Haha you got him good. Played so well he barely played in Q2 and has built a house since!

So many swings, late in Celtics and Raptors and Q1 in Bucks feeling really good about Giannis over Barnes in team and Tatum as captain. Huge last quarters for both Tatum and Barnes into Giannis collapse and now I'm hating the moves. Such a rollercoaster!

Be nice if the Bulls could stay in it so Giannis can get some more burn.

Well that was a fizzer! 25 points at half time, then 5 points in the 2nd half - looked like being negative at one stage.. Won't do that again...

Now Mitchell is -3, hope it works in reverse!!

 

[shockmaster]

Mitchell finally made a shot and got out of negative 🥳

 

[Killerbees]

Scoot, Simmons, Simmons, Schroeder

Pg2 is cursed in my team I see

Shoutout pascal with as many today as the whole first week in my team

 

[wogitalia]

I've currently got Mays in for Thomas. Any strong arguments for/against any of the alternatives of JJJ/Robinson/Ryan/Daniels/Gilyard?

Roll a dice and say a prayer is the only advice for trying to pick the winner of that bunch

I've also gone Mays over the alternative. I just like his prospects better with the current injuries in Portland. But I think it's just a coin toss

 

[Old Big 'Ead]

113 Giannis

3/35 Tatum, Giannis, and Mitchell - pretty average day TBH.

36
2/32 SI

Tatum 36
Schroder 0

I've been interstate visiting relatives the past week with limited internet and only found an hour early this morning, before driving home, to do my team below.
Have I missed anything obvious as I haven't done much research?
I have lots of pages from this forum to read yet.

My Trades:
WEEK 4
OUT Curry ($17,060,000) - IN Gilgeous-Alexander ($19,150,000)
OUT Cunningham ($10,910,000) - IN Russell ($11,220,000)
OUT Thomas ($6,830,000) - IN Jaquez Jr. ($4,700,000)

 

[shockmaster]

Could either JJJ or Robinson potentially be startable in place of Ausar next week? Or will both their minutes likely significantly drop with Martin and Richardson likely both back

 

[Connoisseur]

Score: 968
Rd Rank: 1,304
Overall Rank: 382 (from 161)

Out: B Simmons, S Curry and C Thomas
In: S Barnes, D Mitchell and B Coulibaly

Ben a disappointing pick given the missed games as he was scoring solid otherwise and a great last match from Davis to salvage an okay score considering the circumstances. Should be able to move Luka to Nikola via dual position next round and bench Chet on 2.

For this round, it likely comes down to the duo of Mitchell and Barnes with double fours vs Giannis and DeRozan.

Prtichard helps with moving Daniels on field if the intention is to go Doncic to Jokic next round.

Will be very interesting to see which combo comes out on top. Close to level after one game each. Keeping a very close eye on Coulibaly this round as potential coverage for A Thompson.

Thing that stands out to me is you've got Doncic, SGA, Sasser, Lively, Thompson & Chet all on 2 games next week and then have Davis, James, Russell and Maxy all on 3 games.

I'd be targeting someone other than SGA and Russell if you can. Unfortunately Orlando is your only team left that's got the 4/4 schedule and the LAC/New Orleans/Denver group is pretty limited in options for guys going 3/4/4 but if there are options there that can gain you games it might be worth swinging around a little.

Maybe is the best I can do, realistically you'd expect similar from 4 games of them compared to 2 games of Ausar based on averages to date and probably more upside on the 4 given a lot of injury prone guys.

I think I prefer the NOP pair in Hawkins and Daniels if you're looking for on court the next two weeks but only available if you can get Ausar to the SG slot.

Thanks for that. I'll have a look tonight.
Looking at a couple of games ahead is something I have not been doing, I can see that it is important to do that!

I'll need to have a deeper look at Jaquez ....

 

[Connoisseur]

Surely the assist from DeMar (No 2 play at 2:05) is worth more than one point. 20 maybe for 30+.

Not fantasy relevant but like Josh Hart even more now after the top play.

Not sure how they are ranking those plays ...

- I liked the slice and dice from Tatum most ...
- closely followed by the Giannis Dunk ...
- got no third spot ...

Taking a flyer - big wraps on him from heat, 4 next week, great be

 

[The Banker]

Don't think I'm passing up Mays at this stage. The stat lines below and his ability to stuff multiple categories is the main reason, however he does cull the dead Scoot, and also provides an extra game.

Since Brogdon went down in the OT game:

37mins, 8/15FG, 18pts, 11a, 2s (OT)
33mins, 7/13FG, 15pts, 12a, 4r
