Target All-Around Players: Players who contribute across multiple categories (points, rebounds, assists) earn bonus points through double-doubles and triple-doubles.
Value Three-Point Shooters: Three-pointers are worth more fantasy points (3.5) than their real-game value, making sharp shooters valuable picks.
Consider Defensive Stats: Steals and blocks are highly valuable at 2.0 points each. Don't overlook defensive specialists.
Monitor Playing Time: Players with more minutes have more opportunities to accumulate stats. Check injury reports and rotation updates.
Watch for Matchups: Some opponents allow more points, rebounds, or assists. Research favorable matchups before setting your lineup.
Avoid Foul-Prone Players: Personal fouls and turnovers reduce your score. Balance high-scoring players who may turn the ball over frequently.

Captain Selection: Some contests allow you to designate a captain whose points count 1.5x. Choose your highest-scoring player wisely.
Balance Your Roster: Don't stack all star players at one position. Spread your selections across positions for maximum flexibility.
Stay Updated: Check player news up until contest lock time. Last-minute injuries or rest days can significantly impact performance.
Track Trends: Monitor player hot streaks and recent performance. Current form often matters more than season averages.
Consider Game Pace: Teams that play at a faster pace generate more possessions and opportunities for fantasy points.
Home vs. Away: Some players perform significantly better at home. Factor in venue when making close decisions.
