NBA DFS Tools and Data for 2025

NBA Single-Lineup Simulator

If you enjoy playing single-entry contests or prefer hand-building your NBA lineups, the Single-Lineup Simulator is a must-have tool. It allows you to create your lineup manually and then simulates it against the field, using the same advanced technology as our full NBA DFS Sims. You can now determine whether your lineup is delivering positive returns — or if you’ve been missing key opportunities for profit.

The Single-Lineup Simulator also offers detailed metrics, showing how often your lineup finishes first, cracks the top 10, or cashes in over multiple simulations. This tool is perfect for refining your single-entry approach and improving your results in NBA DFS.

NBA Contest Generator

Generate a tailored lineup pool that aligns with the NBA DFS ownership projections for any slate. Compare the projected ownership to your actual entries and adjust exposures using the “Boost Ownership” feature to optimize player selections within your pool.

NBA Pre-Contest Simulator

Simulate your lineup’s performance before the contest begins! This tool runs thousands of simulations, providing key metrics like simulated ROI, allowing you to quickly pinpoint the best-performing lineups before locking them in.

NBA Post-Contest Simulator

Post-contest evaluation is crucial for long-term NBA DFS success. The Post-Contest Simulator offers simulations of the actual lineups entered into contests, combining performance and ROI metrics over thousands of simulated runs. Compare your lineup strategies with real-world outcomes to identify which approaches are consistently profitable.
