Locked On Fantasy Basketball – Daily NBA Fantasy Basketball Podcast

Fantasy basketball fortunes swing on category leaders and unpredictable stat drops - are you overvaluing last year’s stars? Josh Lloyd breaks down seismic shifts in NBA statistical categories, exposing how players like Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Anthony Edwards gained or lost ground in points, rebounds, assists, and defensive stats. Surprising names like Jaylen Brown and Tyrese Maxey crack the top five scorers, but can they keep it up? Key metrics like steals, blocks, and free throw percentage show extreme volatility—will draft strategies need a revamp?

Explore how the likes of Nikola Jokic, Domantas Sabonis, and Mitchell Robinson impact fantasy rosters, and why punt strategies may now be even more viable with rule changes on the horizon. Lloyd pinpoints positional trends, year-over-year regression, and why relying on last season’s rankings is riskier than it seems. Which trending players should you target, or avoid, heading into NBA draft season?
