FANTASY

It's been three seasons since Carmelo Anthony has been a particularly relevant fantasy force but don't let that stop you from sipping the Kool-Aid ahead of the 35-year-old's debut with the Portland Trail Blazers. The future Hall of Famer deserves to go out on his own terms and the fit seems as if it just might work. The Blazers need healthy bodies in their frontcourt and Melo can still get buckets with the best of them. If he transitions into Portland's system smoothly, Anthony could be a deep league gem.Carmelo Anthony Profile Page

Kemba Walkers has been a star for half a decade now but equally impressive are the subtle gains that he's made season after season. Walker enjoyed a career year with the Hornets in 2018-19 and earned a max contract with the Boston Celtics over the summer. The C's won't need to lean on Walker quite as heavily as Charlotte did last season but don't expect a drop in per-minute production.Kemba Walker Profile Page

Although a thumb injury will sideline Kyle Lowry for the foreseeable future, there's no denying that the 33-year-old is capable of shouldering more of an offensive load with Kawhi Leonard now out of the picture. It's not unreasonable to expect Lowry to finish the campaign above 20 points per game, something he's only done twice before.Kyle Lowry Profile Page

If you were one of the fantasy GMs that made a point of investing in Andrew Wiggins following Jimmy Butler's exodus to Philadelphia, the early returns have been great. Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns entered training camp this year knowing full well that they'd be the ones responsible for leading the offense. Wiggins' 2019-20 numbers are in line with his third-year numbers and he's producing them in less minutes.Andrew Wiggins Profile Page

Danilo Gallinari has been a solid if unspectacular fantasy asset for the past decade and that hasn't changed now that he's on a rebuilding Oklahoma City Thunder squad in need of support across the board. Gallinari's 19.8 points per game last season were a career high and he'll flirt with those numbers again in OKC.Danilo Gallinari Profile Page
