Fantasy Basketball 2020: James Harden leads, Seth Curry could be a hot sleeper pick

To survive and succeed in the H2H (head-to-head) categories in fantasy basketball drafts, one needs to know the quality ranks, percentages, and how to rack up points. One is each stat category, which deals with points, three-points, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals, free-throw and field goal percentages along with turnovers. Points are won according to how well one fares against the opponent, and by the end, the player will have a record which shows the performance. 

The H2H: Most categories are similar to each category format, yet different. Each week, the totals are collected in every category for one player and the opponent. However, in the end, the team which wins in most categories is victorious. It can be a 1-0-0 win, 0-1-0 loss, or a tie.
