Hottest Fantasy Basketball Players

by Stephen Kersey on January 9th, 2008

1) Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas Mavericks
Nowitzki started relatively slow this season. However, as of late, he’s been on fire. As of late, Nowitzki has even added shot blocking to the areas in which he can help your fantasy team. If you want to trade for Nowitzki, do it now before others realize how on fire he really is.

2) Chris Paul, New Orleans Hornets
This should be no surprise. Paul has been playing great all season. Recently he has struggled with his shot a bit, but even that has barely lessened his fantasy value. Paul has really separated himself as the best fantasy point guard in the game. Next season, Paul is going to be a top five fantasy pick.

3) LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers
James was a bit quiet after hurting his finger and missing two weeks. He’s back to dominating the fantasy world, as he was earlier in the season. James has always been a very good fantasy player but this year he has taken the next step. He’s arguably now the best fantasy player in the business.

4) Shawn Marion, Phoenix Suns
While Marion may be the fourth or fifth option in Phoenix, he’s easily the best fantasy player of the bunch. Marion simply does everything and he’s been playing very well as of late. Recently he’s been blocking a lot of shots and his three-point shot seems to be coming around.

5) Caron Butler, Washington Wizards
Butler has continued to play great while Gilbert Arenas is out injured. In fact, Butler is making a case that the Wizards should build the team around him and not Arenas. While Butler’s numbers will likely fall if Arenas returns, he should still remain a top 15 fantasy player no matter what happens.
