Daily Fantasy Basketball: An Introduction to Cash Games

One of the great things about daily fantasy sports is that you can get creative with your lineups.

You can start that second-string tight end or point guard who you think is going to have a monstrous day and who won't be in anybody else's lineups. If it doesn't pan out, then you get to start fresh next time you decide to play.

And while there's some glory in nailing that backup player's big game, that's not exactly something you need to look for time and time again.

That's especially not true when playing a cash game in daily fantasy basketball.
