A packed NBA DFS slate means stiffer competition, where only the sharpest players will thrive. Simply guessing won’t cut it — successful DFS players rely on NBA DFS projections, NBA DFS ownership projections and Sims tools to pinpoint the best cash game and GPP picks.
But even the most precise strategy can fall apart if you’re caught off guard by last-minute news. Late scratches or surprise lineup changes can wreck your lineup—unless you’re prepared. Stay ahead of the curve with our NBA DFS Starting Lineups Page, so you can make sure your lineups are fully optimized before tip-off.
Ready to level up beyond DFS? Portfolio EV is the best tool for identifying +EV bets, using data to guide your decisions. If long-term profitability is your goal, it’s time to start leveraging it.
NBA DFS GPP Picks: Best Cash Game & Quick Picks for EVERY GAME
If you see “N/A” in the Chalk and Cash Game sections, it means there aren’t any obvious high-ownership value plays or strong contrarian GPP options for that matchup. In those situations, shifting your focus to other games may be your best move.
