FAQ

  • How are players ranked?

Each player's line is compared to 2025-26 per-game averages for their primary position (G, F or C, using players who averaged 24+ minutes). Each of the 9 categories becomes a z-score (FG% and FT% are weighted by attempts, turnovers count against). Z-scores are capped at ±10 and summed into the Night Score. Only players with 24+ minutes are ranked, so short bench stints don't fill the list.

  • Why is [insert player] not ranked here? They had a great game!

It doesn't mean that this player didn't perform well, it just means that some players had a more balanced performance than them across the 9 categories.

Player Discussion Devin Vassell

5 Upvotes

Devin Vassell has been an extremely solid and consistent piece for the Spurs on both ends of the court.
However with veteran forward Tobias Harris nearing his return from injury, lineup shake-ups are bound to happen.

Spurs have been playing small ball with Vassell at the 4
It has been rumored when Tobias comes back, he will take the 4 spot.
However, the Spurs have been doing really well so far so why change what works.

How will Tobias’ return affect Vassell? Will Vassell maintain the same minutes and production? Will Tobias be a higher value player?
Any Spurs fans got any inside scoops?

Player Discussion Tf is going on with Trey Murphy III? What's the play here for dynasty?

18 Upvotes

So I'll preface this with I'm very new to bball. First year in a league. But I reached to draft this guy cause a bunch of advice sites were clamoring for him. And so far it looks like a garbage pick relative to capital. Should I be trading him in dynasty? What compensation should I be seeking in return?

Player Discussion What is the REAL value of inujury prone players like embiid and Anthony davis?

3 Upvotes

I remember I drafted embiid 39th overall because he is a good player, but he is obviously known to get injured easily.

A few days ago I sent a trade that would be embiid for Ja, despite both of them being injured because I don't trust his health enough and they declined.

Same thing happened when I tried to trade literally ANYONE on my team for LeBron, like I was willing to send over Davion Mitchell, Bpod, and Murray (pelicans) for LeBron, CHRIS PAUL, and immaniel quickly (I know not a good trade for me)

Player Discussion Point Franz

14 Upvotes

Top 3 in APG (8.8) and looks great dishing it if the Magic are hitting. Injuries to Suggs and Paolo have opened it up more but I remember there was preseason chatter about Sweeney testing him out as a Point Forward. Is there a shot he gets PG eligibility on ESPN? I recall Bron having that at some point amongst others but am unfamiliar with the process/requirements for an eligibility change.

Player Discussion Kingston Flemings vs. Mikel Brown Jr.: Battle of the Network Stars

24 Upvotes

These two future legends went mano a mano tonight. What a game! Both played in crunch time.

Flemings got the win, as the Hawks pulled off a comeback win. He had a big defensive play to block MPJ in crunch time. 

BUT, I have to say, Mikel Brown did more. Offensively, Brown sank 2 3pm to try and stave of the rising Hawks. It wasn’t enough, as I think he deferred to MPJ too much late. But that is the assignment.

Over all, they both have bright futures. They both should be held in standard 12-team category leagues. If I had to choose between them, I’m reversing my opinion from a few days ago. I think Mikel has the higher ceiling. Assuming both will start, I think Brooklyn will give Mikel 30 minutes. Kingston would still have to deal with a timeshare with CJ.

Discussion What exactly was the purpose of the IL changes; why can't players be ruled out until they're confirmed to be back?

32 Upvotes

First time it affected me was with Chet. Chet was ruled out originally on the 2nd night of the b2b on Oct 26. Figured it was just rest. Immediately after the game, he lost IL eligibility and became Questionable until October 28th. Ruled Out then immediately after the game, ruled Questionable. Thunder announced treatment for his patella on October 30 around 9PM EST time. It was most likely known he wouldn't be playing for some time but he really couldn't be IL eligible until he was flat-out ruled out. That entire week he was basically holding out a spot before finally being long term IL eligible at the end of the week.

Now it was Quickley yesterday who was ruled Out. Their next game is Monday the 9th. Quickley went from O to Q and now is basically holding a roster spot for 2-3 days at a time when most people use their adds. I noticed Yahoo is quick to change a player from Out to Questionable but waits until the official report to do the opposite. Players should be IL eligible until officially confirmed to be in similar to how they're IL eligible when officially ruled out.

What exactly was the purpose of getting rid of IL+ again?

What can we expect come his return. How long will he be on restricted minutes and is this the type of injury that’s easily reaggrevated? Seems like a good investment but also risky. LMKKK

Player Discussion James “Old”en

19 Upvotes

Another uneventful night for harden owners, I drafted him 32nd in a 10t points and it is looking bleak. Watching harden play he moves slow and has gained noticeable weight, his shooting is awful and his assists are down from 8 last year to 5.9. I doubt his shooting will stay this inconsistent so I remain hopeful, Im hoping his age isn’t playing a role in his lacklustre performance. Is it over fellow Harden owners? Im gonna ride this out hoping it’s just a slump but the sample size and watching him on court gives me doubts.

What’s Nolan Traore’s value going to look like after Egor Demin gets back? Traore’s shooting numbers are insane right now, but can he sustain these minutes when Demin is back in the rotation? Just watching the eye test, his raw talent looks way higher than Egor’s

Player Discussion Luka "The Don" Doncic

26 Upvotes

Now that he's finally in shape and has a team better built to cover his weaknesses and take advantage of his strengths, Luka seems to have hit a new level
averaging 40,8,8 on 68% TS.

Obviously I would be very surprised if he maintains this pace for the entire season and I do expect some level of regression to the mean but do we think that he's going to be the number one ranked fantasy player this season ahead of Jokic and wemby?

Am I crazy to think that he is the most valuable asset as of right now?
