Fantasy Hoops: Week 1 Planner; The Adventure Begins

Filed under: ,

The NBA's regular season kicks off on Tuesday night with the Boston Celtics welcoming to town some under-the-radar team from Miami. With your multiple fantasy teams drafted and awaiting your lineup decisions, I figured I would put together a little post on what to look for in Week 1 of the NBA season.

As if we haven't heard enough about the Miami Heat already this summer, they happen to be the only team in the league who plays four times in this opening week (@BOS, @PHI, ORL, @NJN). Well played, Mr. Stern. With the Heat on the docket for four, your early-round selections on LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh are really going to pay off this week. Matchup-wise, the Heat should split the week with tough games against the Celtics and Magic, and two relatively favorable ones against the 76ers and the Nets. But aside from the 'Big 3' there are really no other must starts on the Heat, especially with Mike Miller injured. The one player I would keep an eye on in daily leagues, however, is Mario Chalmers. He and Carlos Arroyo are slated to split time at the point guard position, but I can see Chalmers winning out the job and becoming the more effective fantasy player. At the center position you are basically looking at three guys who are going to do their best fill the job of one player. Nothing more to see here.
