Common questions
Why do games per week matter in fantasy basketball?
Head-to-head category leagues add up a whole week of stats. A player with four games gives you about twice the counting stats of an equal player with two, so the schedule can matter as much as talent when you choose who to start or pick up.
What is an off-night?
A night with a small NBA slate. Fewer teams playing means fewer of your own starters need a lineup spot, so a streamer who plays that night almost always gets into your lineup. Streamers whose games land on off-nights are worth more than their raw game count.
When does each fantasy week start?
These weeks run Monday to Sunday, the standard for Sleeper and ESPN head-to-head leagues. Week 1 starts on opening night. Some leagues merge the All-Star week with a neighbour, so check your league's matchup schedule.
