A points league and a category league can need different moves. Bring your NBA roster into Draft Guru to weigh lineup choices, streaming opportunities and trades against the way you score.
In points leagues, compare your scoring weights and usable starts. In category leagues, ask which stats you need and what you risk elsewhere, including percentages and turnovers. Explore lineup advice
Make the next stream count
Consider games remaining, open lineup slots, eligibility and the cost of using an add. Tell Guru about transaction limits and daily or weekly locks that are missing from your settings. Plan a streaming pickup
Trade for roster balance
Compare the outgoing and incoming production against your roster needs. Ask about the categories a deal improves, the weaknesses it creates and the depth you give up. Evaluate a basketball trade
Start with the way you score.
Points: use your league’s weights
Points, rebounds, assists and other stats contribute according to your league’s formula. Review the imported weights, including negative values such as turnovers. A generic fantasy-point total may not match your league.
Categories: look across the stat line
More scoring or rebounding may come with a percentage or turnover tradeoff. Specify head-to-head or rotisserie, your categories and any deliberate punt strategy. In rotisserie, also consider season totals and games limits instead of treating every question as a weekly matchup.
Your next steps
Plan the week, adjust for the day.
1
Check the scoring and calendar
Review points weights or categories, then check the schedule and your open slots. Separate total games from games that can enter your active lineup.
2
Choose the need for this move
Ask about one decision: a starter, a streaming spot or a trade. Explain the categories you are targeting, your remaining adds and any games-played cap that is not shown.
3
Confirm availability and act
Check the source platform’s latest player status, schedule and locks. Make the move there, then refresh or re-import the Draft Guru copy as supported by your provider before evaluating the next decision.
No connected team yet?
Start with a general question in Guru. For advice with your saved roster and scoring in view, connect your team and select that league. Check its last-sync time and supply recent changes or rules that are missing.
Choose your provider after signing in. These connections read a copy of your league for advice; make your moves on the platform where it plays.
ESPN
Connect NBA points, category or rotisserie leagues and review the imported scoring. For a private ESPN league, use a saved ESPN connection or set one up with the extension on a computer. Manual and optional daily refresh have provider-specific requirements.
Connect a supported points league. Sleeper uses your league link or ID, with manual or optional daily refresh. Fantrax uses a Secret ID and imports rosters and settings, not source matchups or standings. Re-import Fantrax to refresh; automatic refresh is not included.
Suggested prompts. Replace the details with your own situation in Guru.

I have this many adds left. Using the schedule and open slots I provide, which streaming move gives me the most useful starts?
Before you ask
Know what goes into the answer.
Can I connect an NBA category or rotisserie league?
ESPN connections support points, categories and rotisserie; review the imported rules. Sleeper and Fantrax connections currently support points leagues. The category advice on this page does not mean every provider can import a category league.
Does more games always mean a better pickup?
No. A game must fit an eligible active slot and your lineup-lock rules to help. Check availability, add limits, games caps and the value of the player you would drop. In a category league, the extra games also need to help the stats you are pursuing.
Does Guru know every league limit and matchup detail?
Review what was imported and provide anything missing, such as remaining adds, custom categories or a games cap. Fantrax imports currently include rosters and source settings, not source matchups or standings; provide the relevant matchup context when asking.
Where do I make a lineup, waiver or trade move?
For a connected league, make the move on its source platform. For a league hosted on Draft Guru, use its league tools; waiver options are inside the league’s Players tab. Review the deadline and any required drop before confirming.
Can I try Guru for free?
Yes. Start with the Free plan and check its current message and connection allowances. Compare the plans before choosing the tools you need.
