What happens when a game is postponed in Lock-In Mode?

When an NBA game is postponed, how it will be handled in your league can have a huge impact on matchups.

Lock-In Mode

  • If a player’s upcoming game gets postponed, you can lock-in their previous game score until the new start time of the postponed game - but only if the postponed game is still that player’s next scheduled game.

    • Example:

      • Curry scores 50 FPTS on Monday.

      • The Warriors’ next game is Wednesday at 3:00 PM, but it gets postponed to 5:00 PM.

      • You can lock-in Curry’s Monday score until 5:00 PM (the new start time).

  • Exception: If the postponed game gets pushed far enough that another Warriors game happens first, this rule does not apply — the lock window will be based on the game that took place instead.

What if all of a player's games are postponed?

If a player has all of their games postponed in a matchup week, you cannot accumulate any points from them.
