Week 7 Recap and Week 8 Predictions (FSFP #028) Flashy Stats Fantasy Podcast
-
- Pallacanestro
In today’s episode of the Flashy Stats Fantasy Podcast, we discuss and debate the latest news and trends in the world of fantasy basketball and the NBA.
We have created a template, splitting the episode into four unique segments, that will remain relatively similar for each week of the rest of the fantasy season – let us know if you have any ideas or criticism for how we can improve this format going forward!
Current news events:
Derrick Rose was traded to the Knicks from the Pistons for Dennis Smith Jr. and a pick – whose value will this affect? (Immanuel Quickley, Elfrid Payton)
Free KD! – Kevin Durant under COVID protocol while the rest of the Nets team continues to play + potential fantasy replacements for KD
Injuries to: Christian Wood, Larry Nance Jr., Marcus Smart, Lamarcus Aldridge, OG Anunoby, Deandre Hunter – Players whose value will be impacted by these injuries + who to keep on your team and who you can drop
Re-cap of last week’s games:
Tyrese Haliburton and LaMelo Ball (now a starter) headline the Rookie of the Year conversation with great weeks
Ridiculous performances by Steph Curry, both Nikola’s (Vucevic and Jokic), Fred Vanvleet, and… Kelly Oubre? Am I reading this thing right?
Pascal Siakam aka Spicy P becomes Jalapeño P with a great week
Stormin’ Norman Powell keeps rollin’
“PWilly” Patrick Williams is the love of Giuseppe’s life (can he get Mike on board the PWilly train? Coming after this commercial break)
Gary Trent Jr. and Thaddeus Young enter fantasy relevance due to key injuries on the Trail Blazers and Bulls
Draymond Green continues to make his last name ironic by getting every fantasy stat but points + the weirdest stat line of all time?
Predictions for next week and beyond:
That’s why they call him Chris Boucher (he’s back)
Someone’s gotta step up on the Orlando Magic – 4/5 starters injured (Free Vuc) – Chuma Okeke, Dwayne Bacon, Mo Bamba?
All those players people have been picking up in Memphis are going to lose their value as the team gets healthier
Vince triples down on his take that Michael Porter Jr. is overrated for fantasy
Buy low on Seth Curry
Joe Harris stock is going to the moon
It may be time to drop Immanuel Quickley soon
Potential pick-ups and advice to win your week:
Jakob Poeltl
Patrick Williams
Stash Caris Levert, pair with Jeremy Lamb
Ride the wave of Anthony Edwards and Eric Gordon
Pick up Kyle Anderson, drop Dillon Brooks (unless you don’t care about FG%)
Leave Justin Holiday and Cody Zeller on the waivers
T.J. McConnell is an excellent steals and assists streamer
Hamidou it – with SGA and Maledon out, it’s Diallo’s backcourt now!
