Common questions
Who should I pick up in fantasy basketball this week?
Start with the best available list: players usually on waivers in 12-team leagues, ranked by per-game value in your format. Then check games left this week; for a short-term stream, a player with four games beats a slightly better one with two.
What is the difference between streaming and a waiver pickup?
A streamer is added for the games he plays this week and dropped after. A waiver pickup is someone you keep because he is better than a player on your roster for the rest of the season. My Team finds both for your exact league.
