You love the NBA. You love the Utah Jazz, and our players. But you may also be interested in knowing which of our players has blown up the most, on an individual game basis. This is important for fantasy basketball, but also cool if you just like to know which Jazzmen have had some massive nights over the first 15 games of the season.

Not every game results in a win, and not every game is a big game for one of our guys -- but you see the potential is there, as each of the F5 have had a big game in the first month of the season. Gordon Hayward is straight up killing it, and Derrick Favors is showing more and more of his all-around ability to be a force on offense and defense.

As a fantasy basketball bro, though, there's too much volatility in the games of Trey Burke and Alec Burks; while Enes Kanter isn't getting the big minutes, so he's the least likely to equal these results. His per minute numbers are amazing though.

Moving from fantasy into reality you see that these are legit pieces that you can build a winning franchise around, and start a positive culture. I'm happy with this Jazz team and know that Dante Exum, Trevor Booker, Rudy Gobert, and Rodney Hood will form a very complimentary bench when healthy. Joe Ingles needs to grow a mullet though, if you ask me. Wait, that's a different type of fantasy . . .

Anyway, you need to play FanDuel. We have a big thing coming up soon for it. We aware!

The cool thing about FanDuel is that you can start over fresh each day, not having to worry about choosing a team once and riding them for the entire year. That also means you can play when you want, and not worry about tweaking your rotations every day to adjust for each game, injury, etc.

Sign up for FanDuel by going here. Here are the rules, and remember that you must be 18 years or older and live in the US or Canada to play. Please note that residents of AZ, IA, LA, MT and WA cannot play for money.
