NBA DFS Lineup Generator
Generate NBA lineups for the DraftKings contests you enter yourself, up to 150 at a time, in a file ready to upload.

The NBA plays most nights from October into June, so there is a new slate, and a new set of lineups to build, almost every day. The Lineup Generator is our NBA DFS lineup optimizer for DraftKings: it builds the whole set in one pass and gives you a file to upload.
Built for DraftKings NBA
NBA runs on DraftKings, in both formats DraftKings offers.
- Classic: eight roster spots (PG, SG, SF, PF, C, G, F, UTIL) under a $50,000 salary cap.
- Showdown Captain Mode: six players from one game, with a Captain who scores 1.5 times the points, and both teams in the lineup.
The Generator fills those spots for you and keeps every lineup under the cap. Projections are built in, so the only file you bring is the entries file you download from DraftKings.
A full night of entries, built once
A big NBA tournament takes up to a hundred and fifty entries. Typing that many lineups into a phone is slow, and one wrong tap leaves a spot empty. The Generator builds up to 150 lineups in a single build, each one filling its own entry in the file you send back.
- Lock the player you want in every lineup, and ban the one you want in none.
- Cap how often a player shows up across the set, and set a floor for one you want in.
- Swap any player on a finished lineup by hand before you download.
- Read why each lineup was picked, one at a time.
Each setting starts on a default. Build the set first, then change only what you want to.
From DraftKings and back
- Enter your NBA contests on DraftKings, then download the entries file.
- Drop it into the Generator and build. Every entry comes back with its own lineup.
- Download the finished file and upload it on the same DraftKings page. The entries fill together.
The Generator does not sign in to DraftKings and does not place entries. The lineups are for contests you enter yourself, with your own money. For the other sports and sites, see the DFS lineup optimizer page, and for the terms, the Learn hub covers the salary cap, Classic and Showdown, and exposure.
