Three fantasy basketball lists for NBA Week 17

The extended All-Star week is over and we’re rounding the corner into the home stretch of the fantasy basketball season. For both fantasy and real life basketball teams, the playoffs are coming soon and the hierarchy of the league is becoming established in a more concrete way. The 46-10 Thunder are having an incredible season and hold a sizable 9.5 game lead over the tied 37-20 Grizzlies and Nuggets. The latter two will battle for the privilege of running into OKC into the Western Conference Finals, if all goes to plan. The bottom half of the playoff seeds in the West is a warzone, with only a 3.5 game difference between the 11th and 7th seeds.

In the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers have a similar record as OKC, sitting at a comfortable 47-10 with the Celtics trailing behind by six games. Despite the Celtics trailing in second, most would agree that Boston is still the gatekeeper of the East, as evidenced by their +215 odds to win the Finals on DraftKings Sportsbook (the Cavaliers sit at +650).

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.
