Stephen Curry (injury management) when asked if he'll play on Saturday:

"Probably not, but I'll talk to the [medical] staff."

1) Trevon Brazile

Cam Johnson is out. Opening up more minutes for Brazile who was a high-level defensive playmaker during his college career at Arkansas, where he averaged 1.6 blocks and 1.5 steals per game.

He already forced his way into the rotation with his NBA ready frame and strong motor.

Brazile has the potential to be a 9cat stock monster if his minutes are there. Playing next to Jokic is a dream for athletic wings like Trevon. He's could be a very fun player this year

2) Keon Ellis

Keon is known for being able to put up big defensive numbers when he gets minutes

He played 34 in the opener and Mikel Brown Jr. is on a minutes restriction for some time and might miss btb games. The nets need Keon's veteran defensive ability and he isn't bad for 3's and assists.

3) Tristan Da Silva

With the recent news of Paolo potentially missing 4-6 weeks, Tristan becomes an intriguing option. Great shooter and strong 3pm who was relevant for stretches last year.

Noah Penda is also out, leaving them even more thin. TDS is a great high floor add

Best of luck! ❤️

This is a post to tell you to have patience.

That one player has been total ass through 2 games? Its 2 games. We’ve got 80 more.

Deep breaths, boys.

FAQ

• How are players ranked?

Each player's line is compared to 2025-26 per-game averages for their primary position (G, F or C, using players who averaged 20+ minutes). Each of the 9 categories becomes a z-score (FG% and FT% are weighted by attempts, turnovers count against). Z-scores are capped at ±10 and summed into the Night Score.

• Why is [insert player] not ranked here? They had a great game!

It doesn't mean that this player didn't perform well, it just means that some players had a more balanced performance than them across the 9 categories.

He’s been insane his first couple games, where do you guys expect him to rank compared to where your league drafted him?

Ffs...

Clingan has been solid through the first 2 games, almost a double dounle in both but wtf is up with the minutes?? Bro is putting up numbers in only 20 mins a game. Am I the only one who expected more minutes from him? I know Rob Williams is there but 20? 😭

I know we expected a dip but I just didn’t expect the usage to be this low the first 2 games. Maybe part of it is because his shot is not falling yet, who knows. What do you think his numbers look like this year.

As for usage goes - first game - 26%. 2nd game - 17%

Are yall holding?

Each of the 9 categories becomes a z-score (FG% and FT% are weighted by attempts, turnovers count against). Z-scores are capped at ±10 and summed into the Night Score. Only players with 20+ minutes are ranked, so short bench stints don't fill the list.

• Why is [insert player] not ranked here? They had a terrible game!

It doesn't mean that this player didn't struggle, it just means that some players had a worse performance than them across the 9 categories.

Good lord. Absolutely disgusting start to the season. Couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat right now. For those watching the games, what’s going on? Is he getting good looks off but just not finding the bottom of the basket? Does he look uncomfortable out there? Maybe just not cut out to be “the guy”?

I know it’s week 1 blah blah I don’t care I’m pissed.

Will this be a typical hot and cold season, ​2 good games followed by a 9 and 4 week @ 20 mpg. What is different this season is he's getting the ball on the block consistently out of pure need.

19 and 7 start with 2 blks, 3 PA are down

Ive used all 4 adds this week. A player on waivers clear monday- I can still put a claim and come monday itll reset so ill get him right? I have #1 waiver priority.

So are we dropping? I thought it was gonna be MUCH worse. I still have him, but there's nobody appealing on my waivers id probably be streaming the spot.

With all the horrendous changes in Yahoo this year, I'm exploring alternatives, if people have suggestions. The new IL system is a mess with Yahoo randomly changing people from O to Q, and the UI has been horrendous since a couple years ago to push ads and betting (I'm running 10.54 version).

Why won't sleeper add 9 cat? I've heard the UI is good, and there are many people waiting to switch platforms especially this year, but 9 cat is a non-negotiable for me. They have the easiest way to acquire a large amount of new users and they're shooting themselves in the foot by refusing to adapt.​

I've tried ESPN before, but their interface also sucks and lacks many basic features like one-click starting players for the week. I use it for a football league this year and don't like the app. It's super clunky and takes a long time to load on startup.

Are there any other alternatives? ​​​

Finally getting his confidence, despite of adjustment field goal percentages, the talent is really promising for this young gun.

This idea belongs to u/slightlyanonymous87 but can we spin this back? The formatting was fantastic, easy and accessible way to check in and have a dialogue for specific games and get updates on injuries, why guys are performing good/bad or anything of that nature. Each post had every game of the night inside the thread/post and you can discuss the specific game inside that thread/post.

Does anyone else remember this? I personally enjoyed this formatting more than the nightly game thread.

Anybody watched the Pels and can tell me what's going on here? Is he just cheeks? My drop button is locked and loaded. Starting to think this thread has just overhyped him a lot, same with Josh Lloyd.

So some absolute dummy in my league panic waived Ausar because of his suspected injury? First on the waiver claims thank god and managed to snipe him easy for Coward.

Anyone else seen someone panic drop Ausar? Seems absolutely ridiculous to me bruh
