Sleeper’s NBA Injury Insurance protects entries when a player is unable to finish a game due to injury or ejection under specific conditions. When eligible, player picks may be voided or graded with adjusted outcomes as outlined below.
Eligibility Criteria
Injury Insurance applies when all of the following are true:
The player is removed from the game in the 1st half
The player does not return in the 2nd half.
How Picks Are Treated
MORE Picks
If you selected MORE on a player who meets the eligibility criteria, the pick will be voided and treated as a DNP (Did Not Play).
LESS Picks
If you selected LESS on a player who meets the eligibility criteria, the pick will be graded as a win if the player’s recorded stat is less than the projection.
If the Player Hit the Projection
If you selected MORE and the player reached their projection before the injury, the pick will be graded as a win.
Contest Outcomes After a Void
After Injury Insurance is applied:
If your contest still includes at least two players from multiple teams, it will be graded with an adjusted payout, as if the voided pick was not included.
If your contest no longer includes at least two players from multiple teams, the entire entry will be canceled and refunded.
Please allow up to 48 hours after the completion of a game for contests to be updated.
FAQ
Q: I picked a player who received fewer minutes than normal due to injury recovery. Can this be voided?
A: No. Injury Insurance only applies if a player is removed from the game due to injury and does not play in the second half. It does not apply to minutes restrictions.
Q: The player only entered the game in the final minute during a blowout. Will they be DNP’d?
A: No. If a player logs any playing time in the second half, they will be graded as normal, regardless of duration
