Three fantasy basketball lists for NBA Week 13

Week 13 of the NBA season will kick off a bit earlier due to MLK day. Things are quickly ramping up in the East, with the once top-seeded Magic careening downward in the wake of their injuries down to the 7th seed with a 23-21 record and having lost seven out of their last 10 games. They’re now firmly entrenched in the play-in area alongside the Heat, Pistons, Hawks, and Pistons. There’s a sizable 4.5 game gap between these teams and the 10th seeded Bulls. We’re still curious whether the 15-26 76ers will be able to summon up the mid-season rally to leap back into a Play-In spot, but it seems unlikely with Joel Embiid’s continued struggles with his health.

In the West, the Nuggets have crept into the top four, having won seven out of their last 10 games. The jockeying for a Play-In spot in this conference remains as competitive as ever. I would only discount the bottom feeder teams such as the Jazz, Pelicans, and Trail Blazers. Every other team in the West has a shot to make the Playoffs.

And yes, we’re all eagerly waiting to see what develops with Jimmy Butler, who’s interestingly rejoined the Heat after suspension and is playing despite all the drama.

Not everybody is going to be as locked-in as you are when it comes to winning your fantasy leagues. That’s where we come in; We’re shooting the Three Lists of Threes today for your weekly dose of fantasy tips: Buy-lows, sell-highs, and streams.
