Fantasy Basketball

How to Play

Fantasy Basketball puts you in the General Manager's chair. You draft a team of real NBA players who compete in actual games. Your team earns points based on their on-court performance: points scored, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, turnovers, and shooting percentages. The goal is to assemble the best possible squad within a salary cap or via auction draft, using your basketball knowledge. Manage your roster weekly, make trades, and grab players off the waiver wire to maximize your points and climb the leaderboard!

Master the Fantasy Draft

The fantasy basketball season begins with the draft – your chance to lay the foundation for victory. Understand player values, whether in an auction or snake format. Identify sleepers, avoid busts, and build a balanced roster targeting specific statistical categories or overall point potential. Research is crucial: study rankings, mock drafts, and player news to gain an edge and construct a team poised for greatness from day one.

Conquer the Regular Season

Drafting is just the start. Winning a fantasy basketball championship requires constant vigilance throughout the season. Scour the waiver wire for emerging talent and injury replacements. Negotiate shrewd trades to address team weaknesses. Optimize your daily or weekly lineups based on matchups and player availability. Staying active, reacting to news, and making smart in-season moves are key to navigating the long NBA grind and reaching the playoffs.

Find Your Perfect League

Fantasy basketball isn't one-size-fits-all. Choose the format that suits your style! Compete in Head-to-Head leagues for weekly victories based on categories or total points. Opt for Rotisserie (Roto) leagues where season-long cumulative stats determine the winner. Prefer simplicity? Points leagues assign a fantasy value to each stat. For long-term strategists, Dynasty and Keeper leagues let you build a team over multiple seasons. Pick your game and dive in!
