We suggested that you snatch up Khris Middleton a few weeks ago before he returned from his injury. If you did, congrats. Middleton returned a lot quicker than we initially thought. Well, now that he’s back, what now. The simple answer is you move him … if you get perceived value. Look, Middleton is a great Fantasy player. He was last year, and if he can stay healthy, he should provide nice numbers for your Fantasy team this year, too. But no injury lingers more in sports than a bum hamstring. Middleton didn’t just pull his ...

Scouting Report On Jamal Murray

... guard our veteran, George Hill. Take note as to how the Jazz clear out the side for Hill to operate for an easy low post bucket. As mentioned above, Murray will have to employ a more ferocious mentality in order to improve his defense. This also holds true with his coverage in the post.

There is no telling if this is the case with Murray, without working with him.

Buy-low Fantasy Targets Before The Nba Trade Deadline

... Sacramento Kings. Going out: De Marcus Cousins. The Kings have been adamant that Cousins won't be traded, though he's been a fixture in the rumor mill for a few years now. Cousins was just hit with the 10 th suspension of his career this week and while he's clearly one of the best players in the league, the Kings sit 11 games out of.500. They are part of the Little Eight pack, chasing the Nuggets, but if Sacramento misses the playoffs again, it will be the 11 th straight season without a postseason appearance. That stretch would encompass the entirety of Cousins' seven-year career. He may not be headed to New York, but maybe he'll be headed somewhere. Stepping in: Willie Cauley-Stein. If the Kings were able to land a primary scorer, or two, in a Cousins trade, the center position would be wide open for second-year pivot Cauley-Stein. That assumes that Kings coach Dave Joerger would opt for the upside of Cauley-Stein over the more steady play of ...

... Murray's performance drew the attention of his college team at Kentucky, per KY Wildcats TV. KYwildcats TV @KYwildcats TV. 2/18/2017, 4:01:58 AM.

There's a level of efficiency he played with that helped carry the World team, even as Buddy Hield and Kristaps Porzingis each scored over 20 points. This is a showcase game in which very little, if any, defense gets played. Murray isn't suddenly going to be a double-double machine for the Nuggets when the NBA season resumes. But Murray's performance Friday, combined with what he was doing before the All-Star break, is an indication the Nuggets are finally starting to see the player they thought they were getting when he was drafted seventh overall.

They still have a lot of work to do to make any noise in the conference, yet they do have interesting pieces like Murray and Nikola Jokic to build around. Murray was the standout among a large ...

All-star Midseason Report

... Getty Images. All-Star Midseason Report: Jamal Murray. by Jonathan Huang. An NBA player’s rookie season is never easy. Some of the adjustments from the college game are relatively small, like a farther three-point line and a larger court. But some are much tougher to cope with – the increased pace of the game, the back-to-backs slogs, and a league where every player was once the best player on his team. Jamal Murray’s tasted both. He struggled early on and wouldn’t score his first field goal until Nov. 5 when he broke the drought, picking up 9 points against the Detroit Pistons. For a player who was well-known for his scoring ability at Kentucky, this was an inauspicious start. Fast-forward to today and the Nuggets enter the All-Star break in possession of the Western Conference’s final playoff spot with the Sacramento Kings, Portland Trail Blazers, and New Orleans Pelicans nipping at their heels. It hasn’t all been smooth sailing for Murray, but he’s shown ...
