The beginning of the NBA season is important for fantasy basketball managers. It can be huge to add one of the big names off the waiver wire who can provide production for the long haul. Also making the right early trades can be a difference-maker. Let’s discuss some players to buy low on, sell high on or hold based on their early starts.
Players to buy low
Tyrese Haliburton, Indiana Pacers
Haliburton entered this season having averaged at least 20.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 10.4 assists and 2.8 three-pointers in both of his first two full seasons with the Pacers. He was also efficient, shooting at least 47.7% from the field in both campaigns. While his production wasn’t as elite when he returned from a hamstring injury last season, he still entered this season as a first-round target in fantasy drafts.
Through four games, Haliburton is shooting 33.9% from the field and 26.5% from 3. He shot just 1-for-16 from behind the arc in his first two games, but shot 8-for-18 over his last two games. Another concerning stat was that he had just 11 assists over his first three games. The best sign for him was coming a rebound shy of a triple-double against a difficult Magic team Monday.
If another fantasy manager is down on Haliburton after his slow start, don’t hesitate to buy low on him if possible.
Bam Adebayo, Miami Heat
Adebayo began this season with a nine-point showing in a blowout loss to the Magic. While he has been somewhat better in two games since, he only scored exactly 12 points in both of them. He did bounce back in other categories, providing 21 rebounds, seven assists, four steals and four blocks over those two games.
Adebayo has attempted just 31 shots through three games. He is also shooting only 38.7% from the field. Adebayo has never shot worse than 51.2% from the field in a season for his career. He has also averaged at least 18.7 points in each of the last four seasons. Better days are ahead, so seek out Adebayo in trade offers.
Players to sell high
Zach LaVine, Chicago Bulls
The Bulls are 2-2 with their offense leading the way. LaVine torched the Grizzlies for 30 points Monday and has scored at least 22 points…
