Our experts’ favorite players to roster this

We are already into Week 5 of the NBA season, and that’s enough time for certain players to endear themselves to fantasy managers with their standout efforts and sheer entertainment on the court.

So who are our experts’ favorite players to roster on their fantasy teams this season?

Here are André Snellings, Eric Moody, Eric Karabell, Jim McCormick and John Cregan to explain their picks.

Hart doesn’t shoot perhaps as much as we would like thanks to the team’s high-powered backcourt, but it’s so valuable when a swingman contributes so many rebounds and assists. Hart scoring less than 9 PPG may be a source of whining for some, but he has nearly as many rebounds as points. Accentuate the positive! Also, I love the 4.4 APG in my leagues because, again, this is not a point guard. It’s a SG/SF! No SG- or SF-eligible player averages more rebounds. Expect Hart to start looking for his offensive game a bit more and get his scoring into the double-digits soon. — Karabell

Doncic is great for both category and points leagues. He has averaged 34.4 PPG, 8.8 RPG, 7.8 APG, 2.1 SPG and 0.6 BPG this season. That translates to 62.7 fantasy points per game. For a Mavericks team that is still trying to replace Jalen Brunson, Doncic has a usage rate of 38.8%. His personality also makes him entertaining to watch on and off the court. — Moody

My bold prediction ahead of last season was that Anunoby would emerge as an elite 3-and-D fantasy force. While he was awesome last season, he wasn’t among the top values of the year in a fantasy context. This year has been far more fun if for his historic steal rate. After all, Anunoby leads the league in swipes and is currently averaging 1.8 3-pointers, 2.7 steals, and one block per game. Steals are often a scarce stat, but…
