Fantasy Basketball Playoff Strategy Guide

Fantasy basketball playoffs require different strategies for High Score, points, and 9-category leagues to secure a championship run.

For High Score leagues, focus on upside rather than consistent players. Hunt for players facing bottom-10 defenses and trade reliable players for volatile ones with high upside potential. Schedule awareness becomes crucial when identifying favorable matchups.

As the fantasy postseason approaches, roster decisions, waiver logic, and schedule awareness are critical to last through the playoffs. Trade high-floor players before deadlines to capitalize on waiver wire opportunities with increased playing time.
