NBA DFS Lineup Study 3/31/2022
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 NBA lineup study, we are looking at the winners of the $15 150 max and the $4 20 max on Draftkings only. Please note, last night DK’s 150 max was an $18 contest instead of the normal $15. For like sized slates today, I compared the slates I have tracked in the 10 and over game range as last night was an 11 game slate.
Let’s get to the stats.
Last night, the 2 winning lineups combined to use 13 players.
