Is Sengun a drop?
Might be, especially with all hands on deck needed for streaming. I think Rockets definitely make a trade before a deadline but who knows when and what players come back. If you can afford to stash then go for it, but dont hold him at the cost of stacking W's
Do you still use basketball monster? I splurged with some Christmas money and bought the basic membership and am having a hard time integrating my league.

Got it integrated! Still having a hard time navigating it. It is like trapped in 2001
ClutchCityAg

Yeah I still use it. Main pages I use are the monster page, Schedule Analyzer (for streaming), Daily projections, and box scores. Projected standings is decent, just hard to account for all the IR players

What tool did you use to show me player rankings last year? I cannot tell which functions to select to get the best view.

There's a couple different pages for rankings/projections.

The one named just 'projections' is for the rest of the season. you can sort it by total value, per game value, and more.

Then you have weekly and daily projections. Weekly has a nice feature where you can just pick the days you want projections for and it will add them up. The colored boxes on the right side indicate who owns each player

The help and FAQ section is actually pretty helpful, they have youtube videos going over how to use the site

This, IMO, is the most valuable feature: the schedule analyzer tool. It shows you a schedule grid, color coded by matchup ease. The number in parentheses next to each player is their projected rank over the time period you have selected.

So in the example below, Malik Beasley is probably who I would drop now that Kat and Ant are back healthy. And cavs players are the best for streaming since they are the only team with 3 games left this week. But then when I change it from Thurs-Sun to Fri-Sun, you can see how the rankings change and now theres other streamers who would be as good or better than those cavs players since they no longer have an extra game over them.

On the backend of my roster I have

Sengun
Marcus Morris
Patrick Beverey

Would y'all cut any of them to add Monte Morris, Isaiah Hartenstein, Devin Vassell, or Kelly Olynk?

I currently have 3 dudes on IR so I am about to run into some roster trouble wants everyone gets healthy. May need some help brainstorming 2 for 1 ideas too.

Just traded JJJ for DeAaron Fox. How do we feel about that?
ClutchCityAg
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Vassell might be worth an add. who to drop depends on how the clippers rotation shakes out. You know how i feel about sengun already lol

Love the trade for Fox, I was trying to buy low on him as well

DeAaron Fox
WCJ
Khris Middleton
Tyrese Maxey
Jarred Vanderbilt
PatBev
Marcus Morris

Daniel Gafford
ClutchCityAg

I would see what you could get for some combo of Maxey, WCJ, Vanderbilt, and Morris

Yeah I like OG a lot. Maybe try and buy low on SGA? He has been going through a rough stretch

The SGA owner is 1-10 and doesn't try. I am not going to make a deal with him. It is a shame because his team is damn good too.

Is Daniel Gafford trending towards a drop?

What the hell to do with Malcolm Brogdon…

yeah might be, will have to see how many minutes they want Thomas Bryant to play when he is 100%

I think Brogdon could get traded, so between that possibility and his health.. total wild card

Who would you cut to activate Sengun?
Marcus Morris
Daniel Gafford
Jarred Vanderbilt
ClutchCityAg

Sorry, might be too late but probably Gafford

Saint Pablo
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Didn't have to cut anyone since Brogdon is back to the IR! Lol I am so sick of him.

Gafford is probably getting cut next week when CJ comes back though...him or Alpi.
Saint Pablo
How long do you want to ignore this user?
It pains me, but might have to let Alpi go with the Rockets horrible schedule for fantasy this next month.

Is Jordan Poole a drop with Klay back?

I feel like I need to prune my roster, and my league isn't super active in the trade space so it's hard to devise a 2 for 1 situation.

Roster:
Trae Young, Giannis, Sabonis, Jrue Holiday (IR), Miles Bridges, Gordon Hayward, Valanciunas, Capela (IR), Desmond Bane (IR), Haliburton (IR)

That I would say is my core group. I have also the following:

Josh Giddey, Cole Anthony, Richaun Holmes, Mikal Bridges, Jordan Poole


Is Poole, Giddey, Anthony, Holmes, Mikal a drop for Scottie Barnes?

EDIT: It's an 8T 8CAT league if that matters.

Id drop Poole and add barnes yeah.

I would try to punt FT% if you have Giannis and Capela, and then target someone like Gobert.

Alright so I am in a great spot right now, my team has finally caught some steam...put up over 500 points last night! But again, I have a dilemma where I am trying to free up some roster spaces to stream down the road and to activate guys off of the IR. Any ideas? Here is what the roster looks like right now:

Jokic
Luka
Siakam
Ja
Evan Mobley
Khris Middleton
Tyrese Maxey
CJ McCollum
Malcolm Brogdon
WCJ
De'Aaron Fox
Kelly Olynyk
Jarred Vanderbilt
Marcus Morris
PatBev
Jae Crowder

So Jae Crowder is droppable...I am just streaming him on the low volume day, but other than that pretty much everyone is close to top 100. Any 2 for 1 or buy-low ideas? I have been fishing, but no bites so far.

So I was just going through the schedule analyzer and found that Phoenix has the best remaining schedule for ROS.

When are your league's playoffs?

When are your league's playoffs?
Round one starts February 28-March 6 and the championship is March 14-20. Does that sound like the right time?

That's earlier than my league, but I have been trying to get ours moved up for awhile now. I think thats a good time for it for sure.

So if you are confident you will make playoffs, the teams with the best schedules for those weeks are:
TOR - Siakam
PHO
UTA
MIN - Vanderbilt, Bev
OKC
SAS
-------- Tier
ATL
ORL - WCJ
DEN - Jokic
SAC - Fox
CLE - Mobley

The teams with the worst schedules for those weeks are:
CHI
BOS
CHA
POR - CJ
PHI - Maxey
BKN


So some great targets would be Ayton, Booker, CP3, FVV, Gobert, Mitchell, Giddey, Shai, Dejounte, Poeltl, and Garland

If you are worried about making playoffs, TOR, PHO, OKC, DEN, and MIN also have great schedules for the whole month of Feb, so Id prioritize those guys.
