Let's rank the top 25 fantasy basketball players for the 25-26 NBA season. Michael Bolton comes in at number 27.

Thanks, Josh. It's Michael Bolton here, and it's time for another episode of the Locked-on Fantasy Basketball podcast.

Let's get to it. Let's get to it. Indeed.

You are Locked-on Fantasy, your daily NBA Fantasy podcast, part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day.

Hello and welcome to the Locked on Fantasy Basket basketball podcast brought to you by Basketball Monster.

My name is Josh Lloyd and Uncle Dennis is negotiating all of my future contracts.

I'm also the lead fantasy analyst at basketball monster.com and we are here to talk about the season coming up.

So why don't we? Let's talk about it, 25, 26 NBA season for reference, because I know that this show will have people watching it in September. They'll watch it on October the 1st. They'll watch it on October the 19th just before the season starts. And remember, I'm recording this on the 10th of September. There will be things that change between now and then. So if you are watching

this on the 20th of October, ready for the season to begin, just be aware that things may

have changed and I probably do have an updated video somewhere. We're going to talk about

category leagues, head-to-head, roto leagues, which aren't head-to-head, Yahoo Points Leagues,

and ESPN points

leagues, my top 25 players. If you are a member at Basketball Monster, you will say, hey,

how come these numbers, these rankings don't match up the projections you see? It's because

the projections and the rankings that appear on Basketball Monster are based on individual

stat projections that I make.

These numbers that I'm putting here, or these lists that I'm putting here, are a little bit more of me chucking some gut-feel stuff into it.

So that's where the differences come.

You're weighing up risks and upside versus downside, and how do we factor in playoff

availability or things like that, head-to-head nature versus roto nature all that sort of stuff is factored in when i'm doing this

another thing that i'll put out before we do this is that in a in a large portion of this there are

easy arguments to make for so many players to be moved around.
