With the release of the NBA regular season schedule, it’s time to start hitting the best ball fantasy basketball lobbies. The ADP at this point of the offseason is in flux with the field still yet to calm down from the volatility that comes with the first month of drafting. Underdog’s main NBA contest last season overlayed heavily, so they’ve downsized a bit and released two big GPPs in mid-July. The “Double-Dribble” is a $25 entry tournament with a $200k prize pool and the more modestly priced “Small Ball” is a $5 entry tournament with a $100k prize pool.

As to be expected, the NBA drafts are filling slower than NFL at the moment, but we should expect to the pace pick up once the NFL regular season starts and the attention of the userbase shifts to hoops. 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 each 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).
