NBA Opening Night is set for Oct. 18, which means Fantasy Basketball season is right around the corner.
There's plenty of talent available at the top of draft boards, headlined by back-to-back MVP Nikola Jokic, who has been a fantasy monster over his impressive two-year stretch.
After Jokic, you could take your team in a number of directions with superstars like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic, Joel Embiid, Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry each bringing something different to the table. The talent doesn't fall off there, with stars like Jayson Tatum, Trae Young and Karl-Anthony Towns poised to continue building on their emerging careers.
Just a few weeks into the Fantasy Football season, Fantasy Basketball always sneaks up quickly, but we're here to provide you with all of the coverage you need to prepare for your draft.
