It can take guts to draft from the predicted list produced from this tool, but maybe it helps show you a dark-horse pick you would otherwise overlook? Who knows. It's fun! And free!

More Information

Predict the winner and number of games for each series. Then, using your projected number of games played, and the player's regular season scoring percentages, we'll show you who you think is the most valuable to draft in the playoffs.

The more accurately you predict the winners, the better your player list will be.
