Our main goal is to provide the highest-quality, actionable information you need to win at NBA DFS. It takes a ton of effort and work to follow the NBA and predict what will happen, and ultimately our job is to make that process easier for you. With that in mind, here is our daily content schedule for the 2026-27 NBA season, which begins Oct. 20 and will have slates nearly every day for the next seven months. Subscribers to our in-season package will have access through the NBA Finals.

BELOW IS A GENERIC SAMPLE OF A SCHEDULE. THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE BASED ON SLATE START TIME AND DAY OF WEEK.
BASE TEMPLATE PROJECTIONS AND OWNERSHIP PROJECTIONS BY 12 P.M. ET: SEVEN DAYS PER WEEK
*First runs of projections will be a rough estimate of where finalized DFS projections will finish. Before 5 PM ET DFS projections will have an adjustment made to every player that slightly randomizes the projection from final projection. Final DFS projections will reveal at 5 PM ET and update continuously on news and information throughout the final game’s lock.
* We use our proprietary algorithm, a unique understanding of player usage, matchups, and more to emerge with a fantasy-point projection for every player on every slate. These will be for both DraftKings and FanDuel formats. Our projections run seven days a week for every player in every game.
DFS TOP PLAYS SHOW 3 P.M. ET: FIVE DAYS PER WEEK (2 P.M. ET on Fridays)
* We provide context to the projections, discussing the best plays of the slate with an eye on fragility of role. A transcript of the show will be provided shortly after the completion of the show. In that transcript, we will provide a table that generates the top plays by position for DraftKings and FanDuel. This table is automated and generated by the players that appear most frequently in optimal lineups.
ESTBALISH THE SHOW LIVE SHOW 5 P.M. ET: FIVE DAYS PER WEEK
* Our team, featuring high-stakes NBA DFS professional Drew Dinkmeyer, Mike Gallagher, and others, goes live two hours before lock five days per week, Monday through Friday. They will go game-by-game, discussing how to attack the slate from both a cash-game and tournament perspective.
FINALIZED DFS PROJECTIONS BY 5 P.M. ET: SEVEN DAYS PER WEEK
*At 5 PM ET (or stated before in our discord when earlier slates exist), DFS projections will be presented without any randomness adjustment added. This will be considered the final “first run” of DFS projections. Projections will then update continuously on news and information throughout the final game’s lock.
* We use our proprietary algorithm, a unique understanding of player usage, matchups, and more to emerge with a fantasy-point projection for every player on every slate. These will be for both DraftKings and FanDuel formats. Our projections run seven days a week for every player in every game.
SCENARIO DFS PROJECTIONS BY 5 P.M. ET: SEVEN DAYS PER WEEK
*At 5 PM ET (or stated before in our discord when earlier slates exist), Scenario DFS projections will be presented without any randomness adjustment added. This will provide alternative scenarios of projections based on the day’s key injuries. For example, if Luka Doncic is questionable we’ll provide projections that include Luka Doncic in and scenario projections that include Luka Doncic out. Projections will then update continuously on news and information throughout the final game’s lock.
OFFICE HOURS 10 A.M. ET EVERY OTHER THURSDAY
* A bi-monthly stream, delivered every Thursday, with Drew Dinkmeyer that answers all of your questions around NBA DFS. The goal of office hours is to interact directly with customers and be able to screen share statistics or tools to help teach tournament strategy to subscribers.
GALLAGHER’S MATCHUPS COLUMN 2 P.M. ET: THREE DAYS PER WEEK
* Three times per week (typically Monday, Wednesday, and Friday), our renowned fantasy basketball analyst Mike Gallagher dives deep into the matchups and emerges with 5-10 of the most important nuggets for each game.
UNDERDOG DAILY GAME RANKINGS 11 A.M. ET SEVEN DAYS PER WEEK
* We provide rankings for Underdog Daily Games. These rankings are a mix of half base projection and half ceiling projections. Rankings will “show” here before they go live on site for DFS projections, when this is the case it represents the “first run” of projections from the minutes team the night before. These may often have status changes on the injury report that haven’t yet been updated by the morning team. Consider these first AM runs very fragile to later day news. They automatically update throughout the day as we update projections.
DEPTH CHARTS
* Our Depth Charts are the industry standard. They continuously update to reflect injuries and the latest rotation changes around the league.
DISCORD NBA INFO CHANNEL
* Subscribers will have access to a new discord channel created to provide news and information about lineup changes, player injuries, and projection updates. ETR staff will communicate in this channel with news and notes providing context around projection updates. Posts will be made daily in this channel after 5 PM EST. This channel will also be used to provide updates to projection release timelines if final projections will be released before 5 PM ET on a day due to NBA scheduling.
NEW DISCORD NBA LINEUP REVIEW EVERY THURSDAY
* Subscribers will have access to a weekly Q&A in our NBA Lineup Review channel where a member of the ETR NBA team answers questions on lineups used from a previous slate and provides feedback on how to improve your lineup making process.
NEW NBA LEVERAGE SHOW ONCE A MONTH
* Every second Monday of the month, ETR will host a DFS strategy show specifically geared towards tournaments. The show will feature insights and analysis geared towards improving your tournament play.
