Fanduel & Draftkings NBA DFS Research

Performing good research is the key to cashing your Fanduel & Draftkings NBA lineups on a consistent basis. I often find that my researched picks do far better over the long run than picks I get a good feeling about.

Good research gives you a huge edge on your competition because you can find players with huge upside that will be very low owned. The casual player conducts little to no research so investing your time in a comfortable research routine will pay enormous dividends to your lineups and your bankroll.

Where can I find today’s lineups for NBA Games?
