Fantasy basketball trade index - 10 players to trade for before the March 4 fantasy trade deadline

• Email

Feb 22, 2022

• print

The trade deadline for ESPN fantasy basketball standard leagues comes March 4 at 12 p. m. ET, so time is definitely running out to make deals. I never really understood why fantasy managers wait until the very last minute to upgrade their team(s).

It is late February and the regular season ends in roughly six weeks. Is that even enough time for your team(s) to move up in the standings? Depends on the league and your place, really.

In points-based formats, I have always found it tougher to trade. There it comes entirely down to one number and guessing which players will contribute the most.

Denver Nuggets C Nikola Jokic boasts a huge lead in ESPN standard points scoring, a cool 364 points better than Milwaukee Bucks PF/C Giannis Antetokounmpo, with San Antonio Spurs PG/SG Dejounte Murray in third place and injured Phoenix Suns PG Chris Paul at No. 4. Volume and efficiency are key in these leagues.

However, most of the leagues I follow are roto-category based, so I look for different things. For example, I have sung the praises of Spurs C Jakob Poeltl, as he carries one of my roto teams in field goal percentage, rebounds and blocked shots. Those categories may get lost in points-based formats.

Memphis Grizzlies PG Ja Morant is a clear top-20 points league option, but on the ESPN Player Rater, taking each individual statistical category into context, he is barely in the top 40, and behind other Grizzlies.

Thank you for reading the weekly trade index column this season, though it loses utility late next week, so here are my thoughts on players to trade for while you still can! Time is definitely running out!

Those in roto leagues may covet 3-pointers, blocked shots or better shooting numbers, or singular positional aid, while those in points-based formats may look for something else. Whatever the case, here are one analyst's thoughts, and I will wrap up my fantasy basketball offerings for the season in the coming weeks.

Devin Booker, PG/SG, Phoenix Suns: The CP3 injury makes the future Hall of Fame point guard droppable in redraft formats, for his regular season may be over. While I look forward to seeing how Cameron Payne and Aaron Holiday contribute in Paul's absence (check out colleague Eric Moody's Suns reaction), I am confident Booker will add to his already considerable usage in the offense, perhaps at some risk to efficiency. Regardless, scoring a bit less with more playmaking still makes for a potential top-10 fantasy option.

Bam Adebayo, PF/C Miami Heat: One of my favorite players, Adebayo missed six weeks after thumb surgery and is back to dominating again, averaging 21.9 PPG, 11.3 RPG and 1.8 SPG in February. Jimmy Butler gets the headlines there, but Adebayo is the fantasy star, the second-round fantasy pick and the one to trade for. Bam is not brittle like Los Angeles Lakers PF/C Anthony Davis. Players cannot aid fantasy teams unless they are playing.

Jalen Brunson, PG/SG, Dallas Mavericks: It seems pretty clear that Brunson is staying in the starting lineup, but perhaps you can persuade the Brunson investor in your league to part with him anyway. Even with PG/SG Luka Doncic playing like a top fantasy option again, Brunson is averaging 19.6 PPG this month, and here is what I really like: He has hit better than 50% of his field goals in each of the past four months. So smooth, so consistent, so valuable, and nothing is changing the next six weeks.

Josh Hart, SG/SF, Portland Trail Blazers: Hart was worth a spot on fantasy rosters before the trade from New Orleans, and now he is a potential top-50 overall option, scoring more than 20 points in each of his Portland outings. Hart rebounds, gets steals and shoots well. It is stunning how available he is in standard leagues, but even if he is on a roster, that manager may not realize how good he is.

Tyrese Haliburton, PG/SG, Indiana Pacers: Another player whose numbers look a whole lot more awesome since he moved at the real-life trade deadline, Haliburton is forcing his way into overall top 10 consideration in fantasy. He looks like a prime Chris Paul, statistically, since joining Indiana, as he averages 20.8, 11 APG, 2.3 SPG, 3.5 3PG and hits his shots. What were the Kings thinking? Beats me. Perhaps incumbent PG Malcolm Brogdon returns at some point, but Haliburton is the star here. Do not trade for Brogdon; he cannot stay healthy!

