How to Maximize Points

Pro strategies to build winning lineups

🎯 Target All-Around Players

Players who contribute in multiple categories (points, rebounds, assists, steals) generate more consistent fantasy value. Look for versatile performers who can rack up stats across the board.

📊 Study Matchups

Some teams play faster pace and allow more points. Research defensive weaknesses and offensive pace to find favorable matchups for your selected players.

⏰ Monitor Playing Time

Players with more minutes have more opportunities to score fantasy points. Check injury reports and starting lineups before games lock.

💎 Find Value Picks

Don't spend all your budget on superstars. Identify undervalued players who are trending up or have favorable matchups to maximize your roster flexibility.

🏆 Chase Bonuses

Double-doubles and triple-doubles provide significant bonus points. Target players likely to reach these milestones for extra scoring potential.

🔄 Stack Strategically

Consider using multiple players from high-scoring games. If a game has a high over/under, stacking players from both teams can maximize your upside.

Lineup Building Strategy

Balance Your Roster: Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Mix proven stars with high-upside value plays to create a balanced lineup that can compete at the top of leaderboards.

Stay Updated: NBA news moves fast. Injuries, lineup changes, and rest days can dramatically impact player value. Check news right up until contest lock times.

Analyze Usage Rates: Players with high usage rates (percentage of team plays used) tend to score more fantasy points. Identify primary offensive options on each team.

Consider Game Pace: Faster-paced games produce more possessions and more statistical opportunities. Target players in games with high projected totals.

Track Your Results: Review your past lineups to identify patterns. Learn from both successes and mistakes to continuously improve your strategy.
