NBA in Review: Week 8

You are here: Home / Basketball / NBA in Review: Week 8

By: Michael Alby - Posted: February 17, 2021 Filed Under: Basketball

Welcome back, everybody! This week, we have some big news with Andre Drummond and Blake Griffin on their way out the door. Both serviceable veterans will definitely help out a contender. Drummond is rumored to be going to the Raptors, which is an interesting fit. Personally, I would like to see them play Chris Boucher more, but we will see what happens. The rankings in my article I have been using are my main tools to help construct my everyday lineups. These rankings show which teams are top 5 in points, and points were given up by position. If you have any questions on using it to create DFS lineups or want to chop up these slates, hit me up on Twitter @MikeAlby.

Takeaways

All of the rankings have a huge shakeup, and we see a bunch of new teams that have made the list. If this has any trend of how this season has gone, these teams will stick around the top 5 for about 2 weeks.

Ever since Jrue Holiday has been out with Covid Protocols, the Bucks have been bleeding points to opposing point guards. As long as Holiday is out, stream opposing point guards against them.

Another position to monitor is going to be centers playing the Lakers. We now have Anthony Davis out almost a month at a minimum. And the Lakers have been slipping and cracked the top 5 for points given up to centers. With AD gone, centers could absolutely blow them up.

While Karl Anthony Towns was out, Minnesota was a team you streamed centers against. Now since KAT is back, Minnesota is one of the top 5 best defenses against the centers.

Another huge spot to target has to do with Drummond leaving. The Cavs have been getting torched by both power forwards and centers. Now that Drummond is gone, all they have is Jarrett Allen. Now Allen is a great fantasy player, and he will grow into his own eventually. But last season, the Nets bled fantasy points to centers because of Allen. We are now going to see that again. So be ready to attack Cleveland with centers, especially if Kevin Love and Larry Nance continue to be out.

I could go on and break down these rankings and the correlation it has to playing season-long or daily fantasy. Please message me over on my Twitter if you have any questions. I would love some feedback on what you think or how this chart has worked for you!