Josh Giddey, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder: There is more risk in relying on fantasy options on bad teams, because the slightest of injuries may remove them from the lineup indefinitely. Then again, in the NBA, this seems to happen on the good teams, too. My concern with Giddey a few months back was, putting it bluntly, he cannot shoot well, and he is a teenager. He remains only 19 years old, but he is shooting 46% from the field since the start of January. OK, so you do not win leagues with that, but it also does not match his 41.8% season number. Giddey is improving. Every night is a triple-double threat. This is the rare rookie building block.

Rudy Gobert, C, Utah Jazz: Gobert has not been much fun for fantasy managers over the past month, missing weeks with a calf injury and then, in his first game back, on Valentine's Day, he picked up a few technical fouls and did not finish the game. He scored five points in his next game. Gobert investors may be down on him, but I am not. He leads the league in rebounding, blocked shots and field goal percentage, arguably the best season of his career.

Jaren Jackson Jr., PF/C, Memphis Grizzlies: Everyone loves the All-Star and perhaps MVP candidate Morant, but Jackson is clearly the more valuable fantasy asset for roto, and the only one on the team among the top 20 fantasy players for the season. Should one trade Morant for Jackson? Well yeah, in a roto league, unless points and assists are the lone considerations, one should! Even in points formats, they are close. One cannot overlook Jackson's rare combination of blocked shots with steals and 3-pointers. It is so great to see him healthy and blossoming into an under-the-radar superstar.

Nikola Vucevic, C, Chicago Bulls: A pair of Nikolas reside in the top two spots on the 30-day Player Rater in Denver's Jokic and Vucevic. Yes, Vucevic struggled to start the season, as the Bulls added SG/SF DeMar DeRozan and PG Lonzo Ball to go with Vucevic and SF Zach LaVine. Even with injuries, things are working out nicely. Vucevic is averaging 24.1 PPG with 13.2 RPG and is hitting 56.5% of his field goals this month, and there is little reason to believe things will change soon. DeRozan is hardly the lone building block option in Chicago.

Any Toronto Raptors starter: OK, so perhaps this is a bit misleading, but Raptors coach Nick Nurse relies so heavily on his starters that they cannot help but amass meaningful numbers. PG/SG Fred VanVleet is a top-10 option on the season and 30-day Player Rater, while PF/C Pascal Siakam is No. 6 over the past 30 days, averaging 25 PPG, 10 RPG and 5.4 APG in February. Other Raptors in the top 50 for the past month include SF/PG OG Anunoby, SG/SF Gary Trent and sixth man PF/C Chris Boucher. It seems unlikely the trade for Thaddeus Young will reduce the starter's minutes considerably. Where is rookie SF Scottie Barnes? Struggling a bit, as rookies are wont to do, but still contributing 13.3 PPG and 6.2 RPG in February, with steals.

Fantasy Basketball is the best way to follow the NBA. The main thing is to add a commissioner, a lottery, fake news and a ring - PRO Basketball - Blogs

American fantasy basketball is a great way to follow the NBA, your favorite players and get the latest news.

I only discovered this thing last year and immediately made a league of friends. Among them are amateur basketball players, a VTB United League player, coaches and just fans. Age of participants from 20 to 36 years. Someone has been following basketball since childhood, and someone started thanks to fantasy. The main thing is that everyone is equally interested. And in this article I will tell you why.

You will be interested in the article:

• if your idea of ​​fantasy ends with a tournament on Sports.ru;
• if you don't know what fantasy is;
• if you don't play because you don't speak English;
• if you want to know more about the NBA;
• if you have been playing fantasy for a long time, but you do not have enough real NBA attributes: draft lottery, news, commissioner or ring, for example.

What is fantasy

Let's take the ESPN.com tournament as an example.

Fantasy is a virtual game for basketball fans. They recruit real basketball players from the NBA to their team and act as a general manager: they carry out the draft, form the starting lineup for the week, expell, sign and trade players.

The essence is the same - every week to score more points than a rival in the league, to win, to rise in the standings and at the end of the season to become the strongest in the playoffs.

This is the result of a match from last season and two fantasy squad

Fantasy basketball is based on the statistics of players in real basketball matches. It is important for the manager to gather the most effective players in the squad. After all, besides the fact that the effective action of a player in a real match brings points to the fantasy team. His losses and misses take away these points. Therefore, Russell Westbrook, with his triple-doubles and trash throws, is not the best option for fantasy.

