what is head to head points in fantasy basketball

Head-to-head points in fantasy basketball means your team faces one opponent each week, and the team with the most fantasy points wins the matchup. Each real-life stat is assigned a point value, so your players’ rebounds, assists, blocks, steals, etc. all add up to one total score.

Quick Scoop

In this format, you are not trying to win separate stat categories like points or rebounds one by one. Instead, you’re trying to maximize your overall fantasy total for the week against a single opponent.

Example

• 1 point for a rebound.
• 1.5 points for an assist.
• 3 points for a steal or block.

So if your players collect more weighted fantasy points than your opponent’s team, you get the win that week.

How it differs

Format| How you win
---|---
Head-to-head points| Highest total fantasy points for the matchup wins. 13
Head-to-head categories| Win the most stat categories in the matchup. 1
Rotisserie| Rank across categories over the season, not weekly matchups. 1

Simple takeaway

If you know fantasy football, this is the basketball version of that style: weekly matchups, but with basketball stats converted into points.
