Daily Fantasy Basketball Leagues 2014 - 2015

Hey All,

Starting this early...

So lets finally get some daily leagues going on the forums this year!

This is how it works (pretty straight forward):

1). Basically, NBA players are assigned their respective position and a monetary value (examples below). The more a player produces, the higher their value.
Examples: PG Chris Paul = $9,000, SG Kobe Bryant = $9,600, SF Lebron James = $9,900, PF LaMarcus Aldridge = $9,200, C Dwight Howard = $9,000

2). Next, a salary cap set.
Example: $60,000

3). Then, you have to fill nine roster spots with only players that have a game that day (2 x Point Guards, 2 x Shooting Guards, 2 x Small Forwards, 2 x Power Forwards, 1 x Center)
Example of a team:
PG Damian Lillard ($6,600)
PG George Hill ($6,800)
SG Kobe Bryant ($9,000)
SG Kevin Martin ($5,300)
SF Lebron James ($9,900)
SF Andre Iguodala ($6,000)
PF Carl Landry ($4,400)
PF Kevin Garnett ($7,200)
C Andre Drummond ($4,800)
My grand total is $60,000 which is perfect because I stay within the $60,000 salary cap.

4). Finally, you play your team against teams assembled by other people via public or private games (vs. realgm members). The winner of the league is the individual that scores the most fantasy points and the winner can be awarded money or just bragging rights.

Do you have to PAY to play?

Nope you don't have to pay.

We can play free games or for money.

Depends on what you want to do.

Let me know if you have any other questions. These leagues are super fun.

I signed up for basketball monsters trail membership and dropped $25 at DraftKings. I've been playing football on Fanduel with minimal success.

Do daily basketball leagues run multiple days like football or is it literally for just that days scheduled games?

Some games run multiple days, for about 90% of the leagues will run for one day. Which is awesome because you don't have to wait for days before you get paid out.

Does anybody have any good links or tips for a fantasy basketball noob? I've played a good bit of daily fantasy football (and I'm pretty decent I guess) but fantasy basketball is so alien to me.

Any sites with good projections? Other than maximizing value per position and looking at positional mismatches, are there any other strategies I should consider?
