Java: Conditions Evaluate to "always true" or "always false" [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

• Java Boolean In 'IF' Statement Not Functioning [closed] 3 answers

public static void scoreCount () {

    if(playerWon && botWon = false) {
        playerScore++;
    } else  if (playerWon = false && botWon){
        botScore++;
    }


}

For the first if statement, it says "variable expected" for playerWon and botWon. For the second if statement, it says that the condition will always evaluate to false. Any ideas as to why? Thanks in advance!
