don’t have to start this off by telling you that 23 more players got injured this past week. What a refreshing change of pace. And actually, the injury arrow is beginning to turn around as several key fantasy assets are on the mend and nearing returns to the court as you’ll read a little further down. We did have a few new injuries, but none seem overly serious.In other news, the 76ers finally got rid of Jhalil Okafor. After trying to trade him since 1956, the Brooklyn Nets (of course it was…
