Fantasy Basketball explanation
The ultimate skill-based basketball management experience
Fantasy Basketball is a skill-based game where you create a virtual team of real NBA players. Your team earns points based on the statistical performance of these players in actual NBA games, including points scored, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and more.
As a fantasy basketball manager, your success depends on your ability to analyze player matchups, understand team rotations, and make strategic decisions. It's a test of your basketball knowledge and analytical skills, not luck.

Strategy Tips
Improve your fantasy basketball skills with these expert insights
Consider Minutes Played
Players who get more court time generally have more opportunities to accumulate stats. Look for starters and players who consistently get 30+ minutes per game.
Analyze Matchups
Consider how players perform against specific teams and defensive schemes. Some players excel against certain opponents based on playing style and historical performance.
Monitor Pace of Play
Teams with a faster pace of play tend to generate more possessions, leading to more opportunities for fantasy points. Target players in high-pace matchups.
Look Beyond Scoring
While scorers are valuable, players who contribute across multiple categories (rebounds, assists, steals, blocks) often provide more consistent fantasy value than pure scorers.
Stay Updated on Injuries
Injuries create opportunities for bench players to step up. Be quick to capitalize on role changes due to injuries, as these can provide excellent value picks.
