That’s why having the right tools is critical. With Stokastic’s NBA DFS projections, NBA DFS ownership projections and Sims tools, you can build lineups optimized for both GPPs and cash games, giving yourself an edge over the competition.

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 targets for that slate. Rather than forcing plays, it’s often wiser to focus on slates where you have a clearer edge.
