How To Play Basketball Fantasy
Easy steps to get started and compete
Draft Your Team
Select 8-10 players within a fixed salary cap. Your roster must include guards, forwards, and centers, with limitations on how many players you can select from the same real-life team.
Select a Captain
Choose one player as your team captain who will earn 1.5x the regular points. This decision can significantly impact your team's performance.
Join Contests
Enter your team into various leagues and tournaments. Follow live scores as your players compete in real games.
Earn Points
Accumulate points based on your players' real-game statistics including points scored, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and other basketball actions.
Basketball Fantasy Strategy Tips
Enhance your game with these expert insights
Player Minutes & Usage
Players who get more minutes on the court have more opportunities to accumulate statistics. Similarly, players with high usage rates (the percentage of team plays involving that player) typically offer more fantasy value.
- Prioritize players who consistently play 30+ minutes per game
- Look for players with usage rates above 25%
- Consider players who contribute across multiple statistical categories
Matchup Analysis
The defensive strength of the opposing team plays a crucial role in a player's potential performance. Teams with weak defense against specific positions can provide favorable matchups for your players.
- Research opponent's defensive efficiency ratings by position
- Look for teams that allow high fantasy points to specific positions
- Consider pace of play - faster-paced games typically produce more fantasy points
- Check for individual defensive matchups that might favor your players
Balanced Roster Construction
Building a balanced team that accumulates points across different statistical categories provides consistency and a higher floor for your fantasy performance.
- Include scorers, rebounders, and playmakers in your roster
- Don't overlook defensive specialists who accumulate steals and blocks
- Consider players' efficiency - high field goal percentage and low turnovers
- Balance high-ceiling players with consistent performers
