Fantasy basketball used to be ruled by instinct and highlight reels. Now it’s ruled by data. Beyond Box Scores is the complete handbook for fantasy managers who want to dominate leagues through advanced analytics—turning stats, trends, and models into a system that predicts wins.

This book breaks down the modern fantasy ecosystem, showing how to interpret metrics that casual managers ignore. Learn how usage rate predicts opportunity, how pace inflates category volume, and how true shooting and efficiency metrics reveal which players actually help your team instead of padding empty points. Each chapter translates complex analytics into direct, actionable strategy for real fantasy matchups.

Readers will learn to recognize early indicators of breakouts before they appear on highlight shows. By combining minute trends, shot profiles, and regression analysis, you’ll forecast production weeks in advance. You’ll discover how to use correlation between stats—like assists and turnovers, or pace and rebounds—to build balanced teams where every player complements the next.

Beyond Box Scores also teaches how to filter noise from truth. It exposes how small samples, inflated hot streaks, and statistical mirages trap reactionary managers. You’ll see how to apply replacement-level metrics, projection models, and category weighting to find real edges. Every tool used by professional fantasy analysts—efficiency scaling, usage elasticity, predictive modeling—is broken into clear, digestible frameworks that even busy managers can apply daily.

From draft prep to playoff scheduling, every section is engineered for practical application. You’ll learn how to optimize trade value using data deltas, use on/off splits to decode player impact, and exploit schedule density for streaming advantages. The final chapters unite forecasting, context, and psychology into a repeatable decision system—one that transforms intuition into measurable precision.

Whether you’re running a dynasty league, redraft, or competitive head-to-head, this book equips you to think like a data strategist. It’s not about guessing who scores next; it’s about calculating which opportunities will matter most.

If you’re ready to move past gut feeling and start managing like a professional analyst, Beyond Box Scores is the playbook that turns numbers into wins.
