NOTES
- FanDuel – The scoring is the same as NBA, which makes for an easy transition from NBA to CBB. They do count both blocks and steals, which is different than most of the DFS sites for College Hoops. Further, they deduct for turnovers which is not seen on most DFS sites for CBB.
- DraftStreet – DS is one of the sites that only awards points for points, rebounds and assists. This makes the research process a bit easier, but also can take away value from athletic shot blockers, for example. This scoring likely benefits guards the most, since they account for the highest percentage of both points and assists in College Hoops.
- DraftKings – The biggest note on DK is that they award their .5 bonus for 3 pointers. This, combined with the fact that they only score points, rebounds and assists, again makes guards much more valuable on DK CBB.
- FantasyFeud – By awarding just 1 point per point, rebound and assist, Feud has the most simple format for scoring CBB. They don’t award any bonuses for rebounds or assists, like most other sites that offer CBB does.
- FanThrowDown – FTD is very similar to FanDuel’s scoring, with the difference that they only award one point for assists and rebounds. They do count blocks, steals and turnovers though, unlike 3 of the 5 sites with CBB.
