Selected players stay in every suggestion. Out, doubtful, suspended and excluded players are not suggested. Search is bounded; suggestions are strong candidates, not a proven global optimum. Confirm final rotations and the operator’s contest rules before entering.

Reading the numbers & colors

FPPG is historical fantasy scoring supplied by the salary feed; it is not a forecast. Projection is an estimate. $/Pt uses your selected points basis: lower is better value. Green is the lowest-cost third of this slate, red the highest-cost third. Pale red rows cannot be added with your current salary or eligibility. A dash means the source did not supply a value.

Understand the build · scoring, data & limitations

Classic full-game NBA contests only. DraftKings: PG, SG, SF, PF, C, G, F, UTIL and a $50,000 cap. FanDuel: two PG, two SG, two SF, two PF, one C and a $60,000 cap. Multiple-position players can move to another eligible slot when you add a teammate. Lineups must cover at least two games; FanDuel allows at most four players from one team.

DraftKings scoring: points + 1.25×rebounds + 1.5×assists + 2×steals + 2×blocks − 0.5×turnovers + 0.5×made threes, with double/triple-double bonuses for actual results. FanDuel: points + 1.2×rebounds + 1.5×assists + 3×steals + 3×blocks − turnovers. Published fantasy averages use their source’s historical window. Rescored DraftKings projections, when available, omit double/triple-double bonuses. Projections and PPG are never silently mixed.
