Nearing the halfway point of the NBA season, Dan Palyo joins the pod to discuss a few players who are drastically outperforming their ADP's from draft season. Should you hold onto them or sell high before regression strikes? We tackle this, along with fantasy takeaways from all of the injury news over the past week.

On this one, I discuss the Detroit Pistons and peel back the curtain on this past season. We'll talk about Cade Cunningham's lost season, the James Wiseman addition, Jalen Duren's bright future, and lots more from a fantasy basketball perspective.

This is the first of 30 episodes in this series. Next up is the Oklahoma City Thunder

What a season it was for the Oklahoma City Thunder! Despite falling one win shy of the postseason, there is lots to be excited about. On this one, I recap their fun season! We'll talk about Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's First-Team All NBA season, the return of Chet Holmgren, none other than Jalen "Pig" Williams, and a whole lot more!

This is the second of 30 episodes in this series. Next up is the Toronto Raptors.

It was a disappointing season for the Toronto Raptors. Four seasons removed from winning an NBA championship, they now find themselves without a head coach and at the doorstep of a very pivotal offseason.

While lots could change in the coming months, I take a look back at the Raptors' season and discuss the fantasy production of the roster. Why did Scottie Barnes regress in fantasy? Should we be done with Chris Boucher? Does Fred VanVleet have another top 20 finish in him?

This is the third of 30 episodes in this series. Next up is the Chicago Bulls.

Another season, another missed opportunity for the Chicago Bulls. At this point, is it fair to say that this roster needs a shakeup? While that question could get answered in the coming months, I spend some time assessing their previous season and document the fantasy takeaways that came with it. DeMar DeRozan's regression, Nikola Vucevic's steady production, Zach LaVine's knee scare, and a late season push from Coby White. These are just some of the topics I cover in this episode!

This is the fourth of 30 episodes in this series. Next up is the Dallas Mavericks.

And just like that, Victor Wembanyama will be a member of the San Antonio Spurs next month. With a saavy veteran for a head coach and a young roster full of talented players, the sky is the limit for Wemby in fantasy hoops. I take a second to give my quick thoughts on why San Antonio is the ideal landing spot for Wembanyama's fantasy value. Aside from that, what will his presence mean for the other players? I tackle all of that in a few quick moments.

It was an abysmal season for the Dallas Mavericks. After falling 3 wins shy of an NBA Finals birth last year, they failed to make the playoffs and took a giant step back. What happened? I'll give my take on their lost season and break down the fantasy values of the roster. From Luka Doncic all the way down to Jaden Hardy, let's talk some Mavericks basketball.

This is the fifth of 30 episodes in this series. Next up is the Utah Jazz.

From Lauri Markkanen's All-Star season to Kris Dunn's late-season emergence, there was much to like about the Utah Jazz. Despite not making the postseason, one could argue that they overperformed their preseason projection. Let's look at last season and discuss fantasy takeaways from its roster.

Less than a week into the NBA offseason and we have our first big trade! Bradley Beal is now headed to the Phoenix Suns to form a big 3 with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. While it is early in the offseason and there are still lots of moving pieces, what does this move mean for the fantasy prospects of these elite players? On this episode, I quickly discuss the fantasy implications for key players on each of these teams.
