  • Are Teammates Importaint?

    I'm new to fantasy basketball. Does it help to have teammates on your fantasy team? If you have a SG should you try to get the PG from that team? I know in fantasy football some people try to pair up QB's and WR from the same team. Thanks!

      I don't think it's necessary to have teammates on your fantasy league team unless the draft ends up going this way---

      I had Bibby and Martin last year and finished 2nd---I'm a Kings fan but didn't think I'd end up with both--it worked out pretty well for me.

      always draft the best player available or the position you need most, regardless if you have two players from the same team.

      Given that there are so many games to be played it's better to have a range of players from lots of teams.

      The two (now three) exceptions to this rule are Dallas and Phoenix (and now minny) - if you have say, Dirk and Josh Howard/Terry or Marion/Nash and/or Amare and Barbosa/Bell (or now KG and Allen/Pierce) then that's fine...

      It's probably not smart to have more than two players from the same team though (especially in H2H - if the team has an off week then you can easily lose a matchup).
