What’s up y’all?

Welcome back to the playlist.

It’s week 19 in fantasy basketball.

Week 18 was crazy between the injuries and all the milestones in history that was made.

A lot of things to unpack, so I’m gonna go through a couple of highlights from week 18 as well as give you some pickups and schedule things you need to know for week 19.

So gotta talk about LeBron James.

He’s the first player in NBA history to amass 50,000 career points across the regular season and postseason.

But while he’s battling on the court against Stephen A, he’s also gonna be battling a groin injury that’s gonna cost him 1 to 2 weeks for fantasy basketball.

Dalton Kick is the player that I would add as a result of LeBron’s injury.

Also, the New York Knicks.

Maybe Tom Thibodeaux’s strategy of wearing down Jalen Brunson is starting to take a toll.

He wound up sprained his ankle late last week, so he’s going to be missing two weeks.

Add Deuce McBride if you’re looking for someone to start in the playoffs if they start in week 20 like Yahoo Public default leagues do.

And then lastly, Houston Rockets star guard Ian Thompson is gonna be missing two weeks with a sprained ank.

As well that elevates Jabari Smith Junior and Dylan Brooks.

So let’s get to the pickups that I’m gonna make specifically for week 19.

Add Andrew Nemhard.

He’s still under 30% roster, and he was a top 50 player in week 18 with Tyrese Halliburton missing two games.

Looking at the Indiana Pacers’ schedule, they played two sets of back to back, so there’s a good chance that Halliburton or TJ McConnell, who’s coming off of an injury, could sit, which elevates Nemhard, who’s had.

The double-double in his last two outings at him in all leagues.

Also, I would pick up Daron Sharp.

The Brooklyn Nets play 5 games, which is a huge scheduling advantage.

And even if he still comes off the bench as a reserve, he’s gonna get more…
