NBA DFS Projections Are BROKEN (We Fixed It)

Honestly, basically anyone who has played DFS in the last 12 years who isn't an absolute fish or who isn't 100% stuck on themselves having the 'eye' knows simply letting projections run in an optimizer without any settings is not how you win. The one thing is that if any sport is built for median projections it's NBA. Basically if you have highly optimal projections and can understand how to factor in ceilings and range of outcomes, you really have NBA. DFS nailed. There are a lot of people who are still not doing the right thing so I'll give you that but also I get it.

what are some pointers on how to factor ceilings and ROO in the sims/optos?

Hey we do this part automatically with our sim diversity slider. Learn more about how that works here: support.sabersim.com/en/articles/9970661-correlation-sim-diversity

Sabersim NBA projections need major overhaul I’m glad to see them addressing the problem.

[@SaberSim]

To be clear, this isn't a "major overhaul." We just want it to be clear we have the best projections in the industry and we're trying to find ways to separate ourselves from the pack

[@ctrain03]

Only problem is that it’s not a secret weapon so there are thousands of people running same software and same lineup late swap

[@SaberSim]

SaberSim users are still only a subset of the overall DFS ecosystem at the end of the day

[@ctrain03]

Average lineup optimizers do great in mlb. Hand made lineups in nfl work well. But this might be right about nba dfs.

[@NealJaworski]

You announced today that you are hiring people to fix your NBA model. Maybe you should consider taking this video down?

[@SaberSim]

We're not "crowdsourcing projections." We're hiring experts who can add value to our sim inputs, that's it.
