How to Play

Ready to jump into the action of fantasy basketball? Great! First, visit the Hoops Nation website. On the homepage, you’ll find a big “Download App” button—click it, and the app will start downloading straight to your phone or tablet. Once it’s done, open your “Downloads” folder, tap on the file, and hit “Install.” If your device asks for permission to install from unknown sources, just head to your settings and allow it. After a couple more taps, you’ll be all set up and ready to play!

Now that the app is installed, it’s time to create your account! Open the app, and you’ll see the Sign Up option.

This is where it gets exciting—building your team! Go to the “Team Builder” section, and start drafting real NBA players for your squad. You’ll have access to each player’s stats, performance, and upcoming games to help you make the best decisions. Choose wisely—your team needs a mix of solid stars and a few surprises to rack up the points and dominate your league.

Once your team is ready, it’s time to get in the game! Go to the “Leagues” section where you can join an existing league or create your own. Whether you’re competing against friends or jumping into public leagues, your players will start earning points based on real NBA performances. Stay active, track your progress, and watch as your team climbs up the leaderboard.

Basketball is dynamic, and player performance can change week to week. Keep an eye on your team’s progress! If a player isn’t performing as expected, make moves—whether it’s adjusting your lineup, making a trade, or adding a player on a hot streak. Constantly managing your team will help you stay on top and win!

The more you play, the better you’ll get at creating strategies and picking the right players. Whether you’re racking up wins or learning from your losses, always remember that fantasy basketball is about having fun. So sit back, enjoy the thrill of the game, and keep improving your skills.