The fantasy site or application calculates players' fantasy points in real time. Therefore, it is convenient and easy to follow. For example, a 3-pointer scored by Luka Doncic earns the team manager five fantasy points, and a Miles Turner block gives four points at once.

The table shows all the scoring actions of players who score in fantasy:

And this picture shows how the statistics of a player from a real match are translated into fantasy points:

As you can see in a single confrontation, the center and point guard can be equally valuable.

The most important thing about fantasy on ESPN is the interface and the possibilities. Everything resembles the official NBA website and helps to feel involved in the basketball world. And each real basketball player can only be on one team. Therefore, the number of teams in the league is limited - from 4 to 20.

Why play fantasy

Understand the NBA. Fantasy Tournament is a great introduction to the NBA. Even for those who played basketball only on the console and most of the players do not know at all. Such fans begin to deal with fantasy, select lineups and develop their own tactics. And they organically immerse themselves in the NBA: they start watching matches, find out the names of the players, understand the difference between role players and the main team, and gradually understand the rules.

At the start, managers will definitely make mistakes and learn. For example, in our league, a basketball rookie gave away Drew Holiday and got Buddy Hill. This trade jeopardized the fantasy rookie season and helped the opponent win the championship.

Keep a close eye on the regular season. Fantasy motivates you to follow all regular season matches. The manager of a virtual team must know everything about the players of his team and a little about the players of the opponent: who was injured and how much, who is on fire now, and who fell on the bench.

At the same time, the manager monitors free players, reads the news and understands who replaces whom in real matches in order to sign the most valuable free agent. Therefore, every morning the fantasy manager checks the results of the matches, sometimes watches the games, finds the best players and changes his roster.

Watch matches with excitement. The manager gathers players from different teams. Therefore, he can always choose a match with his players and worry about them. For example, the outcome of a fantasy duel is decided by the match between Indiana and Chicago. The manager in the Sabonis team, and the rival Lavigne. Whoever plays better will win. The manager turns on the match, worries about every productive action of Sabonis and gets angry from every hit of Lavin.

Learn English. The site and app offer an English interface: main tabs, news, injury reports, statistics and forecasts.

At first it is difficult to navigate, but then the manager begins to understand basic basketball terms, watch broadcasts with his players and understand American commentators.

7 Tips for Making Fantasy Interesting

To make fantasy exciting, you need to create an entourage of the real basketball world around it.

1. Come up with a legend. When I launched the PRO League, I invited members through a letter from the NBA. The letter contains the date and time of the draft, highlights of the organization, and the commissioner's name and signature. Legend has it that Adam Silver appointed Kobe Bryant our heavenly commissioner. But a legend is nothing without live reinforcements.

2. Appoint a secret commissioner. In real life, one of the league members or an outside observer is hiding behind the commissar's mask. Kobe Bryant was commissioner last year and Wilt Chamberlain this year.

The commissioner explains the rules to the participants, conducts the draft lottery, helps with the application, resolves conflicts and takes comments from the managers.

3. Create a Telegram channel and chat for discussions

The commissioner writes to the league members on Telegram and asks them about tactics, trades, player injuries, match results and draft expectations. He turns it all into stories and publishes it in the closed Telegram channel "Office PRO League". And he makes it all look like cards from the NBA on ESPN Instagram account.

Chat managers discuss each other's comments, matches, injuries and agree on exchanges. Sometimes they gather for a joint viewing. But most often they swear and tease each other in a comic manner. Therefore, the most reckless atmosphere can be created only in a chat with friends and acquaintances.

4. Hold a draft lottery. One of the most important attributes of fantasy basketball. By default, the computer distributes spades randomly. But in our league, the commissioner runs the draft lottery two weeks before the draft. Managers have time to swap picks if necessary, prepare a draft strategy, draw up a list of desirable players and complain a little about bad picks.

The commissioner runs the lottery backstage and then shoots a video of the draft order. It looks spectacular because the participants do not know the place in advance and do not know the person under the mask.

This is how the lottery went this year:

5. Call and conduct a draft. One of the most exciting parts of the fantasy tournament. The draft takes place on a certain day and a certain hour. So everyone should join. To make it more interesting, we arrange a video conference, because the participants live in different cities. This is how we show emotions when we take away other players or take away someone very desirable. At the same time, we have time to discuss our thoughts on teams and players. You can also get together live and assemble lineups face to face.

