Q: What is the captain system? A: Your captain earns double points for their performance. Choose your captain wisely each day, considering matchups, form, and potential for high-scoring games. The captain choice can make or break your daily performance.
Q: How do price changes work? A: Player prices fluctuate based on transfer activity and performance. Popular players’ prices rise as more managers buy them, while less popular players’ prices fall. Understanding these changes is key to building team value.
Q: What are the key statistics to watch in fantasy basketball? A: Key statistics include points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, field goal percentage, free throw percentage, and three-pointers made. Different leagues may emphasize different stats, so check your league settings.
Q: What happens if my player gets injured? A: If a player is injured, you can transfer them out or keep them on your bench until they return. We provide regular injury updates to help you make informed decisions. Pay special attention to injury reports before daily games.
Q: What’s the difference between Daily and Season-Long leagues? A: Daily leagues reset each day, allowing you to build a new team for each slate of games. Season-Long leagues run for the entire NBA season, testing your long-term strategy and team management skills.
Q: How do back-to-back games affect player performance? A: Back-to-back games can impact player performance and minutes. Some teams may rest star players, while others might limit minutes. Monitor team schedules and rotation patterns to make informed decisions.
Q: How do private leagues work? A: Private leagues allow you to compete against friends or colleagues. You can create your own league with custom settings, invite specific players, and even set up mini-leagues within your main competition.
Q: What is the best strategy for selecting players? A: Focus on players who consistently perform well, consider upcoming matchups, and maintain a balanced squad.
