This is THE list of Fantasy Basketball keepers to have from here until the end of your season. I use a standard 8 category scoring system (TOs not included), so if you play in a league with different scoring criteria make personal adjustments for your own format. The standings will change weekly as players get hot and cold, injures change the scene, and most importantly the schedule as the season winds down. I encourage you to use this guide to make shrewd trades and free agency moves to solidify your position in the playoffs or build for “next year.”
It’s important to remember this is just an assessment of their value at this moment in time. So I’m not telling you to trade a young Derrick Rose (#81) for a Vince Carter just because he’s #33 on the board. You need to balance the now with the future, and know what direction your team is going in: Are you the young Thunder or Blazers building a force for the future? Or are you the Celtics trying to get another trophy before the sunset?
