This year will be my first year playing Fantasy Basketball on the ESPN Fantasy App. It’s definitely different but the season is longer and almost 4 times as many games as the NFL. First thing I needed to know was the scoring system and it goes like this:
- Point = 1
- 3PM = 1
- FGA = -1
- FGM = 2
- FTA = -1
- FTM = 1
- REB = 1
- AST = 2
- STL = 4
- BLK = 4
- TOV = -2
- Point = each point scored
- 3PM = 3-pointer made
- FGA = field goal attempt
- FGM = field goal made
- FTA = free throw attempt
- FTM = free throw made
- REB = rebound
- AST = assist
- STL = steal
- BLK = block
- TOV = turnover
- **Scoring math:
- 3-pointer made = 5 (3 for three points scored, 1 for a 3-pointer, 2 for a field goal made, and -1 for a field goal attempt; 3+1+2-1=5).
- 2-pointer made = 3 (2 for two points scored, 2 for a field goal made, -1 for a field goal attempt; 2+2-1=3)
- Free throw made = 1 (1 for one point scored, 1 for a free throw made, -1 for a free throw attempt; 1+1-1=1)
That information is from the ESPN website. They made it so the more efficient your player is the more they score. That means you don’t have to just have the highest scorers on your team. It helps to get defensive specialists, pass first players, etc.
Also here’s a video to help out with strategy.
