Your 10-man rotation.
- Every player is positionless. Choose any 10 players. No guard, forward, center, or role requirements.
- One best game per player, per half. The system automatically selects the highest fantasy score from a single eligible game. The same player can count once in each half.
- Ten selected players count. Best ball chooses their games; it does not replace your selected players with your bench after tipoff.
- Keep your bench ready. Draft 13 regular-roster players, with three on your bench each half. Bench players do not score. Two additional IR slots are planned; IR management is not enabled in this first league release.
- No game means zero. More scheduled games provide more chances for a high score.
Your scoring system.
| Stat | Fantasy points |
|---|---|
| Point scored | +1 |
| Rebound | +1 |
| Assist | +1.5 |
| Three-pointer made | +0.5 bonus |
| Steal | +3 |
| Block | +3 |
| Turnover | −1 |
FP = PTS + REB + 1.5×AST + 0.5×3PM + 3×STL + 3×BLK − TO
A made three earns 3.5 FP total. Every player uses the same formula.
Plan your second half during the first.
Two separate lineups.
Your first-half rotation locks before Monday’s first NBA game. Your second-half lineup stays editable until Thursday’s first NBA game.
Save second-half changes while first-half games are happening. Those changes never alter the first-half rotation or its score.
Ready at halftime.
Your saved second-half rotation takes effect automatically when the second half begins. If you make no changes, your first-half rotation carries forward.
Games count in the half in which they tip off. At halftime, the second-half score starts at zero; the first-half total remains part of the overall score.
Interactive sample matchup
Coach the halftime adjustment.
The sample opens on Tuesday: your first half is locked, and your second-half lineup is ready to edit. Uncheck one player, check a bench player, then save.

Want to test both lineup deadlines? Restart before Monday, save your first-half rotation, and advance through the week. The second half locks when Thursday begins.
A season that looks like basketball.
Target the first approximately 50 NBA games for the fantasy regular season. Around 16–17 weekly matchups would offer 48–51 standings decisions.
A 2–1 week adds two wins and one loss to your record. Exact scoring ties remain ties: neither team receives a win for that result.
Commissioners choose a future Monday and 1–20 regular-season weeks after drafting. This first league release supports the regular season; playoffs, trades, and IR management are not enabled yet.
One close week.
| Result | You | Opponent |
|---|---|---|
| First half | 300 · W | 270 · L |
| Second half | 320 · L | 360 · W |
| Overall | 620 · L | 630 · W |
You finish 1–2. Your opponent finishes 2–1. Every extra fantasy point can still decide the overall result.
