About NBA Optimizer

NBA Optimizer is a free daily-fantasy lineup tool: tonight's DraftKings slates, a projection for every player, and as many lineups as you need, ready to upload.

Where the numbers come from

• Salaries, positions and injury tags: DraftKings’ public player lists, the same file every DraftKings contest page offers, read again every 10 minutes.
• Betting totals: ESPN’s free scoreboard, which carries the DraftKings line for each game.
• Minutes: ESPN’s free season statistics. When a player is listed Out, his minutes go to the teammates who play his positions.
• Projections: our own, built from the numbers above and explained on the NBA DFS projections page. They are estimates, not advice.
• Player photos and team colours: free-licensed pictures from Wikimedia Commons, each photographer named on the photo credits page; team colours from ESPN. We show no team logos: they belong to the teams.

What the tool does not do

We take no bets and no contest entries, and we are not linked to DraftKings, FanDuel, the NBA or the NFL. You need no account: the optimizer runs in your browser, and a FanDuel player list you load never leaves your device.

Play responsibly

Daily fantasy contests are for adults: 18 or older, 21 where your state requires it. If playing stops being fun, call 1-800-GAMBLER.
