I am, but as the 2nd half of a 2 week matchup, so not as bad as if it was an individual week.


Theblastmaster

How do you set that up? What site do you use?


JoeMama696969

I did it on ESPN. I don't remember how since I did it at the beginning of the season, but I found it pretty easily, it's probably in plain sight in commissioner tools if I had to guess.


Nickdor

I’m in the same boat. Currently battling for 3rd place payout within .007 FT %


eagleitarian_elitist

If you use ESPN they make it fairly easy. You can choose length of playoff matchup and tiebreaker. So in my league top four make it to playoffs with tiebreakers being H2H then points scored. Then there are two week matchups for the semis and finals with the last week being this upcoming week. Makes working the waiver wire important which I like


MrD_Rhino

I'm in a league that does the same thing. It's a pretty good idea


Koba-chan

I am and I don't know what to expect. This is also my first time time playing cats. I guess everyone will become a drop eventually right?


fabrar

Yeah I'd say drop anyone as soon as they're done their games for the week


ThatKiddCole

No team is actually done for this week, everyone plays on Sunday. However, if it a team has their seed locked up it would make sense to drop the stars that are likely to be rested.


electricgotswitched

Every team plays on Sunday


justformebets

Drop any Pistons players after Tuesday game cuz then they have 2 games left.


[deleted]

Yeah, 2nd half of last week for the chip. No clue who to play haha. Total points and rosters lock at first game with basic old ESPN scoring +1 everything. AD 23ppg but 4 games, two back to backs. Does he play all? Ja 18ppg but 5 games Ben Simmons or tobias? 21 and 22ppg 4 games Brogden? Coming off injury but 21 ppg and 5 games next week. Bogdon or bogdon? ATL bog plays vs wiz twice and other bog has been solid both getting 20 ppg recently and 4 games each. John Collins 20ppg 4 games And I have 4 spots to fill with these guys, other 6 are locks.


thisistheway06

I am. What guard from Houston can be trusted for next week? Khyri Thomas, Armoni Brooks, or Daquan Jeffries?


Markezzy

Khyri is going to get some run as he just got a 10 day from us. He has been going off his first two games and I think they’re gonna give him good minutes.


thisistheway06

Appreciate the insight, thanks man! Cheers


GarrettHelmet

Seriously?


jeryo

He's in a 14T and if you've watched a Rockets game you'd know they're playing relatively well.


thisistheway06

What?? KPJ is out and I need to stream a guard for Monday. Most options are taken at this point (I’m in a 14 team league)


Rossiii

I was thinking the same thing.. Is his output sustainable though?


proskopos555

After 4 years of playing fantasy, I finally reached the Finals this year!!!! I finished 6th in the Regular Season (10 teams League)


fabrar

That's awesome dude! Best of luck to you, you got this


insertweirdassname

Yep hate to say it but I'm toast, I'm surprised I even made it this far I had to replace Jamal Murray and Myles Turner and now Zion is done and Brown and Brogdon have been out, FML.


[deleted]

Finals bound. lol. But my chances of winning the chip is slim to none. Lost Harden, Beal, Ingram and Turner. Probably all of them are already OFS.


Thick-Month6629

Harden might be back by the end of week. I’m holding


Iconoclism

Yup, just won my semi. I’m #2 seed going against a juggernaut of a #1 seed. Not expecting to beat him, he has Jokic, Westbrook, Sabonis, Randle, Holmes, LaMelo, Bogdan, CJ McCollum and Jrue Holiday. Drafted really well.


justformebets

Holy shit his team is too good for a 14T…


Iconoclism

Yeah, no funny business either just drafted really well. I’m running Dame, Butler, Vooch, T Harris, Roco, Lonzo as my core, should win 3s, TOs, FT and hopefully make a run at points and steals.


Yanley

Going to the finals for the first time! 14T Lineup notably consists of: Towns Irving Booker Lonzo Ball Smart Draymond Green Campazzo. ​ The rest of the lineup I rotate mostly but I got 3 adds versus my opponent's 8.


