Daily Fantasy Basketball: Understanding Split Statistics

Stats are great.

And if you've come to numberFire, you probably don't need to be told that.

But stats can also be misleading. That's why certain, advanced stats can help you get a leg up on the competition if they're looking solely at the box scores.

At the end of the night, though, the only stats that really matter in daily fantasy basketball are points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and turnovers -- provided you're playing on FanDuel.

While certain marks such as Usage Rate will go a long way for your research, that doesn't mean those traditional stats can't be of use -- especially when we break them down.

That's where split stats come in.
