Download the app

Select a league and game format

• After registering, choose which league you want to join: public (open to everyone) or private (created by a friend or a group of players).
• Choose a game format: standard, expert, or tournament.
• Review the league rules and format (e.g. number of players per team, season length, point system).
• Join the league of your choice.

Create your team

• Build your team from available NBA players.
• In fantasy basketball, it is important to allocate your budget wisely: you have a fixed amount of money to buy players.
• Divide the budget between stars and underrated players who can bring unexpected points.
• Select players for key positions: guards, forwards, centers. Remember that you need to fill each position.

Analyze player stats

• Before selecting players, analyze their current stats. Estimate how many points, rebounds, assists, and blocks they score.
• Use statistics from the past weeks or months to understand the players’ current form.
• Check players’ injury records, as injuries can impact their playing time and effectiveness.
• Review players’ game schedules to consider their availability.

Picking a Starting Lineup

• Place your selected players in the starting lineup based on their position and current form.
• Think about the balance between offense and defense: select a few players who can consistently score points and guards who can block shots and earn extra points.
• Make sure you have backup players in case of injuries or poor form.
• Make sure you have enough players at each position to cover all games.

Evaluate and Replace Players

• Throughout the season, track players’ statistics and evaluate their performance.
• If one of your players is in poor form or injured, replace him with a more effective one.
• Keep an eye on new players who can become stars or replace injured leaders.
• Monitor NBA news regularly to stay up to date with all changes and trends.

Keep an eye on transfers and updates

• Fantasy basketball requires constant attention to transfers and roster changes.
• Injury and roster updates are key. For example, if an important player on your roster misses a few games due to injury, find a replacement.
• Keep an eye on new players who may suddenly start or provide more points.

Play games and watch the results

• Once your team is assembled, enjoy the games. Watch the games to understand how your players affect the final result.
• Every game and every action of the players (points, rebounds, assists) will affect the overall points of your team.
• Compete with other participants in the league and watch your progress. The more points your team earns, the higher your rating.

Updating your roster during the season

• During the season, it is important to make timely changes to your roster. Depending on the results of the games and injuries, update your team.
• If you have players who are not performing up to expectations, sell them and buy better players.
• It is important to watch for trends, such as if a player is getting back into shape after a long layoff or injury.

Evaluate the season and improve your strategy

• At the end of the season, analyze what worked and what didn’t. Evaluate your player selections and your overall strategy.
• Learn from your mistakes to improve your tactics for the next season.
• Use what you learned to be even more successful in the next fantasy basketball season.
