What are Points Leagues in fantasy basketball?
Points Leagues use a point system for different statistical indicators of players. All player actions (points, rebounds, assists, etc.) are converted into points according to the established system.
What is the waiver system in fantasy basketball?

How to Prepare for the Fantasy Basketball Draft?
Preparation includes: researching players, creating rankings, analyzing position depth, monitoring injury news, studying team rotations, creating a draft strategy, and preparing a list of target players for each round.
When is it better to draft guards vs. bigs in the draft?
It all depends on the league format and the players available, but it often makes sense to draft elite point guards in the early rounds due to their rarity, and centers in the mid-rounds who can contribute heavily to blocks and rebounds.
What is a "position gap" in fantasy basketball?
A position gap is a lack of quality players at a certain position, which increases the value of the players at that position. For example, there are usually fewer elite centers than elite guards.
