Welcome fellow Fantasy Benchwarmers!

We created created this channel because like you we love to make believe that we are NBA fantasy basketball experts (we are not) and enjoy talking about the game, the players and the experience. In this space we share our experiences, tips, opinions and commentaries about playing the game of fantasy basketball.

We are not claiming that we are experts, so take any of our tips with a little grain of salt.

S04DFQ83 - Lamelo Ball's season is over, is Lebron's season over too? Is SGA being load managed?

S04DFQ83 - Lamelo Ball's season is over, is Lebron's season over too? Is SGA being load managed?

The biggest blow today is the injury on Lamelo Ball - fractured ankle. This probably makes him done for the season (just announced now that he is done). It has been a disappointing year for Lamelo owners as he has only played 36 games this season. If you have Lamelo and your team is in the playoffs, we had some tips on how to survive this loss from your first round pick.

Meanwhile, Lebron James, who also heard something pop the other day, has not been ruled out for the rest of the season. But things are not looking good as well (as I was writing this, he's been given a 2-3 week timeline). Is this the end of road at least for this season for Lebron?

A gamechanger this season, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will miss another game, which puts some "load management" concerns on a lot of fantasy managers' mind. Is he being load managed now? How much can he still help the rest of the season?
