Rotational Dance: NBA Atlantic Division Projected Playing Time

With preseason only weeks away, rosters are beginning to take shape across the league, thus beginning the rotational dance. Player roles and NBA playing time can be crucial when deciding on who to draft. Moving onto the Atlantic Division, I work through the projected starting lineups for every team. Moving to the bench players, I outline my projected playing time for each player, as well their likely ADP’s. Starters are typically going to have more value than the role players. However, a number of bench guys should still have value across most standard formats.

Keep in mind, this is where I have seen players going in mock drafts. The numbers do not necessarily reflect where I might have certain players ranked overall. For that, you can check out my 2019-20 Fantasy Basketball Rankings!


What?! You didn’t host last year’s fantasy basketball league on Fantrax? Inconceivable!! Check out all the features of Fantrax Fantasy Basketball Commissioner and we’re pretty sure you’ll come around to our way of thinking.
