NBA Streamers of the Day for Thursday, March 29, 2007

This is going to be my first recurring feature here on the blog. I aim to update it almost every day, although you never can be too sure with work and planning for a wedding and whatnot. This will be specifically for head-to-head (H2H) fantasy NBA leagues with daily rosters. This is the kind of league with which I am the most familiar, being the default setting for Yahoo! H2H leagues as well as the format for my longest-running fantasy NBA league (6 years and counting).

The format will be as follows:

Kiddie Pool - This player will be for those of you in shallow leagues (you know who you are). Think 10 owners, 12 players per team. This player would probably not be available in most leagues.

Lake Tahoe - This player will be available in a good number of 12 owner, 12 player leagues.

Marianas Trench - This player would only be desirable in a deep league (like my 14 x 14 league).

Without further ado, the Streamers of the Day for Thursday, March 29:

Kiddie Pool - Tarence Kinsey, Memphis
I'll admit that I had no idea who this guy was before Mike Miller's injury. But since the breakthrough swingman's tendinitis flared up and forced him to the bench, the rookie for South Carolina has been starting and contributing across the board, including a stellar 24-point, 7-rebound performance in the shocking win against the Lakers.

Lake Tahoe - Tyrus Thomas, Chicago
Thomas has been up and down since his increase in minutes about a month ago. Despite his free throw line and turnover woes, he is a solid contributor in points, rebounds, and blocks.

Marianas Trench - Jason Maxiell, Detroit
In a deep league such as mine, desperate times (such as the playoffs) call for desperate measures, like hoping that Chris Webber is not sufficiently recovered from his flu bug in order to play. If he sits, Maxiell is a great source of rebounds and a high shooting percentage, and in the Pistons' last game he also contributed 2 steals and 3 blocks.
