NBA DraftKings Sims DFS Picks

Victor Wembanyama

It’s fun to play DraftKings and FanDuel and hope to win six or even seven figures, but sims have broken the experience. Some DFS sites, a few of which are run by very sketchy characters, charge upwards of $400 or $500 per month for their sims. This creates a heavy imbalance between the sharks and the casual players. 

I’ve created a program that spits out analysis of what these sims provide. I can’t give you full lineups because DraftKings will ban me, but I can give you the thought process behind the sims lineup generation and a partial lineup to go with it.

My developer will be adding new features to paid subscribers as well, so look for that in the near future. If you don’t want to pay, please spread the word about the site through word of mouth. That would also be a big help!

Analysis

Lineup 1 is the highest-projection leverage build. Alvarado CPT is the salary unlock, letting you fit Wemby/KAT/Fox/OG/Vassell while avoiding a standard star-CPT optimizer build.

Lineup 2 is the strongest true game-script lineup: KAT and Wemby both fail relative to ownership, while OG/Hart/Brunson win through minutes, defense, and peripherals.

Lineup 3 is a Wemby ceiling script where KAT/Brunson disappoint. It’s fragile, but much less duplicated than a normal Wemby CPT build.

Lineup 4 is frontcourt chaos: Robinson gets there through rebounds/blocks/putbacks while the expensive stars still score enough underneath.

Lineup 5 is KAT/Wemby plus Spurs secondary usage. Castle and Champagnie are the leverage pieces; this assumes Fox is good but not necessary.
