We're Called Heating Up Now
Same league, same eight of us, new name. B-Ball Banter & Beyond is retired. This is Heating Up now.
This is a companion to the league, not the league. The draft, trades, waivers, lineups and every matchup still run through Sleeper, exactly like always. Nothing on this site changes how you play, and nothing you do here counts against your record.
What lives here is the part Sleeper does not do. Side games on their own scoreboard, a record book that keeps itself, Bulls coverage, and the league's own numbers going back to 2023.
One thing still needs you before tip-off. On the Record, in your locker: five takes and five ballot picks, sealed the moment you submit and let out a couple at a time between opening night and March. Closes October 20. Takes two minutes. The rest of the site is yours to wander.

The baseline
I built this off the standard platforms. ESPN's default points league rewards made shots and penalizes missed ones, and that is where our shooting values come from. Yahoo and FanDuel both use 3 for steals and 3 for blocks, which is exactly what we use. DraftKings uses double-double and triple-double bonuses, which is where ours came from. If you have played an ESPN or Yahoo points league, this will feel familiar.
The numbers
Points 1. Field goals made +3, attempted -1.5. Threes made +1.5 on top. Free throws made +1.4, attempted -1.2. Rebounds 1, with an extra 0.5 for offensive boards. Assists 1.75. Steals 3, blocks 3. Turnovers -1.5, personal fouls -0.5. Double-double +2, triple-double +4. Bonuses of +5 for 40 points, 50 points, 15 assists, or 20 rebounds.
How close is that to normal?
Very close. At league-average shooting, a two-point attempt is worth 1.20 here and 1.16 in an ESPN league. Rebounds are identical. Steals and blocks match Yahoo and FanDuel exactly. Assists and turnovers sit a touch below ESPN.
The only real difference is that missing shots costs slightly more than on ESPN. You need 30% on twos or 20% on threes to break even, which every rotation player clears without trying. Twos and threes are worth the same per attempt on purpose, so nobody is forced into a three-heavy build.
