Trade Value Radar

Buy the slump, sell the hot streak. Compares each player's recent points with what his minutes and usual shooting should produce, so you can tell bad luck that will turn from a role that has really changed.

  • Buy low and sell high lists, refreshed daily
  • A reason on every player: shooting, minutes or shots
  • Last 5, 10 or 15 games

How a week gets planned

Picking up whoever plays tonight leaves games on the table. The optimiser solves your whole week at once, the way a scheduling problem should be solved, so every move you make lands the most games it can.

  1. Set your week

    Enter your open spots, the moves you have left and anyone you're already holding. Held players cost no move, and the plan works around their game days.

  2. Every combination is solved

    An exact optimiser tests every add and drop sequence across all 30 team schedules, with no guessing and no greedy shortcuts. Ties go to the plan with more projected points, then to the one that uses fewer moves.

  3. Follow the day-by-day moves

    Each day lists who to add before tip-off and who to drop after their game. Equal options are grouped, so if a team gets taken you already have the backup.

Questions

Is HoopStreamLab affiliated with ESPN or the NBA?

No. HoopStreamLab is an independent tool for people who play in ESPN fantasy basketball leagues. It plans from the public NBA schedule.

Do I need to give my ESPN password?

No. The planner works without signing in to anything: you tell it your spots, moves and who you're holding. To use your real roster, connect your league by pasting its link: public leagues are read by their league ID. We'll never ask for your ESPN password.

Which league types work?

Any ESPN head-to-head league, points or categories, with a weekly limit on pickups. More games played helps in both, so you set the spots you stream and the moves you have left, and the planner does the rest.

How does the planner choose pickups?

It checks every combination of pickups against every team's schedule for the week and keeps the plans with the most games your spots and moves allow. With your league connected it names real free agents, and leaves off anyone ESPN lists as out. Without it, it plans by team.

How much does it cost?

There's a free plan with a taste of every tool. Pro is $24.99 USD for the whole season, after a 7-day free trial. Cancel during the trial and you won't be charged.

When can I sign up?

Soon. Get notified and we'll email you the day it opens.
