Do you play fantasy basketball?

[Dominator83]

One thing I havent done yet and would like to try is an auction league. Interesting concept to it where everybody has a fair chance to get anybody. All about managing the cap

If so, which do you prefer, roto or h2h?

I play points leagues not category. The ones I'm in are all H2H. I'm pretty surprised that there's never any traffic on the fantasy forum here with all these NBAheads we have. It's mostly just people soliciting open spots in their leagues. Of course, we have a specific forum just for that, but they choose to ignore it and flood the fantasy only board too

I've been playing a bull **** FanDuel style league the past few years, and finally transitioned to a roto league this season upon invitation of a fellow RealGM'er. The format is definitely an improvement.

I'll give it a listen as soon as I get a chance

I'm picking 1st in my 12 team H2H league this season. Who do I take?

There are very reasonable arguments for all the following players in my opinion: Harden, Davis, KAT, Giannis, Curry. The annoying position to be in this year is #6, although the logical pick there IMO is Jokic.

If I had the 1st pick I would still go Harden I think. Sure, you can expect some dropoff from last year in the counting stats (Westbrook) but the gap last year between him and #2 was so huge that it's still a 'safe' pick.

My top 5, but again, it depends on how you want to build your team and I think all of them are more or less interchangeable:
1.Harden
2.KAT
3.Davis
4.Curry
5.Giannis

(Disclaimer: I never factor in turnovers, it's a stupid category in fantasy. You bench all your players and you win, what's the point?)

I won with KAT last year...taking him 4th I think. I was fine with top 6 this year and love Jokic. I didn't want Harden, so I would have gone AD, Giannis or Steph 2/3, KAT, Jokic (I have them listed in that order because I know Harden would have gone no lower than 4 anyway, so I would never probably have to take Jokic ahead of him.

And why didn't you want Harden? I'm in a points league so Harden is tough to turn down. The three guys I'm trying to decide from for the 1st overall pick are Giannis, AD and Harden in that order(tentatively). AD is the biggest injury risk and Harden now has Westbrook to share the ball with. Giannis still might have another step forward in him efficiency-wise and he's been an ironman so far.

Can anyone share any money leagues out there? Not quite sure why we can't (region-Asia/Philippines) join the Yahoo ones (we can, but no money involved).

Not for any real good reason other than he's not someone I really enjoy watching. But mainly because I think the top 5 are all pretty close. I think AD is the clear cut #1 too, and certainly if turnovers are involved. I don't know exactly what a points league is. If you are talking about purely PPG I could see why he would be a top consideration but in that case I'd probably go with Curry.

Most people use a different site to keep the money...can't remember the name of it because I don't use it but I don't think you can run a money league directly through yahoo.

I think the one people use might be this... https://www.leaguesafe.com/ no matter what site they use for the contest.
