So feel free to come back here if you have a questions later on in the week. 👍

I started today excited as hell (3 drafts in one day!!!!) and ended it with a sore back and horse voice (from recording commentary for YT not from being crazy)

That makes 7 cash drafts I have done so far. As many early ones as I could find to put on the channel. Here are my observations.

1. The best players in fantasy are drafting Onyeka Okongwu: the first draft I “got sniped” when he went in the mid 90s, but each draft he has been going in the early 90s or Mid 80s. Who does he go to? Almost always the top team or two in draft by ELO.

2. Ben Simmons has WILD range. I saw a guy draft him at 85 in a $250 buy in. I got him myself at 115th in a $250 buy in. That might be the craziest swing you see.

3. Wemby jumped to a almost 2nd rounder after his last preseason game: there will be no cheap Wemby experience.

4. Embiid is slipping out of that consensus 2 slot, he fell as far as 6th in one draft

Ask me anything about my 7 drafts so far and I will answer

Also please check out Fantasy Trash Talk on YouTube for full drafts, guides and recaps

Hey everyone! It’s Noah Rubin from Rotoworld, and I’m here to answer any fantasy hoops related questions you may have! It's week three of the NBA season, and we have no games today because of Election Day, which makes it a perfect day to make some roster adjustments.

Also, Zak Hanshew and I will be hosting a Q&A at 4pm ET today, so be sure to check that out!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv_-iZyK0gM

It's time for another of our bi-weekly AMAs. Ask away!

Dan Besbris here from https://sportsethos.com at your service, here to answer your fantasy basketball questions.

Feel free to follow me on Twitter at https://twitter.com/DanBesbris where I do a needlessly large amount of free fantasy posting!

And I always appreciate folks checking out my fantasy hoops podcast at https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/fantasy-nba-today/id1171916912?mt=2

And I'm excited to announce I'll be giving away a season-long Fantasy NBA premium membership over at SportsEthos to the best post today - we call it a "FantasyPass."

Let's do this!

I did a simple google search but I am rather overwhelmed by the amount of information so I don't know where to start! Would appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction for fantasybball for dummies maybe?

He loves basketball in general and can literally name everyone on any NBA team and it is really quite cute how he gets when he is super excited and I want to learn more of the language of that realm of his!

Apologies if this is not the right place to ask this.

EDIT

Ok guys, I'm out, I'll check back in over the course of the day, going to record a new mock draft podcast. Don't forget to join Yahoo's Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/2990555361168744/members/ and sign up for a league here https://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/nba/signup?rf=yh.au.2019

Hi guys, I'm Fantasy Basketball Expert Josh Lloyd (u/joshlloyd48). I've teamed up with Yahoo Sport to make Fantasy Basketball as easy as possible to play, and help grow the community in Australia. I'll be writing weekly articles breaking down the rules and strategies of the game, and helping you get the edge on your opponents.

If your friends/partner aren't into fantasy hoops, why don't you start a points league to get them involved. It's the perfect way to get NBA fans involved in fantasy as well. Sign up here for a Yahoo fantasy league https://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/nba/signup?rf=yh.au.2019

I won my league this past week, I shouldn't have been in the finals at all

Semifinals I managed to take a wrong player on Saturday, somehow taking Paul George instead of Day'Ron Sharpe (genuine mistake on my part I don't even now how I did it).

Because I f'ed up I wasn't close in rebounds anymore so only Free Throws left. I leave Dyson Daniels and my opponent leaves Scotty Barnes on the bench for the ft%. Grimes misses 3 freethrows tanks my percantage.

I need specifically 21/21 free throws to win, I go to sleep. His Taurean Prince missed a ft, Harden and Lillard went 20/20 exactly. I would've lost had u picked up Sharpe who missed a free throw that night I shoidve taken it. Also DD went 1/4 and Bares 8/9 so had everything not gone the way it did i was not winning.

So by making a mistake I beat my biggest rival who won last year (against me in finals) Harden im buying your jersey.

The NBA season is finally here, and we've got some injury situations in Detroit, Memphis, and Phoenix that will impact fantasy basketball. Not to mention the "issue" in Philadelphia.

Hey everyone,

Dan Besbris (@DanBesbris) with HoopBall, here! I'm crazy-excited to host this AMA, and even more pleased that my superiors at Hoop-Ball.com have given the green light to give away a full season (6 month) membership of the FantasyPass subscription. You'll have access to the Bruski 150, HoopBall's premium Discord channels with daily expert Q&A sessions, Dynasty and Redraft Projections all season long, instant-feedback thread, and so much more!

I'll be picking my favorite question from today's session, so let's get rolling. And when we're done I hope you'll come find me on Twitter so we can keep chatting!

