1. Points
2. Rebounds
3. Assists
4. Steals

Points awarded -
25 pts - IF you guess the exact score of game.
10 pts - IF you guess the exact total points of game.
5 pts - IF you guess the exact point differential of game.
5 pts - IF you guess the Cavaliers exact scoring total of game.
5 pts - IF you guess the opponents exact scoring total of game.
5 pts - IF you guess which Cavalier's player leads in each of the 5 production categories and 3PM. For example, in the above sample entry I would need LeBron to lead the Cavs with 37 points. Only if its LeBron and he scores exactly 37 points am I awarded 5 points.

* The top 32 regular-season players advance to the playoffs, a 32 player single game elimination type tournament comprised of two 16 player brackets: Group A and Group B.
* The playoff seedings are based on who has the most points in the regular season standings. If two or more players have the same point total, the regular season tiebreakers determine the higher seed. The top 32 regular season players are listed in the Playoff Rankings.
* The player who scores the most points wins the game and advances to the next round. There are four rounds in each bracket, with the two bracket winners playing in the final tournament game.
* The regular-season champion is already guaranteed a spot in the championship match - a two game showdown. The tournament champion plays the regular season champion (unless the regular season champ wins the tournament also...then he/she wins outright).
* Tie scores will be decided by the playoff tiebreaker. Each round will have a different tiebreaker. Playoff tiebreaker example: "LeBron James free throw attempts".
- The two opposing players for that round cannot have the same playoff tiebreaker point tally. The first player to post has precedent. Observe to see if your opponent has already tallied his/her predictions when posting.
- In the event of a tie playoff tiebreaker: Player A predicts "LeBron 12 free throw attempts", Player B predicts "LeBron 8 free throw attempts" - and LeBron attempts 10 free throws!... the higher seeded player wins.
