High Score, Yahoo's new fantasy basketball format, is all about upside. However, understanding the positional advantages is key to building a high-performing roster. Since your score comes from each starter's best game of the week, getting the right guards could prove to be a difference-maker.

Below is a tiered breakdown of the guards in High Score. You'll want to get as many prolific scorers and playmakers as you can, since assists are worth 2x more points than rebounds.