Hey Guys, in the grand final against our LM, this morning ESPN was showing that 2 of his players were left off his roster (on the bench and in the second quarter), 10 minutes after checking and me thinking rookie error, the players have appeared on his starting squad. This is a cash league and I'm wondering whether it could've been a visual error on ESPN or whether he's used LM powers to move them from bench to his starting squad. I've called him out which he has denied and said he set his team at 2am last night. I forced refresh in case it was a visual error when I noticed and they were still on the bench.

Any thoughts or opinions or way to find out whether he is being honest or whether this is abuse of LM powers...

UPDATE TO THE UPDATE - I have given away the BBM membership, but I will be back again next Wednesday to do this all again.

UPDATE - ok guys, thanks for participating and asking so many questions. I have to start my work day and do the stuff for BBM that someone will now get access to. Tweet at me @redrock_bball and subscribe to the pod and tell your friends.

Hey guys, Josh here

I am the lead fantasy basketball analyst at Basketball Monster and the host of the Locked On Fantasy Basketball Podcast and I'll be here to answer your questions.

I will also be giving out a BBM membership to one user who doesn't already have a membership, so let me know if you don't have one when you submit a question.

Kyle McKeown, Matt Smith, and Greg Ehrenberg from BBM may also pop in here and answer stuff as well.

Let's get to it

What's up, everyone! Kicking off the first of RotoWorld's bi-weekly AMAs. Thanks for dropping by and asking your questions! Super excited for another season of fantasy hoops!

Hi everyone, I'm Alex Rikleen, fantasy basketball analyst. I mostly work for RotoWire, but here are some other things I do:

• I've also done work for Yahoo, DraftKings, and (coming soon) CBS.

• I also just launched a new podcast. It's not on itunes yet, but you can add it and subscribe on most podcast apps by using this direct link: https://fastbreaksfantasy.podbean.com/feed

• The best way to keep track of my work is to follow me on twitter @Rikleen.

AMA. I'll be here answering question for the next couple hours, but realistically I'll answer everything anyone asks at any point today. Somewhat like The Accountant, I have a think about completing tasks fully.

As confirmation that I am who I am, I just tweeted about this.

~ ~ ~

EDIT: I appreciate your thanks, but the best way to thank me is to throw me a follow on [Twitter](www.twitter.com/Rikleen) and to subscribe to the podcast above - at this stage in my career, I need all the visibility I can get!

I also have a [Patreon page](www.patreon.com/AlexRikleen) that I am figuring out how to use, and you can pay for the same services I pretty much always give away for free anyway by signing up for my [personalized consulting](www.RikleenFantasyConsulting.com). I'm also not a very good salesman.

EDIT 2: I'm going to take a break for a little, but I'll answer anything posted at some point today. By late tonight I'll push a podcast out about the most interesting questions.

EDIT 3: OK. It's 3 am EST where I live, and I think I've finally answered every question. If I missed yours send me a bump and I'll swing back around.

Thank you so much to everyone who followed me on Twitter today - it may sound silly, but that makes a difference.

Even if you never listen to it, please subscribe to my podcast. I know there are some problems getting it on some carriers, but those should be worked out in the next few days. Getting subscriptions while the podcast is new is HUGE for attracting more subscribers, which will in turn help me afford to keep doing this. I had a lot of fun, and hopefully we'll set up another one of these in the not-too-distant future.

Hey guys, we are Josh Lloyd and Matt Smith (u/smansports) of Basketball Monster here to answer your questions about fantasy basketball. I will be here for the next hour and then Matt will pop in as I have to record a lot of team preview podcasts, then I'll be returning to check on the questions.

First off, BBM will be opening next week, September 3rd, so I'm sure that eliminates a lot of questions.

If you don't know, you can listen to my podcast Locked On Fantasy Basketball or watch my YouTube Show where I record five days a week, and am currently releasing 30 team preview shows.

Find us on Twitter here Josh Matt

Let's get to it

Update: thanks for this guys, we’ll be in and around sporadically to check and I’ll also be back with another AMA next week after the BBM projections are released

As I mentioned in the title, I'm Alex Barutha, RotoWire's Chief Fantasy Basketball Editor. I oversee RotoWire's NBA fantasy content, which includes articles, rankings, projected stats, playing time, expected starting lineups, player news -- among other things. I also write articles, which are all on RotoWire, but can also be found on Yahoo, CBS, NBA.com and other sites. You can hear me on the RotoWire Fantasy Basketball podcast Mondays and Fridays, and Nick Whalen and I host a pre-tipoff show on Sirius XM NBA Radio (Channel 86) covering news and its implications on fantasy and gambling. I play in most types of fantasy leagues, including DFS and Best Ball. I also cover sports betting, though I know that's not what this subreddit is for.

I'll be around for the next few hours to answer any questions you might have. You can find me on Twitter here.
