Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do private leagues work? A: Private leagues allow you to compete against friends or colleagues. You can create your own league with custom settings, invite specific players, and even set up mini-leagues within your main competition.
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: 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: 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: 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.
