Step 2: Choose a League Format

Decide on the league type:

Seasonal League – lasts the entire NBA season

Daytime Fantasy League (DFS) – one-day competitions

Draft League – teams select players one by one

Auction League – participants “buy” players for a virtual budget

Choose a scoring format:

Category Format (H2H Categories) – wins in each statistical category

Points Format (H2H Points) – total points for all player actions

Roto Format – all categories are constantly tracked throughout the season

Decide on the league size:

Number of participating teams (usually 8 to 16)

Roster size (usually 13-15 players)

Number of starting positions by position

Step 3: Study the rules and scoring system

Familiarize yourself with the rules of the chosen leagues:

Roster structure

Player position restrictions

Substitution and transfer rules

Deadlines and deadlines

Learn the scoring system:

What actions award points (points, rebounds, assists, etc.)

How many points are awarded for each action

Are there negative points (e.g. for turnovers)

Special bonuses (e.g. for a double-double or triple-double)

Build your strategy around the scoring system:

Determine which statistical categories are most valuable

Decide what type of players to bet on

Step 4: Prepare for the draft

Learn the NBA roster:

Star players and their stats

Rookies and promising young players

Injured or questionable players

Create a ranked list of players:

Ranked players by position

Mark the players you want to draft first

Create a list “dark horses” and underrated players

Research trends and predictions for the season:

Roster changes

New coaches and their playing styles

Changes in player rotation

Run mock drafts:

Use the “mock draft” feature on your platform of choice

Test different draft strategies

Determine the optimal sequence of player selections

Step 5: Participate in the draft

Prepare for the draft technically:

Check the stability of your internet connection

Make sure your device is working properly

Follow your draft strategy:

For early rounds: select the Best Player Available

For mid-rounds: fill the necessary positions

For late rounds: select players with high upside

Adapt as the draft progresses:

Monitor other participants’ picks

Adjust your strategy based on available players

Don’t panic if your target player is selected by another participant

Fill all the positions on the roster:

Point Guard (PG)

Shooting Guard (SG)

Small Forward (SF)

Power Forward (PF)

Center (C)

UTIL

Bench

Step 6: Create a Balanced Roster

Ensure Balance by Stat Category:

Recruit players who are strong in different categories

Avoid over-strengthening one category at the expense of others

Balance the Roster by Position:

Ensure quality players at all key positions

Have backup players in case of injuries or rest of the stars

Consider the Game Schedule:

Check how many games your players’ teams play per week

Avoid situations where many of your players rest on the same day

Step 7: Weekly/Daily Roster Management

Actively manage your starting roster:

Check the daily schedule of games

Only line up players who have games

Consider rest breaks for star players

Track injury news:

Subscribe to player status alerts

Replace injured players with healthy ones

Use the injured list (IR) if your league has such an option

Analyze matchups:

Consider the strength of the opponent’s defense

Pay attention to the pace of the teams’ play

Prefer players who play against weak defenses
