NBA DFS Projections Today

When the NBA has a main slate with posted projections, this page lists every player on it, ranked by projected fantasy points, with salary and value alongside each one. This is the same projection set that feeds the NBA lineup builder and NBA trends page, not a separate one-off number.

Reading the table

Projection is the model's expected fantasy points for the slate. FD Salary and DK Salary are the player's prices on FanDuel and DraftKings; a dash means that price is not posted yet. Value divides projection by FanDuel salary (per $1,000), so a cheap player who still scores well ranks higher on value than a projected star already priced at the top of the pool. Sort mentally by either column depending on whether you need points or cap room.

NBA projections are not available right now.

The projections table returns when the next NBA main slate is published.

Frequently asked questions

How often are these NBA projections updated?

Daily, once the day's projections are published. The page rebuilds on a schedule, and the time it shows reflects the actual data run, not just when the page happened to load.

Where does the projection number come from?

Projections come from our daily data pipeline. It is the same projection set that feeds the lineup builder and the trends page.

What does "value" mean in the table?

Projected points per $1,000 of salary. A higher value means a player is priced cheap relative to how much he's projected to score, which helps you find salary-cap room without giving up projected points.

Does this cover both DraftKings and FanDuel?

The table shows both FanDuel and DraftKings salaries for each player. Projections and value are based on FanDuel's main slate and scoring. For DraftKings roster rules and DraftKings-scored projections, use the lineup builder, which switches platforms and re-prices the full pool automatically.

Can I turn these projections into a lineup automatically?

Yes. The lineup builder uses the same underlying projections and fills a full roster inside the salary cap, with locks and exclusions if you want more control.
