For fantasy basketball managers checking back in after the 2026 NBA offseason, there’s a lot to catch up on.
And, frankly, not a ton of time to do it with preseason games already underway and the actual season tipping off on Tuesday, Oct. 20.
There is, frankly, far too much to detail here, but the early-round bullet points include Giannis Antetokounmpo’s move to the Miami Heat, the Philadelphia 76ers’ additions of Jaylen Brown and LeBron James, or the surprise moves involving LaMelo Ball (to the Minnesota Timberwolves) and Ja Morant (to the Portland Trail Blazers).
While you’ll hopefully get up to speed quickly, this can help serve as a mini cram session with a simulated mock first round, the biggest debates within those picks and finally a batch of team names that might help take that task off your to-do list.
