J-Dub was just listed as Doubtful on Yahoo after breaking his damn leg and being out for monthsโ€ฆ or potentially longer. Do owners in keeper or dynasty leagues seriously have to wait for an official diagnosis before they can IL him and pick up a replacement? Absolutely ridiculous..

Player Discussion Ty "me up and throw away the key" Jerome pt. 2

169 Upvotes

I know it's only been three games, but this guy is already looking like a potential league winner. He's putting up insane numbers, and his ridiculously high usage rate makes me think he can sustain a lot of this production. Even if he cools off a bit, he should still be a really valuable fantasy player. I managed to snag him in the 8th round, and at this rate, he could genuinely end up being one of my top three players this season.

Thoughts?

Player Discussion Anthony Black

89 Upvotes

Black made his season debut Sunday after missing the first two games with an ankle sprain, and he looked more than ready, scoring 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting with 5 3s, 5 assists, 3 boards and 2 steals in 26 minutes. With Banchero out for an extended period and Suggs hurt, Black will play a lot of minutes and provide a much-needed versatile guard who can create, defend and help generate offense. The Magic elected not to extend him earlier in the offseason. It'll be interesting to see how his play might force their hand. He's a must-add in all formats as he'll see a big boost in usage going forward. CONGRATS IF YOU SNAGGED HIM.

Discussion First week officially finishes. Which underwhelming players in your roster do you think will play better in no time?

62 Upvotes

Collin Murray Boyles plays very low minutes for some reason despite the fact that Kawhi is no show. I believe he has no problem filling up the statsheet in coming few games. There's no way he all of a sudden forgets how to play basketball.

Who do you think in your roster will play better soon?

FAQ

  • How are players ranked?

Each player's line is compared to 2025-26 per-game averages for their primary position (G, F or C, using players who averaged 20+ minutes). Each of the 9 categories becomes a z-score (FG% and FT% are weighted by attempts, turnovers count against). Z-scores are capped at ยฑ10 and summed into the Night Score.

  • Why is [insert player] not ranked here? They had a great game!

It doesn't mean that this player didn't perform well, it just means that some players had a more balanced performance than them across the 9 categories.

Discussion Week 2 waiver wire adds: 33 pickups rostered in under 65% of Yahoo leagues, grouped by league size

54 Upvotes

Week 2 adds are live. Every pick is rostered in under 65% of Yahoo leagues as of today (October 26), all for 9-cat leagues, grouped into six tiers by league size โ€” from 10-teamers down to the 14โ€“16-team deep names.

Full list with stats for all 33: https://www.nbadepthcharts.com/waiver-wire-week-2

A few that stood out: - Anthony Black (ORL ยท 48% ยท 10-team tier) โ€” Great first game back, and now Suggs may be out a couple weeks. Recall Black started last season on fire and could be more consistent this year. - Ajay Mitchell (OKC ยท 55% ยท 10โ€“12-team tier) โ€” Should be back to his role from last season with JDub now out again. - Paul Reed (DET ยท 50% ยท 12-team tier) โ€” Should be serviceable for a couple weeks with Duren out. - Jaxson Hayes (UTA ยท 27% ยท 12โ€“14-team tier) โ€” Great source for blocks for at least a few more weeks until Nurkic returns. - Dennis Schrรถder (CHA ยท 26% ยท 14-team tier) โ€” Some counting stats for your team until White returns. - Kris Dunn (LAC ยท 22% ยท 14-team tier) โ€” Great source for steals, and better all-around than Keon Ellis. - Keon Ellis (BKN ยท 15% ยท 14โ€“16-team tier) โ€” Great source for steals if Dunn isn't available. May lose more and more minutes to Mikel Brown. - Ja'Kobe Walter (TOR ยท 7% ยท 14โ€“16-team tier) โ€” 2.3 SPG and 2.7 3PM are unsustainable, but hard to ignore.

Whoever has Steph. Try your best to get rid of him now. The warriors are the worst team in the league and Steve Kerr already has plans to sit him to preserve his knees. He is a ticking time bomb, I would ship him for any star that could be relatively healthy down the road. Use whatever games that he does well in to ship him off.

Never really followed CMB or have watch his game this year but saw him late last season and he looked pretty solid for a big man. I have him as my 11th round pick. 14 team category league. His minutes are low and did not really show any change today even with kahwi out. What happened today?
