The fantasy basketball season gets underway on the court, with the start of the NBA regular season on Tuesday, October 22. For those drafting in the next few days, I’ve got you covered with the final preseason update to the annual Top 150 Players World Rankings.
In the chart below, I’ve provided three different sets of rankings: one for ROTO leagues, one for Head-to-head (H2H) leagues, and one for Points-based (PTS) leagues.
For the majority of players, there will be little variation — a similar ranking across all three scoring formats. But for some players, as you will see, the scoring system makes a big difference.
This cheat sheet will be updated at least twice during the preseason, so be sure to check back if you’re drafting in mid-to-late October.
Happy crafting, and good luck this season. To the world rankings!
Note: The last column (far right) in the table below is the average rating (AVG) for each player in the three scoring formats combined.
