Aaron Bruski continues our six-part, 30-team fantasy basketball breakdown with the Central Division. Jalen Duren and Ivica Zubac’s injuries create new waiver wire opportunities for Paul Reed and Jay Huff, while Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, and Kel’el Ware raise major questions about their preseason expectations. We also examine James Harden’s slow start, Donovan Mitchell’s early dominance, Tyrese Haliburton’s impressive return, and potential sell-high opportunities involving Caleb Wilson, Duncan Robinson, and Jaime Jaquez Jr.

From the cliffs of Porto Moniz to the forests of Latvia. With a degree in business and a background in finance, I traded balance sheets for projection models, following a lifelong love of the game. I’ve played it, I’ve lived it and I’ve had the privilege of working inside team front offices at both the club and national level.
For over 20 years, I’ve also been immersed in the world of Fantasy Basketball, studying trends, finding edges and living the grind season after season. That passion has brought me here, to SportsEthos, where I’m honored to be part of our management team alongside the great Aaron Bruski. My mission is simple: help SportsEthos thrive as the premier home for Fantasy Sports and sports coverage. A place where users get real value and where every member of the team can sharpen their craft, find joy in the work and build something special that feels like home.
