Daily lineup help
Fill every guard, forward, centre and utility seat with the best legal lineup for the players who actually tip off.
ESPN fantasy basketball assistant
Make the next fantasy basketball decision with evidence.
Playcaller turns your ESPN head-to-head points league into clear daily lineup recommendations, matchup forecasts, the week’s schedule edge, waiver targets, and a record of what actually worked.
Fantasy basketball tools built around your real league
Generic rankings miss the details that matter in a points league. Playcaller reads your league’s scoring, roster slots, available players, lineup lock, and current matchup before it makes a call.
The schedule edge
Clubs play an uneven number of games each week, so a free agent with four can outscore a better player with two.
Matchup forecasts
See a projected final score and honest win probability so you know whether to favor floor or upside.
Draft room
Scarcity-aware draft calls from consensus ranks, market ADP, and your league’s real roster shape.
Waiver watch
Evidence-backed waiver targets without chasing roster-percentage noise alone.
Results you can audit
Compare Playcaller’s recommended lineup with the one you set, scored afterward from official box scores.
Honest by design
An optimizer should admit uncertainty.
Playcaller blends multiple inputs, uses availability as an eligibility signal rather than inventing injury adjustments, and labels close decisions as coin flips. Back-to-backs are shown as rest risk, never quietly deducted from a projection. Recommendations are recorded before results are known and graded afterward.
Current compatibility
Focused support, not vague promises.
The public beta supports ESPN NBA head-to-head points leagues with daily or weekly lineup locks. Roto and category formats are not currently supported because points advice should never be presented as if it applies to a different scoring system.
