How it works
This fantasy points calculator for basketball is a blank sheet of six stat rows: points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks and turnovers. Type a stat line and the total adds itself up. A second sheet also scores made and attempted shots.

Type a stat line
Work down the first column: points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, turnovers. The small number under each box is the running total. Add a player goes up to 12 columns.
Pick the table your league starts from
Six stats uses one large host's default: 1.2 a rebound, 1.5 an assist, 3 a steal or block, minus 1 a turnover. Shot by shot uses another's: 2 an assist, 4 a steal or block, minus 2 a turnover, plus made and attempted shots.
Check it against one line
28 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 3 turnovers come to 52.6 on Six stats. Add 3 threes, 10 of 19 field goals and 5 of 6 free throws, and Shot by shot gives 57.
Tips
- Box scores print shots as made-attempted: 10-19 goes in as 10 made and 19 attempted.
- Per-game averages work too. The boxes take one decimal, so 7.8 rebounds is fine.
- Count a made three twice on Shot by shot: once as a three-pointer and once among the field goals made.
Questions and answers
How are fantasy basketball points calculated?
Each stat is multiplied by its value and the results are added. Under one large host's default a point is 1, a rebound 1.2, an assist 1.5, a steal or block 3 and a turnover minus 1.
Do these values match my league?
They match two large hosts' published defaults for points leagues, read on the date shown. A commissioner can change any value, so your league's own settings page has the last word. The scoring key under each sheet says where the two defaults differ.
Does this fantasy basketball calculator look up player stats?
No. Nothing is looked up or projected, and no player is named. You type the stats from a box score, and the same line always gives the same total.
What is a made three-pointer worth?
On Shot by shot, 5 in all: 3 for the points, 1 for the three, 2 for the made field goal, minus 1 for the attempt. On Six stats it is worth its 3 points.
Does it work for category or rotisserie leagues?
No. Those leagues rank teams stat by stat and have no points total. This sheet only turns one player's stat line into one number.
