iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Joel Embiid was faded in drafts due to health concerns. Fair enough. But for those who have him rostered—what’s the play? ➡️ Ride it out for elite production? ➡️ Trade for a top-50 player? ➡️ Settle for a top-100 return? What’s your move? #FantasyBasketball

Anthony Black would become a premier stream if Cole Anthony is ruled out. He was a decent stream anyways on today's low volume day. #FantasyBasketball

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

What I’m watching today 👀: ➡️ Clowney: I've dropped in some leagues but held in others. Can he be consistent? ➡️ Robinson: Minutes with Butler back. Blowouts skewed data; need close-game clarity. ➡️ Scoot: With Anf back, can he keep it up? Still must-roster. #FantasyBasketball

020

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

Yesterday, I added Scoot Henderson in two leagues, including the @fbibasketball.bsky.social World Cup, for his schedule. Happy with his career game! Keen to see how his role evolves—can he hit 30 mins? I believe there's a path to top-80 numbers in March. #FantasyBasketball

020

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

Lonzo Ball played well in 24 mins last night but will sit the B2B with Ayo back. With his injury, minutes risk and a crowded Bulls backcourt, if I can flip him for a top-80 player today, I’ll consider it. Unlikely someone will do it, but worth a shot. #FantasyBasketball

010

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

What I’m watching today 👀: ➡️Pritchard: Can he get back to 30 minutes and find form? Barely holding. ➡️Okongwu: Must roster, but can he push past 25 minutes? ➡️ Collier: How does he produce next to Keyonte? ➡️ Hield: Role if Green plays—can he hit 25 minutes? #FantasyBasketball

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

Just grabbed Payton Pritchard in @industrypickup.bsky.social for $49 FAAB after @joshlloyd.bsky.social dropped him. In this games-cap format, he’s an injury stash—benched for now but ready to roll if any Boston starter goes down. #FantasyBasketball

020

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

What I’m watching today 👀: 1️⃣ Nembhard/TJ with Hali out—I lean Nemb, but TJ is close. 2️⃣ Caruso’s return: Minutes + Wallace impact. 3️⃣ Ighodaro: Role/minutes watch. 4️⃣ Lonzo: Role/mins if Ayo/Coby play. 5️⃣ POR vs. BKN: The Superbowl of tanking. Who plays? #FantasyBasketball

010

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

Jalen Green could be a sell-high, but only for a top-30 player. Over 13 games, he’s top-50 with 24/4, 38% from 3, 55% from 2, 0.8 steals, 0.4 blocks. None of it feels unsustainable. Even if 2P% dips to 51-52%, he’s still top-60 ROS. #FantasyBasketball

110

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Mikal Bridges is a premier buy-low in #FantasyBasketball. Last 8 games: outside the top 200, shooting 19% from 3, just 0.5 steals. Both could easily double to 38% and 1 steal and then we're back. Toss in your worst player—it’s a gamble worth taking.

000

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Now’s a good time to toss your worst player into a buy-low for Jeremy Sochan. His minutes and usage should trend up in the coming games. I like his rebounds, FG%, and defensive stats potential. #FantasyBasketball

010

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

What I’m watching today 👀: ➡️ Hardaway Jr.: Beasley-lite potential? Stream for now. ➡️ Hield: Role with Curry/Wiggins back. Can he hit 28 mins? Monitor. ➡️ Jaquez vs. Jovic: Who’s better? Leaning starter. ➡️ Christie: Back-end guy, need more supporting stats. #FantasyBasketball

000

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

Noah Clowney, per @craftednba.bsky.social 91st percentile in rim defense 93rd in rim shots defended frequency 84th in block percentage Yet, in 27 MPG over the last month, he's averaging just 0.2 blocks. There's a real chance regression hits and the blocks start coming. #FantasyBasketball

020

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

Keon Ellis played just 22 minutes last night. I’m giving him one more game on Sunday (assuming Fox is back) to see his role. Trending toward a defensive stats streamer, not a must-roster player. #FantasyBasketball

030

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

Zach Edey is barely a hold in #FantasyBasketball. I'd be open to stream his spot and get extra games every week. Keen to see if he can change my mind and get to 25 minutes like he did in December.

000

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

What I’m watching today 👀: 1️⃣Collier: Auditioning for March if George is out then. He’s delivering assists, but can he do more? 2️⃣ Clingan: If Ayton sits and Clingan goes off, this might be your last chance to grab him. Shaky still, till Ayton is there. #FantasyBasketball

000

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

Buddy Hield is a premier stream for today with Steph, Kuminga, Podz out. They will need his offense. I've streamed him in @industrypickup.bsky.social and both my LOFB leagues. #FantasyBasketball

011

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

Max Strus is firmly on my #FantasyBasketball watchlist. That assists + threes combo with solid percentages is sneaky valuable. Streaming him now, but if his role expands to 30 minutes, he might be a must-add.

