- There are two main types of leagues in Fantasy Basketball. There is a scoring league and there is a head to head league. The difference is a scoring league goes by totals. The head to head league does the same except your teams stats are compared with another teams for one week at a time. Here below will be a break down. The scoring league is based purely off of compiled stats. Let's just say that there are twelve teams in each league. Now for every point, rebound, three pointer, steal, block and turnover that your players get, it will be tracked and totaled. It also consists of your compiled field goal and free throw percentages. If your team is the best in points then you will get 12 points for that category. If you team is third in steals then you will get 10 points for that category. If your team is last in turnovers then you will get 1 point in that category. The object is to do well in as many category's as you can to finish at the top. The head to head league is of the same concept except your team's stats are compared to other team's stats on a week to week basis. Each category that you win in will mark a win in you win column and each loss will mark a loss in your loss column. If you tie then obviously there will be a mark in your tie column. The object is to win as many as you can. For instance, let's say that you lost in two categories, points and field goal percentage, but you won in the rest. Your score for that week would be 7 wins and 2 losses. If you're struggling in a particular area, pick up the guy off waivers who is a) logging more than 24 minutes (half the game) per game, and b) is leading all available players in the category you need. Stick with what you know, guys that have been producing steadily over the last few years - better the devil you know, right? Now go kick some butt! Good luck!
- If head to head...play by statistics rather. if your totally leading in assist and 3 pointers...playing players that are high in those categories doesnt make much sense.
