Free NBA Fantasy Weekly Matchup Projections

How a week is projected

  • A win chance per category against this week's opponent.
  • Volume: each team's remaining NBA games this week, times the player's play rate over his team's last 10 games; an injury listing removes the games before his return.
  • FG% and FT%: made over attempted, sampled together, so a high-volume team carries a steadier percentage.
  • One correlated draw per team: points, threes and field goals move together, and a missed game removes every stat.
  • Swing: a category whose win chance sits between 35% and 65%.

Disclosed limits

  • Every game a rostered player plays counts: no daily lineup cap.
  • Rosters are held fixed for the rest of the week.
  • Teammates on the same NBA team are treated as independent.
  • A day-to-day tag is shown, not discounted.
  • A streamer is priced with the drop that costs the week least: the rostered player with the fewest expected games left.