000

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

If you can trade Jaime Jaquez Jr for any top 100 player, I’d consider it. With Butler’s return looming—and possibly a trade—someone will likely take those minutes. If you can’t trade, enjoy the production but be ready for a potential drop. #FantasyBasketball

010

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

Stashing Donovan Clingan is the hype after last night, but POR’s center spot is a three-headed monster. He might dominate in March, but 14-15 mins a night until then isn’t an easy hold. If you can stash him, great—just know the risk. #FantasyBasketball

010

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

If you can, buy low on Zion. Yes, there’s injury risk and back-to-back misses, yes his stat set not for everyone, but he looked great last game and could dominate in the second half. Moves like this can win you fantasy championships. 🏆 #FantasyBasketball

010

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

What I’m watching today 👀: ➡️ Paolo’s return: No Wagner and Suggs—usage likely sky-high. ➡️ Keon Ellis: Can he get close to 30 mins with a full squad with Fox's return? Clear hold for now. ➡️ BKN: Clowney, Keon, Simmons—all packed with streaming value. #FantasyBasketball

200

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

Noah Clowney is a must roster player in #FantasyBasketball, providing back end value (top 150) at worst right now, with the potential for a top 90 stretch in Feb/March. He is a stash with benefits for me, especially if you're sitting pretty in your standings.

000

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

What I’m watching today 👀: ➡️ Ausar: Return, minutes, and usage. ➡️ Cavs w/o Donovan: Jerome, LeVert, or Struss? Leaning Struss, but it’s a coin flip. ➡️ Naji Marshall: Can he shoot better and post a solid line? ➡️ Scoot: Always keeping an eye on his minutes. #FantasyBasketball

010

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 08/01/2025

If I’m comfortably in the playoffs, I’d chuck a back end top 100 player for Butler to roll the dice. That’s the kind of move that can move fantasy championships and if it doesn’t work out you churn the 100th rated player you sent with top 120-150 waiver guys. #FantasyBasketball

131

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 08/01/2025

What I’m watching today 👀: ➡️ Cason Wallace: Looks good in 9-cat rankings..can he scale past steals? 3s/Assists? ➡️ Quickley: Assists dipped—will RJ/Barnes take on more ballhandling? ➡️ BKN: Johnson/Clowney are top streams. ➡️ Scoot: Any shot at 30 minutes? #FantasyBasketball

020

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

Naji Marshall and Jaime Jaquez Jr. are must roster players. Starting forwards with assists/steals upside, add for now, if they drop off, we drop them. #FantasyBasketball

020

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

What I’m watching today 👀: ➡️ Phoenix: Does anyone outside the big three emerge as a fantasy option? ➡️ Dallas: Naji Marshall role/assists—I believe he is must roster for now. ➡️ Minnesota: Naz Reid/Donte minutes above 30? Does Randle’s role shrink? #FantasyBasketball

000

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

Industry Pickup update: I am tied 4th, 3 games behind @adamking91.bsky.social who is top of the table and my opponent for this week. I have Ball, Zion and Cam Thomas out long term. Adam has the big man build that is near impossible to beat in 5 cats, should be a fun week #FantasyBasketball

130

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

What I’m watching today 👀: ➡️ Nembhard return: Impact on TJ? Borderline 12s, might drop. ➡️ Memphis minutes: Can anyone hit 30? Forget 32. ➡️ Jalen Wilson: Can he stand out as the top BKN stream? ➡️ Monk: Usage/minutes with DeRozan back. Yes, roster for now. #FantasyBasketball

000

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 29/11/2024

Haha if you mean for fantasy basketball content there's a lot of good people out here. Get this starter kit developed by @rikleen.bsky.social and follow the legends like @joshlloyd.bsky.social @raphiellej.bsky.social and many others. go.bsky.app/JUs8UqY

140

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 29/11/2024

What I’m watching today 👀: ➡️ Micic/Martin: Playmaking bumps with Lamelo out, solid streams. ➡️ Memphis minutes: Anyone hit 32+? ➡️ Brooklyn usage: Williams, Wilson, Martin—who steps up? ➡️ Dunc Robinson: 30 mins? Add. ➡️ Knecht: Can he hold standard-league value as starter? #FantasyBasketball

