All Star Weekend Fantasy Guide

This weekend the NBA will celebrate its All Star festivities in New Orleans that will feature different yearly activities such as the skills challenge, slam dunk competition and the all star game. Well for my fantasy team, that has slowly been slipping in our standings (head to head), this is the time to score wins just because I see it as an opportunity to take an early advantage in the scoreboard. Almost every team will just have two games this week so might as well take the advantage of getting more players to play for you in these early days of the week. And here's my key to just doing that:

1. Evaluate your roster

You will obviously see players that can be replaced because they are injured/just having a rest/not performing well this past few games. The evaluation part is whether you can afford to drop some of them even only this week so you can add other players.

2. Add players on a daily basis

Working on a shorter amount of days will obviously result in a shorter amount of games so squeezing in a few games more that your opponent will boost your chance in winning this week.

In my case I dropped KG this week even though he has two games to play this week. One of those games will be a back to back set wherein KG will almost automatically will rest because the Nets coaching staff always rest him. I added Pachulia and it worked in my favor since the Bucks front court has been hampered by injuries making him a starter thus giving me a few rebound and points because of an uptick in playing time.

3. I'd say you better get lucky that the players you add plays well

I can say that you need not just luck to expect big games from the players you add because you can always check how well have they been performing in their past few games. So in that you also need common sense. But it doesn't always happen so you can be lucky sometimes.

Getting a few more wins this week is important in my opinion since same as the players of the NBA, fantasy players also need to get some rest on this fantasy basketball and just enjoy the all star festivities and not just worry about STATS. Enjoy!
