The Best Fantasy Basketball Players
At the moment, here are the top five best fantasy players in the NBA:
5) Lamar Odom, Los Angeles Lakers
With Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol injured, Lamar Odom has stepped into a bigger role for the Lakers and is playing great basketball. While he can at times be a passive player, Odom is very good when he’s involved early and often. The bad news is that once Gasol returns (which should be at some point this week), Odom’s play should return to earth.
4) LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers
Seeing LeBron James in any top five list isn’t too surprising. He’s dominating like usual and shows no signs of slowing down. While he hasn’t been on fire over the last week or two, expect him to take it to another level as the Cavs fight for playoff positioning. He’s definitely a player you want on your fantasy team, though.
3) Joe Johnson, Atlanta Hawks
Although he doesn’t get much publicity, Joe Johnson is quietly one of the best players in the NBA. He’s a perimeter player who can handle the ball, pass the ball, shoot the ball and do basically whatever the team needs. The Hawks have a young team that is fighting for the NBA playoffs and Johnson is the biggest reason why.
2) Amare Stoudemire, Phoenix Suns
Amare Stoudamire went from a superstar to a superduperstar once the Suns traded for Shaquille O’Neal. Free to play power forward, Stoudemire has blossomed and is playing MVP caliber basketball right now. In the fantasy world, he’s easily the best bigman in all of the league.
1) Chris Paul, New Orleans Hornets
This is absolutely no surprise. Chris Paul remains the best fantasy player on the planet – by far. If you have Paul on your fantasy team, you are worshiping the ground he walks on.
