NBA DFS Lineup Study 3/21/2022
Welcome to today’s NBA DFS Lineup Study review article. In this article, we’re going to take a look at the winning lineups from the popular 20 max and 150 max tournaments on Draftkings.
The purpose of this review will be to identify roster construction trends that will help us make better lineup decisions as we construct our own lineups each day.
Make sure you’re in our Free Discord chat as myself and hundreds of our members discuss these strategies daily, also, if you’re not doing so already, make sure you’re following all of the Rise or Fall social media accounts so you don’t miss any breaking news.
I’ll be using Fantasy Cruncher to help me review each of these lineups. All of our Rise or Fall members save $20 per month on their Fantasy Cruncher subscription, so, if you’re not signed up yet, what are you waiting for?

For the lineup study, we are looking at the winners of the $15 150 max and the $4 20 max on Draftkings only. For like sized slates today, I compared the 5 slates I have tracked in the 5-9 game range as last night was a 7 game slate.
Today’s thought is about salary. The question gets asked a lot in our discord, “How much salary is too much salary to leave on the table”? I am here to tell you that in NBA, the winning lineups don’t like to leave salary on the table. Here is a crazy stat for you, over 24 winning lineups I have studied, only 1 lineup had more than $200 left on the table when it was all said and done. That means that 96% of the time the winners used at lease $49,800 in salary to create their winning lineups. The salary is there. Just use it, salary is not the place to get cute with your lineups in NBA DFS.
Let’s get to the stats.
Last night, the 2 winning lineups combined to use 11 players.
