HOOPS EXPERT? CASUAL FAN?
ESPN Fantasy Basketball makes it easy for you to get in the game.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
You "draft" a team of NBA players and create or join a 10-team league.

You act as coach and decide which of your players to start each night.
If your players accumulate more points than your opponent, you win.

At the end of the season (after a 4 week playoff bracket for Head-to-Head teams) the title of league champion is awarded. It could be you!

WHY SHOULD I PLAY?
Owning a fantasy team makes watching any NBA game or seeing any highlight reel more exciting. You feel like you're a part of the game.

DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO COACH THE PROS?

Each night you rule the bench as head coach. In rotisserie leagues you take on all nine owners at once, all of whom are trying just as hard as you to gain that three pointer or increase their FG %. In Head-to-Head play you are matched against different opponents from your ten team league each week.

You make the decisions on who to start and who to bench each night. But there's no need to check with the front office if a player is slacking. As GM you're free to wheel and deal at will, proposing trades to other team owners and grabbing players off waivers.

Don't worry, ESPN experts give you all the tools to make the decisions easy! The Player Rater, custom injury reports, expert analysis, and feature articles from ESPN.com editors are available to keep owners informed.
