In fantasy basketball, the number of **PG (Point Guard) slots** depends on the specific league settings, but here are the most common configurations:
### **Standard ESPN Fantasy Basketball**
– **PG slots:** **1**
– **Guard slots (G):** 2 (can be filled by PG or SG)
– So you can start **up to 3 PGs** if you put them in PG + both G slots.
### **Standard Yahoo Fantasy Basketball**
– **PG slots:** **1**
– **Guard slots (G):** 1 (can be PG or SG)
– So you can start **up to 2 PGs** (PG + G slots).
### **Common Roster Setup (9-Category Head-to-Head)**
A typical roster might look like:
– **PG:** 1
– **SG:** 1
– **G:** 1 (PG or SG)
– **SF:** 1
– **PF:** 1
– **F:** 1 (SF or PF)
– **C:** 1
– **Utility (UTIL):** 1-3 (any position)
– **Bench:** varies
So while there’s usually **only 1 dedicated PG slot**, the **Guard (G)** and **Utility (UTIL)** slots allow you to start **additional point guards** if you choose.
### **Key Takeaway**
– **Dedicated PG slots:** Usually **1**
– **Maximum possible PGs in starting lineup:** Typically **3-4** depending on league settings (using G and UTIL spots).
– **Check your league settings** to confirm, as commissioners can customize positions.
If you’re drafting, it’s important to know not just PG slots but also **total guard-eligible slots** to maximize flexibility.
