Now that the stars break is in the rear view mirror, the commercial deadline is the next important date for most fantastic leagues. In Yahoo! Public leagues, Thursday, March 6, are the default deadline for trade, which means that week 17 will be the last full week of matches before this date. And some significant availability problems will have an impact on how managers perform their lists in preparation for fantastic qualifying series. San Antonio lost Victor Wembanyama for the rest of the season, and Joel Embiid from Philadelphia looked like a shell of himself leaving the stars break. Let us examine the ventilation of the calendar of the week 17.
Games of the week 17 played
4 games: BKN, BOS, CHA, CHI, DEN, DET, IN, LAC, LAL, MIA, MIN
3 games: ATL, key, dal, gsw, hou, mem, mil, nyk, orl, phi, bag,
Week 17 scenarios
– Spurs continue to walk without Victor Wembanyama.
San Antonio has played two games since it was announced that Wembanyama Miss the rest of the season With deep venous thrombosis in his right shoulder. Bismack Biyombo, who recently accepted a second 10 -day contract, was replacing the starting range, but production (not surprisingly) was not something to which it was written. Jeremy Sochan, who is registered in 44% of Yahoo! The leagues seem to be the most precious option to target managers, while Charles Bassey (12% warmed) and Sandro Mamukelashvili (three percent) were also picked up in certain places.
Spurs will play four games during week 17, with two consecutive consequences. And the competition will not be easy either. After Tuesday’s match at New Orleans, Spurs play against Houston (Wednesday), Memphis (Saturday) and Oklahoma City (Sunday). This consecutive Saturday / Sunday made of San Antonio a team that deserves to be monitored for managers who need production to win their weekly matches.
– The Hawks are the only team whose calendar for week 17 ends on Friday.
Twenty-nine of the 30 League teams, except Atlanta, will play on Saturday or Sunday during the week 17. Not only the Hawks end their week with a home match against the Thunder on Friday, but they do not play that three games during the week 17. The calendar begins with a Monday / Wednesday at home against heat. Although this does not hurt Trae Young or Dyson Daniels, Caris Lever (27%) and Georges Niang (8%) can offer limited streaming value due to the schedule. In addition, the three Hawks games are three of the busiest days of the week 17.
– Thursday is closest to a “streaming day” that fancy managers will have.
Thursday is the only day that will have less than six games on the slate for the week 17. Five competitions are on the file, including Charlotte in Dallas and the Timberwolves visiting the Lakers. This last game is interesting because it is the first of a consecutive back for the two teams; Will Luka Doncic play against Timberwolves and Clippers? Another team with consecutive concerns that will be active Thursday is New Orleans, which will play two games in as many nights against the Suns in Phoenix. Zion Williamson is a safe bet to sit on one of these competitions; The fantasy managers who failed him hope that he will play Thursday before sitting on Friday’s revenge match.
– What will the Rockets start programming look like during week 17?
Jabari Smith Jr. returned from a fractured hand on February 22 and returned to the starting program the following night against jazz, replacing Tari Eason (which was inactive). However, Fred Vanvleet remains due to a sprained ankle he suffered during a defeat of February 1 against the nets. Amen Thompson prospered as a starter, first filling Smith, then taking charge of the main play responsibilities after Vanvleet fell. The FVV partially participated in the first rocket training after the stars break, but reported a certain ankle pain, so it was excluded for matches against Timberwolves and jazz.
Udoka said on Friday that they could be able to place Vanvleet thanks to another home training manager on Tuesday / Wednesday against Bucks and Spurs. If this is the case, they will see what he feels before deciding on his availability for these games. Houston’s offensive efficiency has decreased since Vanvleet’s injury, but Thompson’s fantastic value has increased. Is there in the starting program once the rockets are whole? Or will Smith or Dillon Brooks be invited to get out of the bench? We can get an answer during the week 17.
– Are we near “decision-making” in Philadelphia?
The defeat of the 76ers on February 22 against the Nets was their consecutive seventh, dropping them at 16 games of the season below 0.500. If the result was not worrying enough, Joel Embiid did not play at all in the fourth quarter. He seemed to work throughout his 31 minutes on the ground, and Guerschon Yabusele (who played the whole fourth quarter) offered the mobility that the old MVP of the League was missing. The 76ers tend in the wrong direction, and there is the report of the Super Bowl Sunday that Embiid may need another surgical intervention and a prolonged rehabilitation period to bring back its left knee to full power. The 76ers play three rear games during the week 17, starting with the Bulls on Monday evening. Fantasy managers may not immediately answer the Embiid question, but this is one of the important secondary intrigue of the deadline and the business elimination series in most leagues.