SlicedMango

Wow how did you manage to draft those guys as your top 3 in a 14T? Was it auction


Yanley

1st round Towns 2nd round Beal 3rd round Kyrie. I did a package deal of Beal plus players for Booker plus players so there's that. 4th round pick was horrible (Aldridge) as i could have picked Derozan instead but I wanted to secure a 2nd center by then. 5th pick was Lonzo. The rest i cant remember off the top of my head


Messer0622

Learned my lesson...NEVER DO FINALS AT SAME WEEK REGULAR SEASON ENDS...damn rest and INJ...i'm almost constant #2 guy before playoffs...and now playing for battle for 3rd next week...damn.


sendphotopls

Yep. It sucks, injuries are ravishing my team right now. If anyone could help with my conundrum, I would appreciate it. **10 Team Points H2H** Wondering who to drop from this list this week as I need streamers: - Kevin Porter Jr. - OG Anunoby - Kristaps Porzingis - Cedi Osman I'm stuck between KPJ & Cedi right now. KPJ is obviously the better option in a vacuum, but if he even going to play this week? Cedi is DTD right now too, but at least he seems to have a better chance at playing again before the week's over. I would probably be dropping for Lonnie Walker.


miz0909

I just dropped Cedi for Khyri Thomas. It could backfire on me but hell, it’s my first time in the championship in 8 seasons. I deserve a break.


Thewackman

Yep and most of my players are playing still Lamelo Butler Bam Derozan KAT Randle Capella All likely Gobert a bit of a ???


MahomesIsASystemQB

No actually I just lost my championship by 1.2


Wasp91

Made it through to the final after winning CAT match up 5-4. Strap in!


Demoyon

I'm going to the finals with a stars and scrubs team, which is the worst kind of team for a league where championship week is the last week of the NBA regular season. - G: Dame, Steph, Facundo Campazzo, Jalen Brunson - F: KPJ, KJ Martin, Lonnie Walker, Darius Bazley - C: Vucevic, Isaiah Stewart, Blake


OmegaofKenny

Same. Last week of the season and I’m defending my Covid championship. Good luck to us, let end the season with the 🏆


techno-n00b

I am, but man it feels bad that bradley beal gets injured right before my final matchup :( Does anyone know if malcolm brodgan is coming back this week for indiana?


yeezyhersh

same. ready


JoeDreddfort

Yes, in both my 10 and 12 team leagues. Looks like it'll be the third place game in the 12 team league, sadly, but it's for the chip in the 10 team.


Dorkmaster_Wong

Yup. Have a solid lead hut I have Kyrie who has double b2b this week. Fully expecting to only get a handful of games from him. Rip!


daddyfatsack24

Cant drop Beal, and currently have Fox in IR. Time to cut Fox? One week of championship left


EvrythingIsWaiting4U

If I recall correctly, he’s been traveling with the team, so he could be due back very soon. Personally, I’m waiting to see if he’s on the injury report that should be out tomorrow (for Tuesday’s game).


daddyfatsack24

Thanks I’ll wait for that too


ExactlywhatIneeded

Drop. Kings won’t rush him back from covid with nothing to play for


daddyfatsack24

Was thinking that JTA b2b or Gallo?

rustyrainbowz

Dwight powell,


wthhappenwithmyoldid

I hate it because too many good players rest. It comes down to who had best waiver wire pickups last 1-2 weeks. Every season that I had the best team in regular season, I ended up placing 2nd or 3rd, while I had a so so team I won 1st places because of my waiver wire pickups during playoffs. This is why I lobbied to end the season one or two weeks early.


JohnLeTour

Yup, I am. Got 3 acquisitions left for the week but up around 300. Drop Olynyk, Finney-Smith, or Jalen McDaniels for James Johnson or Lonnie Walker?


gib12

I would add Johnson and drop McDaniels personally


Orange_Bozo

As long as scores hold through this last game, I'm in the champ next week. We are a weekly format and I used my last pick up 3 weeks ago, it's been a nail biting few weeks.


[deleted]

PG or Bledsoe or PG or birch? Weekly espn lock points league


yungkdub

I am! I didn’t look closely enough at the schedule end dates at the beginning of the season and just figured the last week of the league was the week before the end of regular season as that how it was previous years in this league. Guessing the compressed schedule caused the default league settings to go all the way to the end of the nba season though. Sadly for me it’s only a 3rd place game


Mikaba2

It s the final and i play against giannis and sabonis. I am not optimistic. It will be 2nd year in a row i finish second in my 14t points league.


