Are there rules about the player's position? I'm seeing people who have James Harden listed as their PG and others as their SG. Do you just pick any 5 players and list them as whatever position or is there some rule about them being inserted only as their listed position?
Boston has 17 games until November 21
Philadelphia has 19 games until November 21
What's better, a 12-5 or 13-6 record? Do we go by number of wins or .PCT?
Great point... the winner will determined by Percentage. Ex: Team A has a winning percentage of .781/Team B has a winning percentage of .767..Team A wins.

The person with the highest SCORING team average will be the winner. The contest finishes the day before Thanksgiving on Nov 21st. (We include Nov 21st games).
We will add up your NBA teams scoring average to determine the winner.
Ex: your team averages are 32.2,16,8,15.0, 22.0, and 39.0 points ...this equals 125 points for the team
One last question. What's 'AVERAGE'? How is it calculated? How are players who sit out games accounted for? Does a total number of points scored matter? What if a player like Westbrook who just had a surgery, plays 2 games with a very high PPG but then doesn't play until January because he needs extra time to heal an injury? Does his 60 point PPG (hypothetical) count for everyone who picked him? Shouldn't there be a minimum number of minutes/games a player must play for his PPG to count?
To simplify things, shouldn't TOTAL points be counted for each team rather than averages?
Example:
Curry plays 48 minutes in every game and scores on average 30 points, for a total of 18x30 = 540 points.
Westbrook plays 36 minutes in every game and scores on average 30 points, for a total of 16x35 = 576 points.
Lebron James plays 30 minutes in 10 games and sits out the rest (injury/rest/whatever), scoring on average 40 points a game, for a total of 10x40 = 400 points.
Curry's averages:
30 PPG, 22.5 points per 36 minutes
Westbrook's averages:
30 PPG, 30 points per 36 minutes
Lebron's averages:
40 PPG, 48 points per 36 minutes (but the lowest total points of the three players in the example)
