As with all fantasy sports, league format can alter which players are most valuable. Fantasy basketball is typically scored in several different ways. Every fantasy platform has a different set of rules to leverage
As outlined in Rotowire's advice: "Fantasy basketball works on the same basic principles as any other fantasy sport: the game is based on constructing teams of players from the respective league and earning points based on their real-life performances. The points you earned determine winners and losers, whether it's that day, that week, or that season. Fantasy basketball can be easier to get into than some other fantasy sports because typically fewer players are drafted in regular formats than in other fantasy games."
The format of your league will have a largue impact on your draft strategy. ESPN goes over this in detail here at their intro page.