6. Make bets and forecasts. This is optional. We play fantasy for fun and have not yet connected the financial part. But they began to think about paid participation and the purchase of various valuable prizes with the money raised. You can also add weekly motivations. For example, advance bets on the outcome of fantasy fights. Or a weekly cash transfer from the manager of the worst team to the manager of the best.

7. Give the champion's ring. Fighting for such a prize is much more interesting than just playing for money. The ring is canonical and unique. After the first season, the champion received a 100 gram artifact with the inscription Fantasy Champion and a basketball hoop on the surface. He came from the USA exactly the size of the winner. Next year, the champion will receive an even more custom ring with their fantasy team logo and, ideally, the final score.

That's it. Thank you for your time.

Fantasy Basketball

Fantasy Basketball is a fantasy basketball sport that was popularized in the 1990s after the advent of the Internet. Players take on the role of general managers (GM) of fantastic teams that they create from real National Basketball Association (NBA) players in the first place basketball statistics. The statistics may be calculated by the GM or, more commonly, by the game software. The game's online format has been popularized by websites such as ESPN Fantasy Sports, NBA.com, Yahoo! Fantasy Sports and Dunkest Fantasy Basketball.

    Categories

    Typically, fantasy basketball leagues can track three to eleven categories. The leagues of the three categories usually comprise only points, rebounds, and assists. Leagues of five categories usually add blocks and steals. Leagues in the eight categories typically add field goal percentage, free throw percentage, and either three-point field goals made or three-point field goal percentage. Nine category leagues usually add momentum. Rarely other statistics such as fouls are counted. Some leagues also choose to split the rebounding category into two categories: offensive rebounding and defensive rebounding.

    Some leagues allow the league "commissioner" to determine which categories will be monitored. If these categories are chosen incorrectly, the league may be unfairly judged for or against certain positions. For example, a league that tracks points, assists, steals, free throw percentage, and three-point field goals will target defensemen, who tend to have more numbers in many of these categories, and against power forwards and centers, who tend to have more numbers. in the rebound percentage, block and field goal categories, which do not count.

    Creation of a team

    In a standard league of 12 teams, a manager usually recruits 13 players. Squad consists of:

    • Point Guard (PG) 1
    • Shooting Guard (SG) 1
    • Light Forward (SF) 1
    • Power Forward (PF) 1
    • Center (C) 1
    • 1
    • Forward (F) 1
    • Utility (UTIL) 3
    • Bench (BE) 3

    Some leagues have an IR (injury reserve) roster spot, bringing the roster to 14. IR is an additional spot on the roster that is used for players who have sustained a long-term injury or are out indefinitely.

    Some leagues also have a limit on the number of positions you can select. For example; ESPN allows no more than 4 centers per roster. This is to ensure that one manager cannot draft most of the centers without leaving the centers to other managers.

    Number of teams

    In public leagues, the typical number of teams in a league is usually ten or twelve. Although the number of teams is allowed (from 8 to 12). A public league is a league that anyone can join. The league does not require an invitation from a commissioner, it is publicly available on the ESPN Fantasy Basketball, Yahoo Fantasy Basketball, etc. websites in private leagues that are invite-only and are generally used by players who want to compete against a group of people they know , the number of teams will vary significantly (from 4 to 20). ^[9]

    Fantasy Checkers

    Two types of draft are used to select players: snake and auction. In the snake draft, the first round of the draft is drafted in order. In the second round, the draft order is reversed so that the manager with the last pick in the first round receives the first pick in the second round. The order is reversed at the end of each round, so that the manager with the first overall pick does not retain this advantage in each round. In an auction project, each manager has a set budget (usually $260, an amount borrowed from fantasy baseball) that he or she must use to complete the team's roster. Managers put players up for auction, and the manager who is willing to pay the highest amount for a player "recruits" that player. The advantage of the auction is that all managers have equal access to all players (not the case with the snake draft). The downsides are that it usually takes longer than a snake and can intimidate new or inexperienced managers who might rely on rankings.

    Draft settings

    Draft date and time, selectable seconds, draft order and allow draft trading are settings that the commissioner can edit. ^[10]

    • Draft Date: The date chosen by the league commissioner.
    • Draft Time (EST): The time that the commissioner chooses when the draft starts.
    • Seconds to Pick: The amount of time each owner is given to select a player for the draft.
    • Draft Order: The order in which each manager will draft.
    • Allow Draft Trading: Allow other owners to trade their draft positions before the draft starts.

