How does the NBA DraftKings lineup optimizer work?

FanScout's DraftKings lineup optimizer pulls today's slate data — salaries, projected fantasy points, and recent form — into a single sortable table. Click any player to add them to your lineup builder. The builder tracks remaining salary in real time so you can fill all 8 classic slots (or 6 Showdown slots) without going over the $50,000 cap.

What lineup slots does DraftKings NBA use?

DraftKings NBA classic contests use 8 lineup slots: PG, SG, SF, PF, C, G (guard flex), F (forward flex), and UTIL (any position). Showdown/single-game contests use 6 slots: 1 CPT (captain, priced at 1.5× salary) and 5 FLEX spots.

What is the DraftKings NBA salary cap?

DraftKings NBA contests use a $50,000 salary cap for both classic and Showdown slates. In Showdown contests, the captain slot costs 1.5× the player's listed salary and earns 1.5× fantasy points. FanScout automatically accounts for this in the remaining salary calculation.

How do I pick the best DraftKings NBA players for tonight?

Sort by Value (projected points per $1,000 salary) to find the most efficient players, then cross-reference recent form using the L10, L5, and L1 fantasy point columns. Players with high projected points, a favorable opponent, and consistent recent output are the strongest candidates for your lineup.

What is the difference between the All Games and Showdown slates on DraftKings?

The All Games (classic) slate includes players from every NBA game that day and uses 8 lineup slots with a $50,000 cap. Showdown slates are single-game contests featuring only two teams, using 6 slots (1 CPT + 5 FLEX) where the captain earns 1.5× points but costs 1.5× salary.
