Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I get started with fantasy basketball? A: Getting started is easy! Download our app, create an account, and you’ll be guided through the process of building your first team. We provide helpful tutorials and tips for newcomers to ensure you have the best possible start.
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: 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 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.
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 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.
