Why Sports.ws Fantasy Hoops Dominates

Head-to-Head Scoring

  • Our unique scoring system lets you play a full 82-game season.
  • We invented head-to-head "Per Minute" scoring and are the biggest site using it. To see it in action, try our fantasy lineup simulator.
  • Your schedule produces box scores, standings; customizable your playoff series and brackets.
  • Assign any fantasy point value to any statistic.
  • Start as late as you want with no penalty or delay.
  • While it may sound more complicated than standard rotisserie or head-to-head, it's actually less work to maintain your lineup. Stop being penalized for fluke injuries and not being able to check every Monday!

The Competitor

  • They claim to be "Head-to-Head" by adding up stats each week instead of each game.

  • No differentation between a player who plays the whole game and a player that plays a few minutes.
  • Weekly results means lineups and standings only change once per week.

Sports.ws
