For Wednesday? Can't play them both?

I also have Conley and Barton.

I guess the picture isn't very clear for me right now how you actually accumulate stats for roto leagues. I just assumed I would try to play Durant 82 games and fill in with someone else if he is out. Same thing with Tobias Harris and Kevin Love.

Do I have change my lineup every day? Once a week? Couple of times a week? Adjust based on waivers/trades/injuries? Not sure since I haven't done this before. I'm sure most of the changes come in at the bench and Utility roles.

Well you can set up days in advance...I usually scroll ahead and set up multiple days and on the last day I set it, I make sure I have all my best players in so if I forget to go back and check, my best players are on the bench. I don't know who you have in utility spots. It depends on whether or not you have any guys who only contribute in one or two categories...like 3 pt shooters who typically hurt you in FG% (if they don't do much else).

I'd definitely start Collison over Dinwiddie though because he gets assist but shoots 3s at a very high % (highest in league last year)..so his %s are good. Dinwiddie's %s are pretty awful I think. You can always change the view to look at last years stats. Also look at their current rankings, % of people starting, etc.

But yes, you should try to play your best player at every position 82 games.

Because this is nearly impossible, you should get some extra games from your Bench and Util on each position whenever they get a favorable matchup, or if you need to boost a category in which given player is better than the original at the position.

Took your advice :banghead: :lol: ... I actually had Dinwiddie penciled in and substituted Collison

Yeah, I just looked at all the game stats and was thinking "oh no...what I told bigfoot" Sorry :oops:

To add, I would almost always play assist guys more than guys like Len (not sure if you played him) but they add more....if your lineup is otherwise full I will always go with assist guys....unless you desperately need blocks, but we know Len...he can be good, but I wouldn't rely on him.

Yeah Len had been killing in the preseason and I was thinking blocks, rebounds, and three pointers. Reverted to the norm.
