NBA depth charts for fantasy basketball
See who starts and who comes off the bench for every NBA team, position by position, so you know whose minutes go up when a starter gets hurt.
Each team's page puts its starting five on a half court - point guard up top, the wings either side, the bigs near the basket - and lists the bench beside it by position. A bench player's number is his place on the chart: 2 is the first backup at that position.
Many bench players cover two positions - a combo guard backs up both PG and SG. Such a player is listed under each position he plays, so every position shows who really comes in behind its starter. The five starters are listed once, at their starting position.
OUT and DTD badges show ESPN's injury status, refreshed through the day. With a league connected, each player is tagged with the fantasy team that has him, so a backup who is still a free agent stands out.
They start from ESPN's depth charts, loaded every day, and are corrected by hand when a team's real rotation differs - after a trade, an injury or a coach's change.
Type his name in the search on the Depth Charts page. It finds starters and bench players alike and shows only the teams he could be on.
It narrows the page to the teams with a game today, which is when a depth chart matters most for setting a lineup or picking up a streamer.
