Fantasy Basketball Rankings and Tools

How will players perform this season?

Our rest of season projections are updated daily based on today’s news and changing player roles. Josh Lloyd maintains our main projection set plus you can get an additional opinion by adding Kyle McKeown’s projections.

Who should I add or drop?

Who should I add or drop? Using our Advanced Ownership % (more relevant than the one you see from your provider), you can see who other users are adding and dropping. This also helps determine who will be popular when waivers run.

When should I draft a player?

The player's Value is only one thing to consider. ADP is helpful to make sure you don't draft someone too early, Positional Value shows the scarcity of the player's position, and Dynamic Value helps you draft players providing scarce stats.

What help do I get when drafting?

Using our Draft Tracker, you can import from Yahoo!, ESPN, FanTrax, and CBS to see your live projected standings and team analysis. This allows you to adjust your strategy on the fly to attack your opponents' strengths.

How do I win a competitive league?

In H2H leagues, punting can be your best strategy to win your league. Punting is deciding to ignore certain categories so you can concentrate on enough other categories to win your matchups. We provider punt instructions along with articles explaining how to punt major categories.

How strong is my team compared to others?

Our Team Analysis shows the total strength of your team and your strength in each category.  It also shows how balanced your categories are along with the individual balance of each player.   Building a balanced team can help defend against injuries.

Which players have potential?

Most pages allow an analysis based on Skill Level letting you to see which players produce on a per-minute basis.  This can be helpful to determine the upward potential of players while drafting or determining who to add/drop.

Will my H2H team make the playoffs?

Projected Standings estimate your wins/losses vs. all opponents letting you know if our analysts like your chances.  Once the playoffs are likely, you can then plan your potential matchups.

Will I win my matchup this week?

Using the H2H daily tool and the SmartTool, you can see estimated wins/losses vs. your opponent. You can then use the SmartTool for add/drop suggestions during the week to improve your chances.

What place will my Roto team finish?

Projected Standings combine current standings with the remaining projections to estimate your league's final standings. You can then use the SmartTool to get suggested adds/drops to improve your results.

How did players do today?

Our Live Results page along with live Box Scores let you see how players are doing today.  Each night, our analysts comment on relevant players letting you know who may be worth adding or dropping.

How difficult is a player's schedule?

Daily and short-term projections include an Ease value letting you know what the difficulty of their matchup will be. This can be used to determine who to start or who to add.

What does the community think of players?

Using our Polls, Message Boards, and User Comments, you can query the community to see what they're thinking.  Before making a questionable move, it's best to post a Poll to get quick feedback from our educated community.

What do analysts think of my players?

Analyst posts their comments on players nightly which can be seen through the Box Scores or the Monster Page.  The Monster Page will also show recommended adds/streams/drops/holds based on your league size.

Someone just got hurt, what do I do?

By watching our news feed, subscribing to our alerts, or following our private Twitter feed you can see injuries as they're reported. We also include a brief suggestion of who will likely benefit. Further analysis can be done with Usage Monster to see who benefits when a player is out.

Thanks BBM for another great season! Without your tools I wouldn't be close to doing the things that I'm doing. Won my super competitive league with a Punt 4 strategy. Would never be able to pull this kind of strategy off without BBM's tools to help me find the steals off the WW and draft.

I won my 16 team league after giving BBM a try this year. It is worth every penny and then some! Thanks to the whole BBM team for making such a great tool to give all us members the competitive edge!

Without BBM I would not have been able to come back from dead last to make it to the playoffs, and then win the championship!

Just want to heap some more praise. I finished regular season in first (35 games ahead of 2nd place team) and just crushed the finals match up 9-1. The group text was DEAD over the past few weeks because I broke everyone's spirits; there's no greater feeling!

4 competitive leagues: 3 out of 4 finals appearance and a semi-final run in the other. I've been a subscriber for a long time, and you guys just keep making the site better and better. Thanks!

I went from last place to first place in my 12 team keeper league with the help of BBM. Thanks to the entire BBM crew! Looking forward to next year already!

Thank you BBM! First year joined and avid podcast listener, and I won 1st place and $400 and most importantly an engraving on the league trophy! Keep up the great work!

Won both my leagues this year! Thanks BBM Crew! Made some crucial adds using the smart tool and daily player projection tool. They both really came in handy, made the playoffs by half a game in my one league, and won the championship by just 2 assists! In my other league I won the championship by just one steal! Thanks for everything, well worth the money!

Here here! Cheers to another successful season of fantasy basketball. I've learned so much through the years using BBM and this season proved to be the most difficult to maneuver. Fortunately, I've got some championships to cherish!

Basketball Monster is the only hoops site to which I pay money for projections and in-season management tools. I only play one team a year, and I honestly don’t think I've finished lower than second in any season since I began using BBM. The tools are great, the projections are great, and the customer service is great.

Thanks to bbm, I pick up players utilizing the weekly projections before anyone in my league knew they were heating up and I killed it in the playoffs.

I originally turned to BBM because our league uses a very intense auction/salary/contract/keeper format that renders most mainstream rankings and projections fairly worthless. BBM has made that so easy for me. So this year I won my league for the first time and raked in over $700 in winnings for my efforts.

Thank you for providing a great fantasy basketball resource! The daily summary, projections, and the forums were very helpful. I won my long term roto league (25 years) with 46 of 48 possible points, a league record. The punting analyzer was helpful in the last month as I was pushing for the record.

Thanks Basketball Monster! I was in 4 H2H leagues this year and made the finals in all 4. The site is easy to use and has a lot of great features, especially the daily/weekly projections. I'll definitely be back next year.

This is my first year using basketballmonster. I am in the championship game in 3 out of 3 h2h leagues, and in first place in 1 out of 1 roto leagues. Completely worth the money for the data, projections, and forums. I've never had a question unanswered.

You hooked me with the real-time draft tool. And now I banked first place for the first time in my $200 10 man H2H league. Big thanks to the weekly matchup tool, weekly projections, box scores, Yahoo! connectivity and news updates. Thanks guys! I heart this site somethin' fierce!

Since it was my first time playing Fantasy Basketball, I had no idea what to do. Luckily I came across Basketball Monster. It had a very seamless and smooth process to import my league from Yahoo! Sports. I've been ahead of my ROTO league by 20 points ever since the beginning of the season.

This is my first year here. I've always been astounded at just how few good fantasy basketball resources there are out there, but basketballmonster.com definitely stands out. The projections, H2H, weekly, and team analysis are top notch, and I don't know how I ever lived without them.

I recommend this site to anyone who plays fantasy sports. I feel that I have an advantage over anyone who doesn't use this site in regular formats and daily formats. I can't imagine not having this success without Basketball Monster. I think this is the best fantasy site bar none for fantasy stats.
