Overview

• High Score is a head-to-head, points-based format now set as the default for new Yahoo Fantasy Basketball leagues for 2025–26.
• Scoring uses whole numbers only: points and rebounds are 1, assists are 2, and steals and blocks are 3, with turnovers excluded.
• Rosters shrink to 10 spots with six weekly starters in a flexible Guard–Guard–Frontcourt–Frontcourt–Frontcourt–FLEX layout plus four bench slots.
• Each starter contributes only their single highest game of the week, and benching a player wipes any prior weekly high until they are reinserted.
• NBA.com reports a default limit of four transactions per week and three IL slots, and Yahoo says traditional formats remain available.
