Lineup optimizer
An NBA DFS lineup optimizer that builds from your calls
Pick the players you believe in, exclude the ones you don't, cap how often anyone appears, and let the builder do the salary-cap math. One lineup for a single-entry contest or a full set for a 150-max tournament.
- Lock, exclude and set a max exposure on any player
- Max players per team, and a lineup count that follows the contest
- Build styles for Double Up / single-entry and small-field to 150-max GPPs

Player projections

- Proj, Floor and Ceiling (p10 / p90) for every player
- Projected minutes, Val/1K and Own% side by side
- Implied team total, game total and spread from the betting market

Injury news & minutes
NBA injury news that moves the projections, not just a feed
We watch injury and lineup news all afternoon. When a player is ruled out, his minutes go to the teammates who'll actually play them, and the team is re-projected: minutes, points, range and ownership.
- Injury and lineup updates, newest first, refreshed every minute
- Out tonight and Questionable lists grouped by team
- The newest dated report wins over an older one

Ownership projections
Projected ownership that moves when the news does
Every player shows an estimated share of lineups that will roster him, and the estimate updates with the news. When a starter is ruled out, the field tends to pile onto his replacement, and the estimate moves with it before lock.
- Own% for every player on the slate
- Moves with injury news, not frozen at noon
- Sort by ownership to see the chalk at a glance

- Live game status next to your entries
- Players in started games stay frozen in their slots
- Each contest keeps its own settings and strategy

Tournaments and cash games, built differently
Your entries file can hold a 150-max tournament and a Double Up on the same night. They need different lineups, and the builder knows which is which.
- Contests read straight from your entries file
- A suggested build style for each contest
- One set of choices for the whole file, or GPP and Double Up separate

Value plays
Find the NBA DFS value plays the news just created
Value is projected points per $1,000 of salary. When news hands a cheap player starter's minutes, his salary doesn't move but his projection does, and he shoots up the list.
- Val/1K for every player, sortable
- A Plays page that ranks the slate's value picks
- Minutes and range next to value, so you can see why
