Stokastic pros are starting the year off strong with NBA DFS wins, and thanks to the NEW Stokastic+ NBA package, so can you! Our very own Greg Ehrenberg is proof of that; we are not even a full week into the 2023-24 NBA season, and already he has topped the standings in two huge contests! This time it was a solo win, with Greg taking home a cool $100,000 in the DraftKings NBA $400K Fadeaway:
Another win to start the season! I really couldn’t be more appreciative to our team at @Stokastic_Com who made amazing new tools this year. And thanks to everybody who has been dming me and messaging to sweat the slate with me. It was a great night! pic.twitter.com/Nxg7twJayK

Let’s take a look at Greg’s winning lineup — and we cannot overstate this: Greg’s use of Stokastic’s NBA DFS tools had a big helping hand. With everything from contest sims to lineups generator to projections, Stokastic’s NBA package is the winning ingredient in boosting your daily fantasy process.
Greg’s Winning NBA DFS Lineup & Strategy
The strategy with any NBA DFS slate is figuring out beforehand A) How the players will perform, and B) How the field will roster said players. Sounds obvious, no? The thing is, predicting those things exactly is obviously impossible; there’s no way to know for sure how either of those things will happen ahead of time. But now we can get pretty darn close.
With Greg’s simulations of the slate using Stokastic’s NBA DFS contest sims, he was able to determine which players were most likely to be chalk, which would be contrarian and how likely they were to be worth their salaries and ownership. And lo and behold, just about everything hit for him. He went chalky with the Cavaliers — all were basically 40% owned and up — but the sims made it clear that was worth eating. Caris LeVert (64.8% owned), Evan Mobley (40.7%) and Max Strus (39.6%) all were absolute smashes at their price points. But each of the other top 5 lineups also rostered those guys, so where did Greg get differentiation?
First of all, only one other top-5 lineup included Joel Embiid as the top stud, and Embiid’s 63.25 fantasy points paid off his five-digit salary nicely. Others used Jalen Duren (another mega-boom) at center like Greg did, but not a soul among the 10 best lineups of the night had Naz Reid anywhere. That was probably the slate-winning move for Greg (as well as 33 fantasy points at $3,900 from a modestly owned Ziaire Williams); Reid was just $4,400 yet bagged Greg 42.5 fantasy points at only 3.3% rostership.
In the end, Greg cleared the field by 10 fantasy points (aka a blowout), with the difference between him and second place the same as the difference between second and seventh.
Once again, you cannot forget the Stokastic difference; Greg made the most of his lineups last night with the help of Stokastic’s elite NBA DFS tools, contests sims and projections. These tools allowed him to differentiate between the good and bad chalk while also pinpointing the leverage points and the players with serious boom potential.
