2024-25 Underdog Fantasy Basketball Rankings

NBA best ball drafts are in full swing with the regular season tipping off in less than a week.

Underdog has once again changed the format of this year’s main $15 entry “Double Dribble” tournament. For this season, they’ll put the entire prize pool back into the playoff round, doing away with the “double” payout structure they had last year. While I don’t think they’ve yet perfected the NBA best ball tournament structure, I do prefer this to what we had last year. For more discussion, tune in to the FTN Fantasy YouTube channel every Friday at 1 p.m. ET between now and the beginning of the NBA regular season for a livestreamed “Double Dribble” draft. I will also discuss draft strategy in my “Best Ball Diary” articles for FTN Fantasy subscribers.

Haven’t signed up for Underdog Fantasy yet? There’s no better time to join than now. You can use the promo code “FTN” and sign up for a 100% deposit match bonus up to $1,000 and jump start your draft season today.

Below are my top 200 Underdog NBA best ball rankings. Keep in mind that Underdog uses three positions, guards, wings and bigs. Each week of the regular season and the playoff round, your top scoring two guards and wings will count compared to just one big and one flex (top score of the remaining players on your roster).
