What NBA contest formats are available during the playoffs on Splash Sports β€” Tiers, and QuickPicks β€” and how each one works.

Updated this week

The NBA Playoffs bring some of the best basketball of the year β€” and Splash Sports has contests to match. Here's everything you need to know about how NBA Playoff contests work and what formats are available.


What Formats Are Available During the NBA Playoffs?

Splash Sports offers the following NBA contest formats during the playoffs:

  • NBA Tiers β€” Draft one player from each tier and compete based on total fantasy points across playoff games.

  • QuickPicks β€” Make player prop-style picks on individual player performances for a given slate.

⚠️ Entertainment-Only (self-managed) NBA Playoffs contests are not currently available. If you're looking to run a private NBA Playoff contest, Tiers are the available Splash-managed options.


NBA Tiers During the Playoffs

NBA Tiers contests are available as single-game, single-day, or multi-round playoff formats β€” depending on what's currently running in the lobby. You select one player from each of six tiers, and your total fantasy points determine your standing.

Check the Contest Lobby and filter by NBA to see what playoff Tiers contests are currently available to enter.


QuickPicks During the Playoffs

QuickPicks lets you make over/under style picks on individual player stats for a given slate of playoff games. Entries are matched against other players, and the entry with the most correct picks wins.

  2. Go to the Contest Lobby and filter by NBA

  3. Select an available playoff contest and enter before the deadline
