In this space Thursday, I wrote about how poor teams can pack strong fantasy value, especially when they're playing each other. I then went on to highlight Thursday night's game between the 20-42 Brooklyn Nets and the 18-43 Sacramento Kings as one to watch. As anticipated, that turned out to be a high-scoring game. The Kings won 116-111 in overtime, and there were at least 10 strong box-score lines between the two teams, so I planned to lead off by going into more detail on the game.
But a funny thing happened before I committed to that plan: another "bad" team dropped 131 points on a good defense, with excellent fantasy lines all over the place.
