Here are the probable starters and backups for all 30 teams. This is provided to help you with draft prep, going deep enough for any 20-team league.
We list the ten players on each team expected to receive the most minutes. It’s a work in progress, to be updated often throughout the season as injuries occur and roles change.
Not included are a few injured players expected to miss a great deal of time. For example, Andrew Bynum. [Square brackets] indicate an injured player who could return soon enough to maintain his fantasy value. *Asterisks denote rookies; note that very few are projected for starting jobs.
This format also prevents us from listing “third-stringers” who could have fantasy value, like Nate Robinson. We take a few liberties with positions, as many leagues have more PF-C eligible players and SG-SF than those who qualify at only one spot.
Each player’s name links to his page in our Scores & Stats section. The three-letter team abbreviations link to their rosters and clicking on any small icon will open up the corresponding Team Page.
