FanDuel vs DraftKings: Key NBA Differences
FanDuel NBA uses a $60,000 salary cap with 9 roster spots: PG, PG, SG, SG, SF, SF, PF, PF, and C. Unlike DraftKings, FanDuel does not offer double-double or triple-double bonuses, which means pure scorers and specialists hold more value relative to all-around players.
The key to FanDuel NBA success is targeting players in pace-up matchups who benefit from increased possessions. FanDuel's dual-position roster slots (two PGs, two SGs, etc.) create different positional scarcity dynamics than DraftKings. Our optimizer accounts for these FanDuel-specific constraints automatically.
FanDuel NBA Scoring & Strategy
FanDuel NBA scoring is straightforward: points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and turnovers with no bonuses for double-doubles or triple-doubles. This means pure scorers and defensive specialists can be undervalued compared to DraftKings where all-around stat-stuffers get bonus points.
With a $60,000 salary cap and 9 roster spots, FanDuel NBA requires careful salary allocation. Target players with increased minutes due to injuries or rest days. The optimizer's injury alerts help you identify value plays before ownership catches up, giving you an edge in both cash games and tournaments.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a FanDuel lineup optimizer?
- A FanDuel lineup optimizer is a tool that uses algorithms to build the highest-projected fantasy lineups while respecting FanDuel's salary cap constraints, roster requirements, and your custom settings like player locks, exposure limits, and stacking preferences. Instead of manually building lineups, the optimizer generates mathematically optimal combinations in seconds.
- How is FanDuel scoring different from DraftKings?
- FanDuel uses half-PPR scoring for NFL (0.5 points per reception vs. DraftKings' full PPR), different salary caps ($60,000 for NFL vs. $50,000 on DraftKings), and different roster constructions. For NBA, FanDuel doesn't offer double-double or triple-double bonuses like DraftKings. These differences significantly impact optimal lineup construction.
- How much does the FTA FanDuel optimizer cost?
- FTA+ memberships start at just $9.99/week or $29.99/month, making it one of the most affordable DFS optimizer tools available. This includes full access to the lineup optimizer for both FanDuel and DraftKings, ownership projections, player props, and all premium features across NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL.
- Can I optimize for both FanDuel and DraftKings?
- Yes. FTA+ includes full optimizer access for both FanDuel and DraftKings across all sports. You can switch between platforms instantly and build lineups optimized for each site's unique scoring, salary caps, and roster requirements.
- How do ownership projections work on FanDuel?
- Ownership projections estimate the percentage of lineups in a FanDuel contest that will roster each player. In tournaments (GPPs), finding low-owned players with high upside creates leverage. FanDuel ownership patterns differ from DraftKings due to scoring and salary differences, so site-specific projections are critical for building differentiated lineups.
