The Punt Steals Strategy This is another punting guide that is worth a read, even if you have another strategy in mind. Not because it’s a strategy that a large chunk of your league is going to use like punt FG%, but because this is a strategy that works well not only as a primary […]
The Punt Points Strategy Punting points is for those who will not be satisfied with just winning their league. It is for those who want to demoralize their opponents to the point where they are left wondering why they even bothered to join the league in the first place. While this is not the easiest strategy to pull off, it […]

The Punt Threes Strategy The question I get asked the most during the preseason is what do I think is the best punting strategy. My answer to that is always “it depends”. If you are in an eight-category league, then punt FG% is king. With five categories geared towards guards and only three geared towards bigs, you almost have […]
The Punt Blocks Strategy The punt blocks build is a strategy we all need to start paying more attention to. It’s a championship-winning strategy when implemented properly, but it’s usually not the first choice of many fantasy managers. Expect that to change over the next decade. The reason for that is Victor Wembanyama. The Spurs’ center […]
The Punt FT% Strategy The punt FT% strategy is in the midst of a resurgence. The build was starting to lose some of its luster toward the end of the 2010s due to some long-time top targets like Andre Drummond and DeAndre Jordan fading into irrelevancy and the league rapidly moving away from double-big lineups. […]
The Punt FG% Strategy I say this every year, but it’s worth repeating. You have to read this guide. I’m not saying that to boost my traffic numbers. I’m saying that because it is very important to understand the punt FG% build’s strengths and weaknesses. That’s because you’ll either be deploying it yourself or facing off against […]
The Punt Assists Strategy The punt assists build will always get top billing here at Elite Fantasy Basketball. It gets priority because it is a strategy that almost every fantasy player should consider. It is a relatively straightforward strategy that comes with both a high floor and a high ceiling. If you are new to […]
Anthony Davis (Pick 9-12) Punt Threes: Davis/Young/Adebayo/DeRozan/Beal – A textbook punt threes start. Young is the best second-round partner for Davis in punt threes. He is durable, doesn’t hit as many threes as you’d think, and his line complements Davis’ line very well. Adebayo and DeRozan are your top targets in punt threes in rounds […]
Jayson Tatum (Pick 3-7) Punt FG%: Tatum/Towns/Dejounte Murray/Porzingis/Barnes – This is a group that comes with no significant per-game weaknesses. This combination is slightly below average in points and average or better everywhere else. An excellent start in turnovers for a punt FG% team. You won’t be quite as dominant in the category as the […]

The Punt Blocks Strategy The punt blocks build may not be as flashy or as popular as strategies like punt FT% or punt FG%, but that doesn’t mean it is not a championship-winning strategy. This is a classic build that has become even more effective as the NBA has transitioned to a more perimeter-oriented league. […]
The Punt Threes Strategy Punting threes is another strategy that every category league player should get familiar with. Not because it’s guaranteed to show up in your league like punt FG% is. It may not. This is not a strategy that you are going to see novice punters deploy too often. You need to get […]

The Punt FG% Strategy Elite Fantasy Basketball’s punt FG% guide is always a must-read. I say that not because it helps with the SEO, but because unless you play in a two-team league, you are a lock to come across this strategy. You’ll either be deploying it yourself or facing off against multiple versions of […]
Luka Doncic (Pick 4-9) Punt FT%: Doncic/James/Gobert/Holiday/McCollum – The ideal Luka punt FT% start. Average in steals, below average in turnovers, and above average everywhere else. Elite in all of the big man categories despite only having one big on the roster. That allows you to go small again in round six if you wish. Elite […]
