Lineup, Scoring and Playoffs

The NBAGM bases their scoring off a H2H basis. This means that in a given match-up whichever team scores the most points overall will be awarded with the win. The best team is not always the team that will win, there are hot teams and cold teams as well as streaky teams but only one can come out on top.

Roster Positions

Teams will each have a 18-man roster with a 5 man developmental player squad. 10 active and 8 reserve. Players on the reserve cannot be started or played. In order to play them, you must bring them up from the reserve to active roster. Teams will also get 4 injured reserve spots. If a player is on IR, then a team may sign another player to cover for the injured player.