110

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

What I’m watching today 👀: ➡️ Buzelis: Can he get 25 minutes with Williams out? His blocks are intriguing. ➡️ Collier’s role: With Clarkson out, can he hit 25 minutes? Nice assists streamer. ➡️ Beal/Durant return: Impact on Royce, Ryan, Grayson? I don’t think they’re rosterable. #FantasyBasketball

000

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

Keon Ellis is worth an add. He started the last game and they need him in that lineup given the offensive focused players. If he gets to 28 minutes, that is enough for back end standard league value. #FantasyBasketball

000

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

What I’m watching today 👀: ➡️ If Suggs/Dick out: How do Black and Davion fare as replacements? ➡️ CHA frontcourt: Martin/Salaun/Diabate—who stands out? Diabate’s value is short term. ➡️ KP returns: How does he look post-injury? ➡️ Wallace/Joe/Wiggins: Who gains most with Caruso out? #FantasyBasketball

000

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

This is great news, earlier than expected return. Absolutely nukes Queta,Kornet and hurts Horford value. I'd stil hold Horford for now and take a call later on. #FantasyBasketball

010

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

Watch out for Cody Martin to take an increased role off the bench, I think he's a speculative add. Strong assists, defensive stats game, back end value. Got more long term appeal than Moussa Diabaté. #FantasyBasketball

000

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

What I’m watching today 👀: ➡️ Bub/Brogdon split: How do the minutes shake out? If Poole is out, it skews heavily. ➡️ Good Dick? Can he deliver solid value with Barnes/RJ in the lineup? ➡️ Cam Johnson hot streak: If I could sell for top 75 value, I’d do it comfortably right now. #FantasyBasketball

030

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

Sure add Moussa for now, it's short term though, I think one of Nick/Mark returns nukes his value as he will play zero minutes at the 4. If Grant is done, Tidjane and Cody would be asked to do more at the 3/4 long term. I'd be keeping an eye on both. #FantasyBasketball

010

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

What I’m watching today 👀: ➡️ Cade out: Ivey more playmaking? Tobias sneaky for assists? ➡️ LaRavia/Smart/Wells: Anyone stand out as a reliable back-end option with Vince out? ➡️ Dosunmu: If he hits 32+ minutes, must-roster for me. ➡️ Rui returns: Impact on Dalton? #FantasyBasketball

030

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

What I’m watching today 👀: ➡️ Lindy/Podz/Hield minutes: Can Podz separate, and is Lindy worth a look in 12-team leagues? ➡️ Giddey: Buy low (very low) or is he cooked with Ayo taking minutes? ➡️ Grimes/Marshall/Hardy: Who benefits most from Doncic’s absence? #FantasyBasketball

011

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

The opposite of good vibes seems to be happening in Philly at the moment.

010

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

Kyrie moves to PG and Grimes probably starts and is a back end guy. It would be interesting if they started Jaden Hardy but they won't. You can try Grimes if you want, but not exciting. #FantasyBasketball

110

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

What I’m watching today 👀: ➡️ Davion Mitchell: Can he deliver a 10-5-5 with 2 steals or stay mid? ➡️ Collier vs. Keyonte minutes: Collier took some last game. Does it happen again? Watching for March. ➡️ Knecht with Rui back: Tracking minutes and touches for long-term potential. #FantasyBasketball

001

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

Lot of streaming value appears in today's NOR-CLE matchup, JRE, Javonte, Ty Jerome. Niang, Jamal Cain, Elfrid Payton(yes) in deeper formats. #FantasyBasketball

120

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

Just watching the Lakers game now, (London timezone am I right?). Seems like Dalton Knecht only operates in dunks and threes, which are the most efficient shots. The 67% 3p% will not continue but that is a good sign. Add and figure it out later. #FantasyBasketball

Another day in the NBA with fantastic regular season games. All the doom and gloom is complete garbage and there are great games every day, they just don't get promoted or talked about because of dreadful and high profile media coverage. So, give this a repost so we can try to reverse the narrative

Mark Williams is rostered by me in 6 of my 8 redraft leagues. Suffice to say, that's been the biggest L so far. What has been your biggest L this year? #FantasyBasketball

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

What I’m watching today 👀: ➡️ Huff/Clarke split with Edey out. If Clarke starts, I’d lean streaming him. ➡️ Zach Collins as today’s top stream. ➡️ Knecht/Reddish/Hachimura/Christie minutes: Can Knecht hit 30 if all 4 play? ➡️ Missi’s impact: Can he do more with his minutes? #FantasyBasketball

Karan Talwar @karantalwar.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

What's a realistic sell high for Josh Hart?
