Make sure to follow us on Twitter for nightly updates of Rescued players.

What are Rescues?

If a player plays in the first half of the game but does not return in the second half for any reason (injury, ejection, etc.), your entry will be refunded, and you'll be given a Gimme Pick that'll appear in your lobby the next day. This only applies if you chose higher on the player's selection. Please note that not all NBA players are eligible for Rescue.

Entries must be valid to be rescued. Rescues will not go into effect if any other selection(s) in your entry are graded as a loss (assuming it is a valid entry). All entries impacted this way will be refunded, but only one special will be available per uniquely impacted player.

Rescues also apply for entries that use Flex. For example, if you have a Pick-5 entry where three selections are graded as a win, one selection is graded as a loss and the final selection doesn't return in the 2nd half (for any reason) of their game - your entry will be rescued.

Projections that are rescued for Streaks will automatically be refunded, and the Streak will be settled.

Partial game picks will not be eligible for Rescue.
