How it works

Each player is worth his fantasy points a game times the games his team has left, less the games he's expected to miss injured, with your playoff weeks counted apart. A side that sends more players than it gets frees a roster spot for a streamer; a side that gets more has to drop someone.

Read the full method
  1. Points a game. This season's average and his last 15 games, blended evenly, then pulled toward last season while he's played few games this season. Scored with ESPN's default points.
  2. Games left. From the NBA schedule, from today to the end of the fantasy regular season. Without your league, the last 3 weeks of the season are the playoffs.
  3. Injuries. Out with a return date: the games before it. Out with no date: the next two weeks. Out for the season: every game. Day-to-day or doubtful: one game.
  4. The roster spot. A freed spot is worth a streamer: the 150th best player's points a game, over about 4 games a week. A side that gets more players than it sends drops its least valuable player, or a free-agent-level one when we can't see its roster.
  5. The verdict. Win or Loss on the rest-of-season points, or Close when the change is within 3% of what's traded. In a category league it's the categories you gain against the ones you lose, each your weekly total from here on and its rank in your league. A category where you're last or second last may be one you're punting, and you can leave those out.
  6. The other side. Their change too, marked likely acceptable when they gain or lose under 3%.
