How NBA Fantasy Score Is Calculated

The NBA Fantasy Score converts on-court performance into a single point total to measure player value. Because leagues use different rules, the calculation changes based on your chosen system.

Score = (Points × Weight) + (Rebounds × Weight) + ... - (Turnovers × Weight)

Common Weights:

  • Standard: Rebounds (1.2), Assists (1.5), Blocks/Steals (3), Turnovers (-1)
  • ESPN: Assists (2), Blocks/Steals (4), Turnovers (-2), 3PM (1)
  • Yahoo: 3PM (0.5), Standard weights applied

First, select your specific scoring system to set the correct weights. Then, multiply each statistic by its assigned value and sum the results. Finally, subtract points for turnovers to get the final score.

Reliable Starter (20-34 points)

Scores here are solid and consistent. Start these players with confidence, as they provide a stable floor for your team.
