Understanding the Game Format
Fantasy basketball offers multiple scoring formats, including Points, Head-to-Head, and Roto. Here’s a breakdown:
Head-to-Head: Compete weekly against another manager by comparing stats in categories like points, rebounds, and assists. Winning more categories earns you the matchup.
Points: Score based on player performances, with preset values assigned to stats like +2 for a made basket or +5 for a block.
Roto: Teams earn points based on their rankings in each statistical category. The highest cumulative score wins the league.
