2021 NBA Projections on RotoValue
I’ve released RotoValue 2021 NBA individual projections. RotoValue projections take into account a player’s NBA statistics, age, position, and their depth chart position (if any) to predict statistics totals. The model regresses all players to a per-position league average, so centers will tend to have more blocks, and point guards more assists, than other players.… Continue reading 2021 NBA Projections on RotoValue
Professional Standings Now Available on RotoValue
RotoValue now also shows professional standings for both MLB and NBA. And, like the fantasy standings pages, you can customize them to any date range you like. So if you want to see how your team has done since a particular date, or over the past month, or since they called up Gleyber Torres or Ronald Acuna,… Continue reading Professional Standings Now Available on RotoValue
RV Current for NBA
Similar to what I’ve done with baseball, I’m now running new projections daily for NBA players under the name RV Current. These projections add current year data into the model, increasing the weight given to the current season as more games are played. This early in the season, the numbers aren’t much different from my… Continue reading RV Current for NBA
Tracking Injuries…
I’ve just rolled out some enhancements to RotoValue’s handling of injury reports. Now in addition to displaying reports, and highlighting the injury on player searches, I’ve added a new field, called Target Return:
2015 NBA Projections Take 1
I’ve run the first version of my 2015 NBA Stat projections. There are two versions, RotoValue and AdjRotoValue. My model starts with a weighted average of recent performance, adds regression to a per-position mean, and applies an aging adjustment (very young players will, other things being equal, tend to improve, while older ones will tend… Continue reading 2015 NBA Projections Take 1
RotoValue Now Uses RotoWire Player News
The player news and analysis notes shown on RotoValue now come from RotoWire instead of RotoWorld. My feed provider for news, XML Team Solutions, contacted me Friday to let me know they had lost the ability to send RotoWorld data, but were now sending RotoWire instead. The RotoWorld data stopped coming in on Thursday, July… Continue reading RotoValue Now Uses RotoWire Player News
Hedging Your Bets on the Nets?
On Monday, Nate Silver looked at the odds of winning a second-round playoff series after going 7 games to win the first round, and found that your chances to win go down: Original SRS odds: Miami 88 percent to win the series. Modified SRS odds: Miami 95 percent to win the series. Miami swept its… Continue reading Hedging Your Bets on the Nets?
Initial 2014 NBA Projections – Lillard Stands Out
I’ve completed the first cut NBA projections for 2013-2014, and was surprised to see second-year Blazers point guard Damian Lillard rank 4th in overall RotoValue for both an 8 category and 9 category format. Last year’s rookie of the year was a good player, but not even in the top 20 overall last season. So why is he… Continue reading Initial 2014 NBA Projections – Lillard Stands Out
Fantasy Basketball Mid-Season Awards
Fantasy MVP: Kevin Durant This one is clear. In both my long-time NBA league and the 8 and 9 category format, Durant holds a small, but clear, edge over LeBron James. James may have a ring, but Durant helps a fantasy team more. In cumulative categories they’re closely matched – James gets a lot more… Continue reading Fantasy Basketball Mid-Season Awards
