Step 3: Draft Your Dream Team

The heart of fantasy basketball lies in assembling your ideal team of NBA players. Here’s how it works:

The Draft: When you join a league, you’ll have the opportunity to draft players from the entire NBA roster. You’ll have a limited budget, so choose wisely!

Each player has a value based on their performance, and your goal is to assemble a team of stars while staying within the budget.

Positioning Your Team: Select players for different positions — guards, forwards, and centers — and balance your team to maximize points. The better your team, the better your chances of winning!

Bench Players: Don’t forget to fill your bench with solid players who can contribute during the season, whether it’s for trade or as substitutes when starters need rest.

Step 4: Understand the Scoring System

Once your team is drafted, it’s time to start competing! The next step is understanding how scoring works. Here at Divine Arens, we reward you for your players’ real-life NBA performances. Every point, assist, rebound, and steal earns you fantasy points.

Points are awarded for positive stats: Points scored, assists, rebounds, steals, blocks, etc.

Deductions occur for negative actions: Turnovers, missed shots, and personal fouls subtract points from your total.

For more detailed information on how points are awarded or deducted, check out our Balls System page.

Step 5: Compete in Leagues

Now that your team is set, it’s time to compete!

Join a League: You can either join a public league or create a private league with friends and family. Each league can have different rules, scoring systems, and formats, so make sure to read the league’s guidelines before joining.

Matchups: Each week, your team will face off against other teams in your league. The goal is to accumulate as many points as possible, based on your players’ real-life performances in NBA games.

Leagues: Stay active in your league to see how your team ranks, and interact with other players for trade offers, strategy tips, and more!

Step 6: Manage Your Team Throughout the Season

Fantasy basketball is a dynamic game, so managing your team is key to staying competitive. Throughout the season, you’ll need to:

Make Trades: If you see an opportunity to improve your team, don’t hesitate to make trades with other players.

Monitor Player Performance: Keep an eye on how your players are performing, as well as any injuries or suspensions. Adjust your lineup to maximize your points.

Check Player Availability: Players may be traded or injured, so be proactive about picking up players from the waiver wire to ensure your team stays strong.

Step 7: Track Your Progress

You’ll want to track your team’s performance throughout the season to see how you’re doing compared to your league’s other players. Use our tools to:

Monitor Stats: Dive into your players’ stats and performance reports.

View League Standings: Check where you stand in the league rankings and see if you need to make adjustments to keep climbing the ladder.

Step 8: Win and Dominate

Your ultimate goal? To dominate your league and emerge as the fantasy basketball champion! The better your strategy, lineup, and management, the higher your chances of winning. Play smart, stay competitive, and most importantly — have fun!
