Key Fantasy Basketball Players to Watch in the Atlantic Division

The Atlantic division of the Eastern Conference is filled with talent as the NBA season nears. The Knicks are the reigning champions, while the 76ers have a strong starting lineup. The Raptors welcome back Kawhi Leonard, the Celtics remain competitive, and the Nets show improvement from last year.

As the season approaches, several players from each team are being spotlighted for fantasy basketball drafts. Payton Pritchard of the Celtics is expected to step up in the absence of Jaylen Brown, potentially increasing his scoring and assist numbers. Brooklyn's Egor Demin, selected eighth overall last year, is anticipated to enhance his role as a shooter and playmaker alongside established stars.

Josh Hart, a key contributor to the Knicks' championship run, continues to be an undervalued fantasy asset. Meanwhile, the 76ers' rookie, Edgecombe, is projected to take on more responsibilities due to injury concerns surrounding LeBron James and Joel Embiid. Lastly, Toronto's Collin Murray-Boyles is noted for his strong playoff performance and could secure a starting position as he develops further.
