DraftStreet Live Snake Draft Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Review
Dec 3, 2012 Daily Fantasy Basketball Site Reviews, News and Daily Picks
I recently reviewed DraftStreet’s Daily Salary Cap Game and now I’m going to post a review of one of my other favorite games, the DraftStreet Live Snake Draft Game.
DraftStreet is probably the second biggest site in the daily fantasy industry and the daily basketball traffic has really been growing this season. If you want to give it a look, you can SIGN UP HERE FOR FREE. To register, all you have to do is supply your name and a valid email address, then pick a screen name and password and you are ready to go. They offer free games that you can play just to get a feel for the site and the live draft software, without having to deposit real money. If you want to play games for real money, you can fund your account with any major credit card or Paypal.
Just about every season long fantasy league uses the snake draft format and the DraftStreet setup is exactly like a season long league draft, except that the draft only covers the games for ONE night of NBA Action. Once that day’s action is complete, you can snake draft a team for tomorrow’s NBA Action. No worry about injuries killing your season, just draft a new team tomorrow.
Draft Rules
When you enter a DraftStreet Live Snake Draft Game, the league will set to draft 5 minutes after the league is full. The draft order is determined by random drawing and each team has 45 seconds to make their pick. The draft consists of drafting 2 Guards, 2 Forwards, 1 Center and 3 FLEX players. You will also have to draft 2 Bench players that you can substitute into your roster at any time up until tipoff. This is a great safety net just in case one of your starting players comes up with a pre-game injury. The game has a queue feature that lets you pre-rank your players and you can also autodraft if for some reason you can’t stay for the entire draft.
Game Scoring
The game scoring in the DraftStreet Live Snake Draft Game is the same as all their other fantasy basketball games:
Point scored = 1 point
Assist = 1.5 points
Rebound = 1.25 points
Steal = 2 points
Block = 2 points
Turnover = -1 point
Missed Field Goal = -.5 points
Missed Free Throw = -.5 points
If you are a fan of live drafts and the strategy that comes with them, the DraftStreet Live Snake Draft Game is definitely going to be your favorite contest choice. There are free snake draft games where you can practice your drafting strategy and get a feel for the draft software before you commit any real money.
To experience the DraftStreet Live Snake Draft Game without any risk, you can REGISTER HERE FOR FREE.

DraftStreet Salary Cap Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Review
Dec 3, 2012 Daily Fantasy Basketball Site Reviews, News and Daily Picks
I’ve recently started doing a little more playing on DraftStreet and figured I’d post a review of my experience on the site for you guys.
DraftStreet is probably the second biggest site in the daily fantasy industry and the daily basketball traffic has really been growing this season. If you want to give it a look, you can SIGN UP HERE FOR FREE. To register, all you have to do is supply your name and a valid email address, then pick a screen name and password and you are ready to go. They offer free games that you can play just to get a feel for the site without having to deposit real money. If you want to play games for real money, you can fund your account with any major credit card or Paypal.
DraftStreet offers all major fantasy sports and has three different fantasy basketball games, but I’m just going to cover the salary cap fantasy basketball game in this article. I’ve posted a review of the DraftStreet Live Snake Draft Game HERE and a review of the DraftStreet Pick’em Game HERE.
Roster Positions
The DraftStreet Salary Cap Game is set up like most of the other daily fantasy sites such as Fanduel and Daily Joust, but it has a few unique features that I think makes it a better all around fantasy game. The first thing that DraftStreet has done differently is the composition of their rosters. They use a bigger roster with looser position designations and more FLEX spots. The game consists of 2 Guards, 2 Forwards, 2 Centers and 2 FLEX/Utility spots. The Guard positions are not broken down into shooting guard/point guard, so you can use any type of guard you want to fill your Guard spots. Same for the Forward position. The two FLEX positions allow you to pick any NBA player for those spots, which is very convenient if you want to build your team around a certain statistic such as assists or blocks/rebounds.
Scoring Format
The other difference is the scoring format. The DraftStreet Salary Cap Game uses a much broader scoring system which includes the following:
Points = 1 point
Rebounds = 1.25 points
Assists = 1.5 points
Blocks = 2 points
Steals = 2 points
Turnovers = -1
Missed Field Goal = -.5 points
Missed Free Throw = -.5 points
As you can see, the scoring format is a little different from other sites and also uses statistics that reward good FG% and FT%, so if you are used to playing in leagues that use shooting percentages, then this game might be more suited to your tastes.
Game Duration
DraftStreet offers a unique game that you can’t find anywhere else with their week long fantasy contests. While most of the games are just one day contests, DraftStreet also offers the same game that lasts 7 days, which is much like a season long league scoring period, but you still get to pick a new team after that one week matchup is over.
Types of Salary Cap Games
DraftStreet offers Head to Head, 3 Player, 6 Player, 10 Player and 20 Player Leagues. They offer 50/50 Double up games and large field tournaments.
You can also find just about any buyin level to suit your budget from $2 games all the way up to $500 games for the high rollers.
Overall, I’d say that DraftStreet is one of my favorite places to play salary cap basketball games due to their roster flexibility, comprehensive scoring and large site traffic and table selection. To play a couple of free games just to get a feel for the site, you can SIGN UP HERE FOR FREE.

DraftStreet has come up with a great game that is quick and easy and allows you to play daily without a time commitment, it’s called the DraftStreet Pick’em Game.

How to Play – Rules
The rules to the DraftStreet Pick’em Game are simple: You are presented with 8 groups of players, with each group consisting of 2 to 10 players, and you simply pick the player out of each group that you think will score the most fantasy points. There is no salary cap to work with, no position requirements and no waiting around on a live draft. Quick and easy.
Scoring
The DraftStreet Pick’em Game scores just like the DraftStreet Salary Cap Game that I reviewed HERE and the DraftStreet Live Snake Draft Game that I reviewed HERE.
Point Scored = 1 point
Rebound = 1.25 points
Assist = 1.5 points
Steal = 2 points
Block = 2 points
Turnover = -1 point
Missed Field Goal = -.5 points
Missed Free Throw = -.5 points
