A tight NBA DFS slate means competition is fierce, and only the sharpest players rise to the top. If you’re relying on gut instincts, you’re already behind. The best DFS players use cutting-edge NBA DFS projections, NBA DFS ownership projections and Sims tools to pinpoint the top plays.
But even the best strategy falls apart if you’re caught off guard by late-breaking news. A single lineup change can wreck your roster — unless you’re prepared. Stay ahead of the chaos with our NBA DFS Starting Lineups Page, ensuring your lineups are optimized right up to tip-off.
