Welcome to Sleeper!

Fantasy basketball can feel like a lot. The NBA season has 82 games, and in traditional fantasy basketball leagues you must set your lineup every day. This can get tiring, and many players lose interest mid-season.

Sleeper’s Lock-In Fantasy Basketball makes the game easier and more fun.

Instead of daily lineup changes, you make weekly choices.

Here’s how it works:

  • When your player finishes a game, you can lock in that performance.

  • If you lock it in, that score counts toward your fantasy points for the week.

  • But you must lock it in before that player’s next game starts.

Example: Lock-in player’s game on fantasy matchup page

This format keeps things fair. Without it, managers who lineup players with more games in a week could win the match up, just because their players had extra chances to rack up points.

Sleeper’s Lock-In Fantasy Basketball is simple, fair, and more strategic. You only need to focus on the best game each week from each player.
