Rotoworld Basketball Show – Fantasy Basketball

We all know what happens if you punt one category in fantasy leagues. But what happens if you punt three? Matt Stroup and Steve Alexander break down a draft strategy of punting the "sub-zero" categories — field goal percentage, free throw percentage and turnovers — and consider which players perfectly fit the bill. Among them (as you might imagine): Russell Westbrook, Luka Doncic and Ben Simmons. We also consider where Blake Griffin, De'Aaron Fox and D'Angelo Russell fit into the equation. Plus, with the recent news that Kawhi Leonard will seriously consider staying in Toronto beyond this season, we ask ourselves whether or not he'll be on our fantasy squads in 2019-20.

And is it crazy to have Jonathan Isaac ranked ahead of Aaron Gordon in fantasy leagues next season? These are just a few of the many topics we cover during a fast-paced and possibly informative 25 minutes. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The NBA has a whole lot going on, so I spent the first 13 minutes going over some takeaways from Thursday. A ton of rotation changes for a slew of teams, so I want to go over that for non-Friday DFS and for all the loyal season-long owners out there.After the 13 minutes, it's a loaded Friday DFS slate.

Plus, some more teams are going to go with a youth movement.There is also more season-long talk in here than usual, so hoping it helps out those looking to get a title.

There is a ton of value opening up from injuries and rest. James Harden is Mr. Chalk with Chris Paul out while several other Rockets get more opportunity. Plus, the Suns are also without their point guard due to a knee issue for Tyler Johnson, so there's some value to be had there.The Lakers also don't have LeBron James for rest, which gets the South Bay Lakers more chances to produce. Reggie Jackson may also not play in that game either to open up even more value.Even besides those two, there is still plenty of value to go around in what is one of the wilder Friday slates of the season.Good luck!

At this point in the fantasy hoops season, it's arguably the most important question there is: Which players can we trust?
