For fantasy basketball playoff success, league format dictates strategy. In High Score leagues, managers should prioritize upside over consistency, targeting players with explosive potential against poor defenses. The key is identifying complementary players who can deliver one elite performance to win the week.
Before the trade deadline, fantasy owners should consider trading reliable, high-floor players for volatile options with proven upside. Utilizing resources like FantasyPros' defensive vs. position tool can help identify favorable matchups. With shorter benches during playoffs, maximizing streaming spots for injury replacements becomes crucial.
