Point System in Fantasy Basketball
In Fantasy Basketball, your score is dependent on the real-time on-field performance of your chosen players. So, if your players aren't performing well on the field, then it will reflect in your game as well. Which is why in fantasy games, it's crucial for players to stay in tune with the performance of players in real time.
Team points calculation
| Points Scored | 2 |

Other Rules:
- The star player will receive double (2 times) the fantasy points for his performance.
- Any event during overtime will be considered for awarding fantasy points.
- A clean sheet is credited if the player played for at least 55 minutes but did not concede a goal.
- In case of any transfer/trade of a real-life player in the intervening period between scheduled updates, the change will not be reflected in the roster of players until the next scheduled update.
- Please note that while the transferred player will be available for selection in the transferor team's roster of players in a contest during the intervening period, no points will be attributed to such transferred player in the course of such contest.
How to win Fantasy Basketball?
- Like in most fantasy games, the team building exercise is crucial for this one too. It's important to carefully choose the lineup of players in order to perform efficiently and also stay in touch with the recent events and changes in their real time performance.
- Choose your Star-Player wisely as this player will earn you double the points. The right star player can either make you win the game or lose it.
- Make sure that you've thought through and analyzed the current form of players before you add them to your team.
- Make good use of the credits to distribute them wisely amongst the field positions since you are limited with the number of player selections for every position.
