Fantasy Basketball: Daily Dandies Mar. 15thby Michael Pichan (@FantasyNomad)photo credit to Under ArmourFor those of you checking out my recommendations for the first time, I group the players in A,B,C,D Tiers. And, because many of us play at different sites I have generalized the cut-off price tag for each tier. If you have any specific questions post them in the comments section and I will answer them asap.

  • PG Mike Conley Grizzles- Conley has been a 30 FP machine of late having 30 plus FP in each of his last five games and gets a Nuggets team that is one of the top three worst teams in defending the point guard position, just don’t expect many threes from Conley.
  • G Steph Curry Warriors- Curry should have a field day versus the depleted back court of the Chicago Bulls.
  • SF Kevin Durant Thunder- OKC at home vs an Orlando team that has really struggled against SF of late.
B-rated Ballers: Big name players with big games, but not as high of a price tag as the top five or so priced players at each position (around 30 FP).
  • PG Goran Dragic Suns- Hawks PG Jeff Teague is hampered by an ankle sprain, which gives Dragic a better chance of getting back on track. Dragic should be well rested as he only played 20 minutes in the blowout loss to the Rockets two days ago.
  • SG Dion Waiters Cavs- Waiters has stepped up in Irvings abscence and he and the Cavs will be playing an old Dallas team that is playing their second game in as many nights.
  • PF Amir Johnson Raptors- Only the Lakers are allowing more FP to PF in the last 10 games
C-as in players that COULD be in line to provide you with good to great value (target 25+ FP).
  • PG Mario Chalmers Heat- Chalmers’ shot had been falling in his last two games before the second game in as many nights Wednesday. He has played 26 plus minutes in each of his last three games, so chalk up his somewhat quit Fantasy night Wednesday to being tired and look for him to bounce back somewhat tonight if you are looking for a discounted option at PG.
  • G Jarrett Jack Warriors- The Bulls have been susceptible to teams that fast-break lately, and with all the injuries the Bulls are experiencing depth is an issue for them giving Jack and the second unit an advantage tongiht.
  • SF Tayshaun Prince Grizzles- The Nuggets are allowing the third most FP to SF in the last 10 games and Prince has played around or above 30 minutes his last seven games while usually providing 20 plus FP
D-Discounted Dandies: Players on the cheap, but due to some recent factors suggest they may exceed their discounted price tag (Double Digit Fantasy Production).
  • G Shaun Livingston Cavs- Livingston played 31 minutes in his last game finishing with 22 points and has a nice matchup as I laid out above in talking about Dion Waiters. Livingston is averaging more than 12 pts, 3 ast, and 3 reb when he plays 30 plus minutes this season.
  • PG Mike James Mavs- James has started the last five games and he has scored in double digits in three of his last four games. James isn’t just starting but he is playing starter minutes as his playing time has continusloy increased with each game he has started, topping out at 35 plus minutes in Thursday’s game.
  • PF Brandon Wright Mavs- Wright has seen 24 plus minutes in each of his last three games and has produced 20 plus FP in each of his last four games.
  • C Jonas Valanciunas Raptors- back-to-back 30 plus minute games
