If you cannot win in the different categories in a fantasy game you cannot win at all. Here is an NBA basketball fantasy strategy that you should try. This type of strategy is called the rotation of key players. It is not everyday that your key players will contribute in your weekly statistics so it is important that you can formulate a good rotation for your key players. You are allowed to have 13 players in your fantasy roster so you should obtain at least 7 to 8 key players so that you can have enough key players to contribute every game day.
You don’t need to obtain such players as Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant and Dwyane Wade. But just in case you have one of these players, it is up to you if you will keep them or trade them with 2 key players. But if you want to keep you superstar, it is also possible as long as you make sure to find other key players in the free agent. In an NBA basketball fantasy strategy you should make sure that your strategy would be gaining under rated players that can really contribute a lot in any statistics. Here are some NBA players that would be really effective in a fantasy league and could become a key player.
BASED ON THEIR STATISTICS IN THE 2010 – 2011 SEASON (Oct. 27 – Dec. 23)
Point Guard:
Daniel Gibson (CLE) ----- 13.8 PPG | 3.5 RPG | 3.0 APG | 2.0 3PM
George Hill (SA) ------ 11.3 PPG | 2.5 RPG | 2.3 APG | 1.0 3PM
Jose Calderon (TOR) ----- 10.0 PPG | 2.4 RPG | 7.0 APG | 0.9 3PM
Shooting Guard:
Shanon Brown (LAL) ----- 10.3 PPG | 2.3 RPG | 1.2 APG | 1.5 3PM
Lou Williams (PHI) ----- 11.8 PPG | 1.6 RPG | 3.4 APG | 1.1 3PM
Mike Dunleavy (IND) ----- 12.2 PPG | 5.3 RPG | 2.1 APG | 1.7 3PM
Small Forward:
Mike Dunleavy (IND) ----- 12.2 PPG | 5.3 RPG | 2.1 APG | 1.7 3PM
C.J. Miles (UTA) ----- 12.3 PPG | 3.2 RPG | 1.8 APG | 1.4 3PM
James Jones (MIA) ----- 07.3 PPG | 2.5 RPG | 0.7 APG | 2.0 3PM
Power Forward:
DeMarcus Cousins (SAC) --- 11.8 PPG | 7.5 RPG | 1.3 APG
Matt Bonner (SA) ----- 07.0 PPG | 3.5 RPG | 0.9 APG | 1.9 3PM
In the Center position, just pick a player that would at least contribute 7 PPG, 6 RPG, 1 to 2 APG and at least 1 BPG. There are other players you can choose from in all the positions. Just make sure that they will have the same statistics as the players listed above.
This is one of the best strategies you can use in a fantasy league. There will be a lot of NBA basketball fantasy strategy but this will one of the most effective ones you can use. Another thing you should also remember is not to pick a player that is a substitute for a superstar. This will lessen his minutes especially during crunch time. The lesser the minutes, the less contribution a player can make. When it comes to consistency, the players listed above are consistent as superstars they only have a limited playing time that is why they are not as productive as superstars.

Since the game of NBA Fantasy is all about winning all the statistics, a good and effective way to win is by dominating. In a custom setting of a Basketball fantasy game there are 8 default statistics that you should win and those are Free throw percentage, Field Goal percentage, Points, Rebounds, Assists, Three Pointers Made, Steals and Blocks. If you can dominate 5 out of 8 statistics you can easily win the game.
Now how can you do that? There are players that can dominate in free throw percentage, assists, points and three points made. All you have to do is at least acquire 5 players that can dominate in these statistics. This is one of the best NBA fantasy strategies since you don’t have to monitor each player that you have in your roster. The only difficult thing in this fantasy strategy is the availability of players. But if you really want to win, you will have to sacrifice some of your players just to get these players.
Here is the list of players you should acquire:
PG – Steve Nash / Chauncey Billups
SG – Ray Allen / Kevin Martin
SF – Kevin Durant / Danny Granger
PF – Dirk Nowitzki / David West
C – Brook Lopez / David Lee
Now to check on their 2009 – 2010 statistics:
| Name | Points | Rebounds | Assists | 3PM | FT% | |||
| | | | | | | |||
| Steve Nash | 16.5 | 3.3 | 11.0 | 1.5 | 93.8 | |||
| Ray Allen | 16.6 | 3.2 | 2.6 | 1.8 | 91.3 | |||
| Kevin Durant | 30.1 | 7.6 | 2.8 | 1.6 | 90.0 | |||
| Dirk Nowitzki | 25.0 | 7.7 | 2.7 | 0.6 | 91.5 | |||
| Brook Lopez | 18.8 | 8.6 | 2.3 | 0 | 81.7 | |||
| TOTAL: | 107 | 30.4 | 21.4 | 5.5 | 89.7 | |||
| Chauncey Billups | 19.5 | 3.1 | 5.6 | 2.2 | 91.0 | |||
| Kevin Martin | 20.6 | 3.6 | 2.4 | 1.5 | 87.6 | |||
| Danny Granger | 24.1 | 5.5 | 2.8 | 2.5 | 84.8 | |||
| David West | 19.0 | 7.5 | 3.0 | 0.1 | 86.5 | |||
| David Lee | 20.2 | 11.7 | 3.6 | 0 | 81.2 | |||
| TOTAL: | 103.4 | 31.4 | 17.4 | 6.3 | 86.2 |
If you have at least 5 of these players in your roster you will be able to get at least:
105 points per game, 30 rebounds per game, 19 assists per game, 6 three points made per game and a free throw percentage of at least 87 percent per game. This is only their average per game and a player would play at least 3 – 4 games per week. Not only that, you will have 8 other players that will contribute to the statistics.

The real NBA game is far different from NBA Fantasy League especially when it comes to strategy. The main reason why it is far different, it’s because of how the total points are computed and used. In the real NBA games, the important thing for the team to do is to score more than the opponent. And that is only based on points and the other stats like assists, rebounds and steals are only incentive for players.
In NBA basketball fantasy league, you need to win in every stat that a player can contribute. This is also similar to football fantasy whether it is sponsored by Yahoo or ESPN. And a good strategy to use is the stat averaging.
Stat Averaging
What is a stat averaging? This is where you collect all the data from different players on your roster (all their stats) and compute their average. But if you are thinking that this is already available in Yahoo and ESPN, you will have to do something different with it. The different thing that you will have to do is to gather their stats in their last 3 games. Basketball fantasy is really tricky since there are some players that have an off night. On the other hand, there are also players that are very consistent.
What do to after getting the stat data and average (per 3 games)?
You will have to check the player’s consistency. If a player is consistent within every 3 games, you can keep that player in your roster. But if you notice that he is not that consistent, you might as well trade him. In football fantasy it is much harder, that is why this type of strategy will only be effective for NBA fantasy league.
Another strategy you can add is to be updated with injury reports. But you should be selective in monitoring player’s injury report. You should only monitor consistent players since you don’t really want to add an inconsistent player to your roster. When a player is injured (when the injury status is O) in basketball fantasy that player will be useless until he would be re-enlisted in the NBA roster. But for players who have DTD injury status, you should check again their stat average.
So if you are playing both basketball and football fantasy games, do not mix up strategies. It is better to have different types of fantasy games strategy in each fantasy game you play. This type of strategy in NBA fantasy league is really effective and you should try it out sometime.
