What is fantasy basketball and how does it work?

Answer:
Fantasy basketball is a game where you build your own virtual team using real basketball players. Each player earns you points based on their real-life game performance — rebounds, assists, points, and more. You compete against other fantasy players, and the highest-scoring team wins prizes.

Here’s How It Works:

  1. Pick basketball players within a set budget
  2. Get points based on real stats
  3. Compete with others and win rewards

What’s the difference between Season-Long-Fantasy and Daily Fantasy Sports Game?

Answer:
Season-long fantasy and Daily Fantasy are two completely different ways to enjoy fantasy sports. Season Long involves drafting a team once and managing it for an entire season, while Daily Fantasy lets you create new lineups every single day with fresh opportunities to win.

Here’s How They Differ:

Season Long Fantasy:

  1. Draft your team once before the season starts
  2. Manage the same roster all season long
  3. Build lasting rivalries with friends in your league
  4. Strategic trades and waiver wire pickups matter

Daily Fantasy Sports:

  1. Create new lineups every day
  2. No long-term commitments required
  3. Instant results and immediate cash prizes
  4. Play multiple sports simultaneously

The choice depends on your style: Season Long is perfect for building friendships and long-term strategy, while Daily Fantasy offers instant action and flexibility for busy schedules.


❓How Are Fantasy Points Calculated?

Answer:
In Daily Fantasy Sports, every stat counts, and they don’t all count the same. That’s what makes the game both strategic and exciting! Whether your player scores a bucket, grabs a rebound, or blocks a shot, each action translates into specific points based on a scoring system.

Take this performance by June Mar Fajardo, for example:
26 points, 15 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 blocks, and only 2 turnovers. That totals to 54.0 fantasy points in one night!

Here’s the breakdown:

  • Points = 1.0 FP
  • Rebounds = 1.2 FP
  • Assists = 1.5 FP
  • Steals and Blocks = 3.0 FP
  • Turnovers = -1.0 FP

Even hustle stats like blocks and steals are heavily rewarded, so it’s not just scorers who shine in fantasy.