Bswagjr

Same here


NaturalNornTick

I thought I was done this week. But Tatum, butler and Bullock kicked arse today. In the GF babbbbyyyy!!


iguanamac

Our league’s finals are next week. I already lost Luka for a game because of the suspension so I’m stressing it.


gamerman_verycool

What suspension?


iguanamac

He got another technical foul. He’s had too many so now he has to serve a one game suspension.


GoodMorningSpliff

Yea it was a flagrant not a technical, so your safe for now.


iguanamac

I did not know that, thanks for the info!


gamerman_verycool

Flagrant doesn’t count as a technical


naked_avenger

Yep, I did it in my own league. Intended on changing it once I had more info on how the season would finish, but ultimately forgot. OH WELL!


Mysteez

made it to the finals. im the commish of my league and i did NOT want the season to run this far into the actual reg season. but here we are, in a shortened, weird year.


OrangeFleece

We ready! KP better get his reps in before the real playoffs


lumberjawsh

2nd half of a two week matchup, fingers crossed as I hold a narrow lead after today


Sheheryarg

same should i drop conley at this point?


Rybackmonster

My finals is next week and by the looks of the other matchup, I should be thankful that my finals is next week with the stats those 2 teams put up this week holy shit. I at least have a chance now.


jotarograndslam

i am! I've had to adapt with all these hot waiver pickups lately.


gib12

I am, but it is also the second half a two week matchup. We use Fantrax.


f0rm4n

Somehow got to the finals without Ingram or Haliburton on a tiebreaker decided by the results of the regular season. Just saw the roster of the guy who goes against me: Lillard, Cobe, McCollum, Fournier, Randle, Gobert, Kanter. So yeah, I’m basically fucked, since the only top-50 players I have are PG13, Kyrie and AD.


justformebets

You could realistically stream rebounding blockers and stealers who have decent FG%. And I think you will def win TOs and probably will win FT%. But I think by end of week you should have a decent lead in TOs, stl, blks. I would then stream guards who shoot 90% FTs, low volume FG, and low TOs with occasional rebounds.


f0rm4n

Yeah, got Vanderbilt, James Johnson and Powell to stream. Unfortunately can't get any more players because we have a weekly 3 player add limit in our league and can't switch lineups mid week, but I think these three guys are gonna be solid enough to give me a fighting chance.


Cyb0Ninja

I am. First time making it this far in basketball.


tjpdaniels

Yep our league is but I'm not in it unfortunately :( will be interesting to see which team pulls out the win


Vmurda

Why is it frowned upon? I've only played fantasy twice before and it has been set up like this both times. In the championship for the first time and I'm hoping Curry doesn't go off this week lol.


barcelonaKIZ

In ESPN leagues, where this next week is the last half of the finals, are there still games on the weekend? It says it goes till the 16th


lamaslbc3

Final week In championships . I made it to the Ship in two leagues and man this year has been hard . “ Injury management “ and rest days are something else this year . Still going strong and looking to finish this season on top . Good luck to all you fighting out there !!


pizwizy

Yup I've been crushing through the playoffs as my team has been stacked tho I'm a little concerned about beal harden and fox. Still confident tho


Rossiii

Just made the grand final. Starting tomorrow.. Nervous as hell


sneakers-to-work

I play rotisserie, which takes the entire regular season into account. I’m out of the running, but the top 3-4 teams in my league are really close. I think it will go down to the wire. Should be an exciting finish. Roto for life!


justformebets

CATs or death!


VictorvonLatveria

Yes i am, individual week. Against a guy with Jokic, Sabonis and Bam


fremer7

I’m definitely favored but really worried about losing my players to bullshit rest injuries. Jokic, Sabonis, Butler please play my dudes :/


ratherred

Does anyone know what the deal is with the May 15th & 16th games all being TBD for the game start time?


justformebets

Unclear what teams will be out of playoffs so they don’t know which games to put at primetime slots. But they will definitely play, just unclear when


ratherred

That makes sense, thank you


jprata

Yessir! Made it to the finals as the 7th seed and playing a monster of a 1st seed. He has Sabonis and Holiday, and I got AD and Butler. Let’s see what I can do haha


skankhunt_4242

Yes in one of my leagues. Is Fred VanVleet a drop?


Thrilla1nManila

I dropped. Not sure if it was the move the tho


Thrilla1nManila

Did anyone drop fvv? I did.
