Drive To The Finals Rules

Pick one player per game day, collect their box-score STATs, and manage your roster across the playoffs. The twist is simple: once you use a player, you usually cannot use them again.

Scoring

Each day, pick one player who is playing that day.
You earn one STAT for each point, rebound, assist, steal, and block your player records.
Whoever has the most total STATs at the end of the NBA Finals wins.

Example: 30 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 3 blocks equals 50 STATs.

Picking Players

You can make picks in advance.
You can only use a player once, so saving stars for later rounds can matter.
Once your selected player's game starts, that pick is locked and cannot be changed.
You can change a pick until that player's game starts.

Locks And Deadlines

Once a game begins, players from that game are no longer available to pick.
You have until the final game of the day starts to make a pick.
Game times are shown above each matchup on My Picks.

Zero Picks

If your player finishes with 0 STATs, it is treated as a zero pick.
A zero-pick player can be selected again later.
There is no STAT multiplier by round.

Stats Updates

Stats come from official NBA box-score data.
Stats can change if official NBA stat corrections are made.
Live stats update regularly during game windows. Standings update after games are finalized.

Premium League Prizes
