New to Fantasy Basketball, Who should I start?
I am new to fantasy basketball so I am not exactly sure on a lot of strategies. I am in a weekly league so I set up my lineup today. I have Ray Allen and Ben Gordon and Richard Hamilton. I figure I should obviosly start Allen, but he only plays twice this week while the others play 3 times, Who should I start for the week? I also have Josh Smith starting at SG, but he only plays twice this week as well. We have to lock in our players for the week.

- im pretty sure you can change who plays as each day passes so no matter who plays more this week they could all potentially be starting when they are playing
- Go with the guys playing in 3 games each as you'll get more stats from them.
- You're going to get more stats starting Gordon for three games vs. Allen for two, obviously, but what stats you get are what matters. Gordon's TO are higher, but I don't know your league's settings. In terms of points they'll all three score 20+ so it just depends on if you need threes or more percentages or what. RIP is one of my favorite players and vastly under-rated IMO. He'll give you 20/3/3 with great percentages, though he won't hit the three often. Given all that, if you need threes, I'd go with Allen or Gordon, probably Gordon over Allen. If you need percentages but lower threes, go with Hamilton.