    Guardian/Dynasty Leagues

    The Guardian/Dynasty League does not end its season at the end of the year. The coach's team is carried over to the next season and players can stay in the game between seasons. The commissioner can decide:

    • Player tenure: how long a player can stay in the game before being returned to the draftable pool.
    • Team tenure: The longer a player stays, the more they are worth to the manager's team.
    • Draft position: Draft position determines how much a player will be worth.
    • Player Wage: The value associated with each player and how much that value increases and decreases each season. ^[11]

    Guardian League/Dynasty Ratings differ from season to season and depend on the player's age, future development potential and long-term status on their team. Their original draft position or auction value is also taken into account, as players can often remain next year as a pick in the same draft position or auction price. ^[12] Inter-team exchange also differs significantly between goaltending/dynastic leagues and regular season leagues. ^[13]

    Waiver Wire

    Waiver Wire is specifically used for player transactions. The waiver message consists of a list of available players who were not drafted and/or players who were removed from the coach's roster. Managers may also drop a player(s) who inserts a downed player into the waiver wire. A waiver application is available to all league players. The denial wire may have restrictions/special rules depending on the commissioner's preferred settings.

    Communication

    Some leagues have a feature that allows players to communicate through the site. Many sites have "Smack Talk" features that allow players to chat with each other at any time. They can wag their opponents during the game or before it starts. ^{[ citation needed ]}

    Draft kit

    The draft kit on any fantasy basketball website usually contains articles with advice from their staff. The staff consists of basketball analysts, writers, and experts who provide input on players, games, and deals that take place before or after the season. Although most of the tips contain information about NBA players and their statistics. While some articles are free to read, some articles require a paid subscription to access. ^[14]

    Draft Tools

    There are advanced drafting tools that provide data-driven suggestions on which players you should pick to increase your chances of winning at any point in the draft.

    Scoring Types

    Grill (ROTO)

    In grill scoring, the actual statistics accumulated by players in a team are combined and compared with the same statistics for other teams in the league. Fantasy points are earned based on this rating. For example, in a twelve-team league, the team with the most rebounds during the season to date would be awarded twelve fantasy points. The team with the next highest number of rebounds will receive eleven fantasy points, and so on, while the team with the fewest rebounds will be awarded one fantasy point. For negative categories such as fouls or losses, the team with the fewest statistics gets the most fantasy points. This is done for all categories considered by a particular league. The team with the most fantasy points at the end of the season is the winner.

    Scoring at the grill contributes to the balance of the team composition. A win in the rebounding category with one rebound or one thousand rebounds counts equally, and a win in the steals category with one steal. and the single assist category is worth twice as many points as winning the single rebounds per thousand rebounds category. Successful teams need to perform well in multiple categories to win the grill leagues. Some teams may select one or more categories by intentionally being poor in that category in order to optimize their lineup for other categories.

    Meetings (h3H)

    In head-to-head scoring, teams compete with one other team during the week. During this week, the real statistics of the players of each team are accumulated, and at the end of the week the team with the most points for the week wins.

    There are two head-to-head scoring styles:

    • Most category win - The team with more favorable statistics in the selected categories (most points, fewest assists, highest free throw percentage, etc.) receives a point in this category. You can also weight each category, for example: a winning result is worth a player three points, a winning rebound is worth two points, a winning interception is worth one point. The team with the most points wins this game.
    • Each category is a win - the team with the more favorable statistics in the category (most points, fewest assists, highest free throw percentage, etc. ) is awarded the "win" in that category. The other team is marked as "losing". The results of these weekly matches are cumulative to provide a season's win-loss record.

    Head-to-head leagues often use a "playoff" system where seeding is based on seasonal win and loss records. Matches are determined by a bracket, with winners in each match advancing and losers being eliminated until a winner is determined.

    In tournament leagues, the schedule may be changed before the first game of that match.

    Fantasy Points

    When calculating fantasy points, the commissioner determines the number of fantasy points that a particular statistic is worth. For example, the commissioner might determine that a steal is worth two fantasy points, where a bounce is worth only one, and a turnover is worth a negative. Fantasy Points are accumulated each night based on the actual performance of each team's players, and the team with the most Fantasy Points at the end of the season wins.
