Frequently Asked Questions
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: How do I join public leagues? A: Public leagues are open to everyone. You can join global leagues, regional competitions, or special event leagues through the ‘Leagues’ section of the app.
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 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 is the best strategy for selecting players? A: Focus on players who consistently perform well, consider upcoming matchups, and maintain a balanced squad. It’s important to look at form, minutes played, and value for money when making selections. Pay attention to back-to-back games and player usage rates.
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: Can I make changes to my team after the season starts? A: Yes! You can make transfers throughout the season, subject to your league’s rules. Most formats give you a certain number of free transfers per day, with additional transfers costing points. Daily lineup changes are also possible.
Q: How does the scoring system work? A: Players earn points based on their real-life performance. Points scored, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and other actions earn positive points, while turnovers and personal fouls result in negative points. Check our detailed scoring guide for a complete breakdown.
