Snapdraft NBA Basketball Scoring and Strategy

For the record, $28 of hockey contests yesterday with no wins. I picked up a few more 2nd place finishes, but with both of my lineups scoring in the high 30s didn't really do well enough to be able to expect any wins.

Although I haven't been playing in te NBA basketball contests at Snapdraft, I do have some thoughts on how to approach them. First, here is the scoring system:

2 points - 2 Pt. Field Goal
3 points - 3 Pt. Field Goal
1 point - Free Throw
1 point - Assist
1 point - Rebound
2 points - Steal
2 points - Blocked Shot

Compared to traditional fantasy basketball, this scoring system places a lot of emphasis on points scored. While the scarcity of other categories makes each individual event worth more in traditional (rotisserie) scoring, here each event is worth the same amount. Your opponents may not fully appreciate how valuable the one-dimensional scorers can be in this format.
