Whether you're chasing that elusive perfect lineup on DraftKings, FanDuel, or beyond, our Daily Fantasy Playbook breaks down the top value plays, studs to build around, and sneaky sleepers that could propel your roster to the top of the leaderboard. From high-octane matchups to injury updates and pace projections, we've got the insights to help you dominate tonight's action and turn your NBA knowledge into cold, hard cash. 

 

 

Before actually diving into the meat and potatoes, welcome to the NBA DFS season. If this is your first time reading our column on NBA DFS picks, I just want to welcome you and give you a few tips and tricks on what you should be looking for each night.

  • News outlets: reliable sources that give us injury news & starting lineups
  • Pace of play: who's playing fast vs. who's playing slow. Which teams get a pace-up spot (more possessions) vs. pace-down (fewer possessions)
  • Usage rates: is a percentage of how many plays that player is being used in
  • NBA DFS Projections
  • Lineup Generator
  • NBA Ownership
