Scoring Examples

Let’s look at some examples to understand how the scoring works in practice:

Example 1: Elite Point Guard Performance

Player Statistics:

28 points (10-20 FG, 2-5 3PT, 6-7 FT)
5 rebounds
12 assists
3 steals
0 blocks
4 turnovers

Points Calculation:

Points: 28 × 1.0 = 28.0
Rebounds: 5 × 1.2 = 6.0
Assists: 12 × 1.5 = 18.0 (+ PG bonus 12 × 0.2 = 2.4)
Steals: 3 × 2.0 = 6.0 (+ PG bonus 3 × 0.3 = 0.9)
3-Pointers: 2 × 0.5 = 1.0
Field Goals Made: 10 × 0.5 = 5.0
Field Goals Missed: 10 × -0.5 = -5.0
Free Throws Made: 6 × 0.5 = 3.0
Free Throws Missed: 1 × -0.5 = -0.5
Turnovers: 4 × -1.0 = -4.0
Double-Double (points, assists): +3.0

Total Fantasy Points: 28.0 + 6.0 + 18.0 + 2.4 + 6.0 + 0.9 + 1.0 + 5.0 – 5.0 + 3.0 – 0.5 – 4.0 + 3.0 = 63.8 points

Example 2: Dominant Center Performance

Player Statistics:

22 points (9-15 FG, 0-0 3PT, 4-6 FT)
14 rebounds
3 assists
1 steal
4 blocks
2 turnovers

Points Calculation:

Points: 22 × 1.0 = 22.0
Rebounds: 14 × 1.2 = 16.8 (+ C bonus 14 × 0.2 = 2.8)
Assists: 3 × 1.5 = 4.5
Steals: 1 × 2.0 = 2.0
Blocks: 4 × 2.0 = 8.0 (+ C bonus 4 × 0.3 = 1.2)
Field Goals Made: 9 × 0.5 = 4.5
Field Goals Missed: 6 × -0.5 = -3.0
Free Throws Made: 4 × 0.5 = 2.0
Free Throws Missed: 2 × -0.5 = -1.0
Turnovers: 2 × -1.0 = -2.0
Double-Double (points, rebounds): +3.0

Total Fantasy Points: 22.0 + 16.8 + 2.8 + 4.5 + 2.0 + 8.0 + 1.2 + 4.5 – 3.0 + 2.0 – 1.0 – 2.0 + 3.0 = 60.8 points
