FAQ

What happens if both players in one matchup score the same amount of points?

If players in a head-to-head matchup score the same number of points, the winner will be determined by the player on the team that wins the game. For example:

Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks) vs LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers)
- Both players score 28 points
- Lakers win the game
  - Therefore, LeBron James would win the head to head matchup

What happens if a player in a matchup does not end up playing in the game?

If a player in a matchup does not play in the designated game (e.g. injury, load management, trades, etc.) they will be automatically swapped out for another player on the same team.

The new player selected will have the next-lowest PPG (points per game average) on the team, however the substitution is at the sole discretion of the NBA.

See full Contest Rules for more information.

What happens if a game is rescheduled or cancelled?

If an entire game where a matchup is taking place is cancelled or rescheduled for ANY reason, it will be removed from the Head to Head results. This game will not count towards any scoring or affect any streaks.

Please see full Contest Rules for more information.

When do the weekly head to head matchups become available to make selections?
