The Cavaliers all saw their minutes drop in a season where blowout wins were the norm, but with Darius Garland likely out to begin 2025 and more competitive games (perhaps) on the docket, could the fantasy numbers for the main players go up?

Josh Giddey finished last year as a top-5 player over the season's final 20 games. Coby White was inside the top-40. Matas Buzelis nuzzled up against the top-50. Is any of this sustainable over a new, fresh, full season?

Cade made the big leap last season, jumping into the top-30 in 9-cat and the 1st round in 8-cat. But where is the right spot to draft the young star next year?

CJ McCollum... tank commander? It's hard to say. But one thing we know is that most of the Wizards regulars struggle to hit shots, free throws, or both, and that makes for a tough 9-category recipe.

Tyler Herro made a massive leap into the upper echelons of fantasy hoops last season. Can he do it again? Can Bam Adebayo continue his career path of durability in the face of so many pitfalls?

The Hornets look bad on paper once again, but health may still be the biggest factor for the most interesting players on the club. Will Dan draft any of them?

Franz Wagner had a run of top-5 production last year, but it largely occurred while Paolo Banchero was out. Now, the Magic have added Desmond Bane and come into the season healthy. Is this a potential over-draft land mine team?

Jalen Johnson was a top-10 player after his free throws started dropping last year. Can he get right back at it this season, and more importantly, can he last a full year healthy?

The Pelicans didn't have a regular rotation player crack 55 games last year besides rookie center Yves Missi. Can we trust them to stay healthy this year? Is it worth stashing Dejounte Murray?

We saw the signs late last year: Zach Edey is ready to bust loose. Is this the year and how high should we draft him? Plus, who takes over for the traded Desmond Bane?

Anthony Davis is, annually, a top-5 player in fantasy basketball... but only when he's on the floor. Can we justify drafting him early again after another season with 30 games missed?

Castle made waves last year with some sweet numbers down the stretch, but are the efficiency issues too much to overcome in 9-cat leagues in his second year?

Kevin Durant's move to the Rockets elevates the ceiling for one of the league's best defensive teams, and he might just need to do even more on offense than he did before. Can Kevin get back inside fantasy's top 5?

Arguably the most annoying team in the NBA last year, the Utah Jazz dumped their veterans and should be at least a fraction less obnoxious this year. But with TANK still flashing brightly, is anyone trustworthy?

Perhaps no one noticed, but Jamal Murray was #11 in fantasy basketball over the final 35 games last year. Does he warrant consideration near those spots or has a missed game issue become too large of a deal to ignore?

By totals, SGA was the top of the heap in 9-cat! By averages, he was still top-2. Is he potentially worth drafting first, or should we be reasonable and sit him in that 3 spot?
