The Night Manager

Your lineup,
set while you sleep.

For ESPN Fantasy Basketball managers in the wrong timezone. Queue moves, swap injured players into IR, and wake up to a full lineup.

Get started

Scheduled moves

Bench, start or swap any player at the time you pick — or minutes before tip-off.

Auto IR swaps

Player ruled OUT? Into IR he goes, and a healthy player takes the spot.

Auto-start

Every day, start the players who actually have a game.

Your account stays safe

ESPN codes are encrypted

Your ESPN login codes are encrypted before they're saved and never shown again — not even to you. They're only used to make the moves you set up on your own teams.

Nobody is ever dropped

The Night Manager only moves players between spots on your roster and adds free agents you've chosen. It never drops a player and never makes waiver claims.

You stay in control

Every move is listed in History. Unlink a team any time, and signing out of ESPN or changing your password makes the saved codes stop working.

Why it exists

The Night Manager was designed in Adelaide, Australia, where most NBA games tip off in the middle of the night. It's there to make dealing with the schedule easier: queue the moves you'd otherwise have to make from your phone at 2am, and let them run while you sleep. If something feels off, that's worth hearing about.
