Players who contribute across multiple categories (points, rebounds, assists) offer more scoring consistency and bonus potential.
High-usage players get more opportunities to accumulate stats. Check who's getting heavy minutes and touches.
Teams that play at faster tempos create more possessions and stat opportunities. Target players in up-tempo matchups.
Don't overlook defenders who rack up steals and blocks. These actions are worth 2.0 points each and can boost your score significantly.
Players on hot streaks often maintain elevated performance. Check recent game logs for trending upward performances.
Study defensive rankings. Players facing weak defenses tend to produce higher fantasy outputs.
Balance Star Power with Value Picks: Don't blow your entire salary cap on superstars. Mix in mid-tier players who offer strong per-dollar value.
Captain/Star Player Multiplier: In some contest formats, your captain's points are multiplied. Choose wisely—high floor players reduce risk, while high ceiling players can win you the contest.
Monitor Injury Reports: Last-minute injuries can create opportunities. Backup players who step into starting roles often exceed their usual production.
Stack Teammates Strategically: In high-scoring games, pairing a point guard with their favorite scoring target can maximize assist and scoring points.
Differentiation Matters: In large contests, sometimes you need to take calculated risks on lower-owned players to separate from the field.
