Challenge friends in Fantasy, make free game and player picks, and play free 5v5 basketball. Rivle brings your sports takes, friendly rivalries and games together. FANTASY AGAINST YOUR FRIENDS Choose an available upcoming NBA or NFL matchup and challenge a friend. Each rival drafts three players from the two teams. Players are exclusive: once your rival picks someone, that player is no longer available to you. Follow your players' live points and the head-to-head score as the game unfolds. Friendly battles are private challenges and do not affect your Fantasy reputation. TRY RANKED Ready for another opponent? Play Ranked Fantasy and build a separate Fantasy reputation.

FREE GAME AND PLAYER PICKS Choose game winners and make player picks against Rivle's stat targets.

Picks and Fantasy have separate records, so you can follow both parts of your sports season. FREE 5v5 BASKETBALL Open Games for full-court, five-on-five basketball. Build your team, play through a season and develop your players through training. Take a break from making picks and put a little more game in your day.
