NBA Lineup Optimizer Advice

The process kicks off by selecting three key options. First, pick your desired DFS slate between DraftKings main and FanDuel Main.

Looking for the best NBA DFS lineups today? Our NBA Lineup Optimizer is a key tool to use, which we highlight here while giving advice...

Next, choose your ownership setting. I usually opt for contrarian lineups because I enjoy playing GPPs, but you can also select from all lineups, chalky lineups or balanced lineups.

Lastly, you have the option to lock in a player based on optimal percentage, projection or boom percentage. You can also skip this step if you’d like.

Today I selected DraftKings Main, contrarian and skip. You can see here that the boom percentage really likes Anthony Davis with LeBron James out and Nikola Jokic in a pace-up spot against Indiana, so keep an eye on lineups with them in it. If you’re playing cash games like double-ups or three-mans, you could also select balanced or chalky for better projected lineups.

You can get some of the same players in all types of lineups. As long as you adjust the uniqueness based on the size and type of contest you’re playing, it’s all good.

After saving 20 lineups, the highest exposures I ended with were 70% Precious Achiuwa, 45% Austin Reeves and 45% Nikola Jokic.

Here’s a sample of a lineup that resulted from these selections.

This lineup projects for 273.61 points and includes Achiuwa and Reeves but not Jokic. It does include Anthony Davis, who is our top boom play of the day. This lineup has three Lakers in it, as there is a lot of usage up for grabs with no LeBron James. It gets unique with an 8.2%-owned Mikal Bridges and a 6.4%-owned T.J. McConnell, who has a high ceiling with Tyrese Haliburton out tonight. The lineup uses all $50,000 in salary and has a nice balance of projection and uniqueness. I like this lineup for single-entry tournaments and large-field GPPs.

Exposure for the 20 lineups I saved:

It’s important to note these exposures are based completely off my settings. As a reminder, you can change between lineup builds and save lineups along the way. In total, I had 20 lineups saved in less than five minutes. That’s what makes this such a great NBA DFS tool for newer players and players who don’t have enough time to research +EV plays before lock.

Most of the injury news for tonight has been settled but we do still have Kris Dunn questionable, who has been starting for Utah. If he’s unable to go, Keyonte George will become a nice value play at $4,300 and we could see a few more minutes for Jordan Clarkson and Collin Sexton. Lucky for us, Lineup Generator projections are updated automatically, so just run the generator closer to lock and we will get a +EV lineup to cash in tonight. It also makes it easy to export your lineups to CSV file, so you can just point and click to upload them to DraftKings.
