In this episode of the Good word with good willYahoo Sports Senior NBA Reporter Vincent Goodwill sits down with Yahoo Sports fantasy basketball expert Dan Titus for a full preview of the 2024-25 NBA season.
The guys start off by talking about Victor Wembanyama, who Dan says has surpassed Nikola Jokic as the number one overall pick in fantasy basketball drafts, and then they talk about some rising fantasy stars and a couple of veterans worth drafting in your league.
There are a handful of injury-prone players who made headlines this past week, whether it was with injury reports (Mitchell Robinson), surgeries (Kawhi Leonard) or contract extensions (Joel Embiid). And there are always those Ben Simmons summer gym vlogs. Vinnie and Dan go through each one and say whether they would “buy” or “sell” that player heading into fantasy basketball season.
Last year, the top preseason championship contenders all failed to make the playoffs, so the guys look at this year’s preseason odds and try to determine which teams will make it to their conference championship and which ones won’t. Is everyone getting wary of the Thunder? Is it time to stop thinking of the Warriors as contenders?
We have everything you need to get ready for the NBA season and your fantasy basketball season in this episode!
