Step 1: Learn the Basics
- A fantasy league consists of a group of people who get together and decide to play fantasy basketball. Each player is a team "owner," and chooses actual pro NBA players for their team. Owners accumulate points based on the performances of their players in real-life games. The teams must be maintained daily to be successful, as benched players must be removed and weak players should be traded. Undrafted players are available to pick up as free agents or on waivers.
Step 2: Find a Team
- Keep in mind that different leagues follow different rules. There are several types of fantasy basketball, and you should find the one that will bring you the most enjoyment.
- You can form your own league if you have friends who are also interested in playing.
- Check your local sports bars. Many have fantasy leagues throughout the basketball season.
- Go online. This is where most fantasy basketball is played, and there a number of free sites you can join.
Step 3: Study the Players
- You will need to know about players' performances before you choose your team. Look at statistics, and watch for players who you think will have a great season. The more you know about your options, the more likely you are to pick solid players and build a winning team.
