The NBA is back (well, sort of) and that means that fantasy basketball is back too (almost). Many people will draft in the next two weeks in preparation for the long grind towards fantasy championship glory, and here at HoopsHabit we are ready to help.

For our preseason content, I will be looking at an undervalued player for each team in the NBA who can help you on your quest for fantasy basketball greatness. This week will be the selections from the Eastern Conference and next week we will take a look at the other side of the league.

For the purposes of this piece there are a couple things that need to be laid out on the table prior to diving into the list.

First, the settings that are taken into the most consideration are 12-team, eight-category head-to-head category leagues. The information is still good for other settings, but adjust according based on how you might play the game along with your personal strategies.

Fantasy basketball is a diverse, customizable game, and that is part of the reason it is so fun. However, this also forces us to focus on one set of rules, and head-to-head category leagues are going to get that focus, as they are extremely popular.

Second, I will refer to Average Draft Position (ADP) throughout the piece, and that ADP is taken from the ESPN.com fantasy basketball website (Why ESPN? That is where I host my leagues, and it has free draft lobbies available for those ready to jump in after reading). ADP is important because it shows where players are being taken, the price of the player if you will.

To find value, we look at players who we can grab later in the draft while providing value of players drafted rounds earlier.

Of course, veteran players know this, and those who have played (and succeeded) in fantasy sports know that finding value is a huge part of the equation when it comes to ending the season a champion.

That starts here, with 15 undervalued players from the Eastern Conference.
