If someone was totally new to fantasy basketball and needed some people to follow to be successful, these are the people I would tell him or her to follow!

In no particular order:

@ballboysfantasy
@DanBesbris
@redrock_bball
@ZaktheMonster
@aburnshoops
@docktora
@Adamking91
@ThunderDanDFS

Good luck this season y’all! Whether if you all are a rookie playing fantasy NBA for the first time or a 17-year veteran like me! 💪

@DanBesbris I don’t even like Trae Young but this is the lowest I’ve seen him. Maybe I’m tripping but no way I’m taking mikal ahead of him 🤷‍♂️

[Highstake Hoops @HighstakeHoops]

@Tony_Pesta Pretty good fit shooting wise, would be curious to see what that lineup would be like assuming they hang onto their current core

[Highstake Hoops @HighstakeHoops]

@DanBesbris Don’t think it shifts too much, if anything this could be his best playmaking season yet. They’re quite thin at guard currently, so other than Giannis and Khris, idk who would cut into his usage. Would love to see MIL pick up a 3 and D guy to help with shooting and spacing

“Somebody I know who’s dealt with Toronto’s front office that I talk to this week called Masai ‘the guy in your fantasy league who offers five trades a week and cancels at the last minute before you can decide whether to accept them or not.’”

- @highkin on Masai Ujiri

Draft lottery just wrapped up…

I’ll be picking 12th overall in my #fantasybasketball dynasty league (points league)

Who should I be looking to target??

Initial thoughts are maybe Trae Young? Darius Garland? Ja Morant?

What are your thoughts??

[Highstake Hoops @HighstakeHoops]

@rhett_bauer and with LaMelo, it mostly comes down to the fact I'm higher on players like Ant, SGA, and Haliburton. I see the appeal of the upside as the hornets system seems to really work for his game. Just not my kinda player 🤷‍♂️

[Highstake Hoops @HighstakeHoops]

First draft of my dynasty player rankings, here are the top 10...
1. Nikola Jokic
2. Luka Doncic
3. Giannis Antetokounmpo
4. Jayson Tatum
5. Victor Wembanyama
6. Tyrese Haliburton
7. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
8. Joel Embiid
9. Ant Edwards
10.Melo Ball
Thoughts?

@rhett_bauer I think if Giannis can manage to stay healthy, were in for about 4-5 more seasons of him being a top 5-10 fantasy player. My personal strategy also tailors more toward winning in the next 3 seasons or so. Should also mention I play a points league which is definitely a factor

[Highstake Hoops @HighstakeHoops]

@ballboysfantasy absolutely a guy I'm trying to grab in my dynasty draft

[Highstake Hoops @HighstakeHoops]

@KevinF3394 Anunoby is the most versatile player on this list imo, I think a potentially larger role in Portland could really open up his offensive game nicely

[Highstake Hoops @HighstakeHoops]

@Jokeeee_ @Platinum_Locks_

[Highstake Hoops @HighstakeHoops]

@NBAFantasyBible Going Bane here cause the possibility of Rozier moving makes me nervous ngl. Hell still be solid but leaving Charlotte is likely leaving his best case fantasy scenario imo

[Highstake Hoops @HighstakeHoops]

@NBAFantasyBible Martin was so promising after he was named a starter 😪😪 happy I was able to cut him for Duren, so much more upside

[Highstake Hoops @HighstakeHoops]

@NBAFantasyBible Lauri has started so great, just almost wonder if it’s too great for the Jazz front office…think Jabari has the higher upside especially later in the season

[Highstake Hoops @HighstakeHoops]

Who’s your biggest steal of #fantasybasketball season so far?? Mine has to be either Jalen Smith or Kyle Lowry, who both currently hood top 50 value (points league) after drafting them at 91 and 106 respectively. Praying they can keep this production up 📈🤞🏼 #NBA

[Highstake Hoops @HighstakeHoops]

@casualtakeking Easiest $10 I’ve ever lost, I challenge someone to show me a worse bet 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[Highstake Hoops @HighstakeHoops]

@NBA_University Is it crazy I like green the least?? I’m going Wagner, Maxey, Murray, Green

[Highstake Hoops @HighstakeHoops]

@kodak_vision @Jae_Tha_Truth Fam I have both of them stashed 🥹🥹

[Highstake Hoops @HighstakeHoops]

After week 1, who are you adding to your squad?? Who are you willing to give up on this early in the season in order to grab a week 1 stud. Personally I’ve already dropped Achiuwa for Richards and really happy with how much potential Richards has shown
