If you’re playing fantasy basketball for the 2020-21 season, chances are your draft is on the horizon. Never fear, because DraftKings Nation has you covered with top 100 fantasy basketball rankings for ESPN H2H category leagues. Training camps are opening around the NBA on Tuesday, December 1st, and we’ve compiled two sets of rankings for fantasy basketball — one from myself and the other from DKN Staff Writer Ameer Tyree.
Even if you’re playing on Yahoo! or another fantasy website, these rankings will be a useful tool while you’re going through picks in your draft. Whether it’s a 10-team league, a 12-team league, even 14 teams, the DKN top 100 rankings will come in handy. While making these choices, we took into consideration ESPN’s new scoring system, which you can review here. Below is a table with both our rankings for the 2020-21 season.
Draft week update — So if anyone was worried about drafting James Harden, it seems that some of those worries can be put to rest. The Beard made his preseason debut on Tuesday night and had 12 points in 21 minutes on poor shooting — right in his wheel house for a preseason debut. Harden appears to be OK starting the season in Houston. It’s definitely not what he wants, but what choice does he have?
Harden’s weight become a topic when pics surfaced of him looking a bit chonky during pre-game warmups. It was probably just the cameras, Harden didn’t seem too held back by it. If anything it has more to do with him just returning to practice. I’ve still got Harden at No. 4. A lot of places have him higher. I think in the top 5 is still the right way to go. If you’re that worried about Harden’s conditioning/situation or a potential trade to a place with more mouths to feed, go with someone else in that range.
Note: Boston Celtics PG Kemba Walker (knee) is expected to be out until at least early January. More here.
Note: The Rockets have reportedly traded PG Russell Westbrook to the Wizards for PG John Wall. More here.
Note: Hornets SF Gordon Hayward has an avulsion fracture in his right hand and is considered day-to-day. More here.
