Ok, so I am completely confused as to how the Fantasy Basketball is played. It's obviously completely different than the football. Can someone please tell me how this works? I don't see when the scoring happens, who's actually playing at the time, what the player adds are......just so confused. Do all the player's games get counted for the week? 

There are NINE (9) scoring categories each week and you recieve a win or loss for EACH of these 9 categories, so each week you recieve a total of 9 wins/losses.

The categories are (as they appear in the league):

FG %    (feild goal, or shooting %) 
FT%     (free throw %)
3PTM    (3 point shots made)
PTS      (points scored)
REB      (rebounds)
AST      (assists)
ST        (steals)
BLK      (blocked shots)
TO        (turnovers, the only category you want to be lower in)

These stats are accumulative of all your players in your starting lineup for each day they played (players that are on your bench do not count, however you can rotate players off and on your bench for different days of the week within that one matchup and the games they were in your starting lineup will count)

Generaly each person on your team should play around 3 or 4 games (give or take) during any given week and as long as they are in your starting lineup for those games, each game counts.

You get a MAX of 4 adds off the free agency/wavier wire during EACH week. This is to pick up players if you feel you need extra scoring for a category and dont have alot of players in a game for a particular day. (or of course to try to snag a good player like on fantasy football)

I recomend setting your lineup weekly rather then daily, as its alot more work then fantasy football. By that I mean for example log in on monday (the first day of the weeks matchup) and set your lineup, then click tuesday and set it again, then click wendsday, ect ect.

To try to see when the scoring happens, click the day of the week it is on the matchup page (for example today you would click Sunday) and it will show you the current live scoring for all of your players so far. (before you click on the specific day, it will just show matchup totals so far for the entire week)


Hope that helps some.. I probably did not explain as good as it could have been.. it is more confusing then fantasy football.

Awesome!! Thanks!! This helps a lot. I just needed some basic pointers to get me started because when I first looked at it, I was like.....what is this....lol. I couldn't find any explanation on yahoo sports about how it worked.
