NBA Player Projections Today

NBA projections today for every player

Our NBA player projections table shows a player-by-player view of expected production across the current NBA slate. Each row includes projected points, rebounds, assists, 3-pointers made, blocks, steals, turnovers, combined stats such as PRA, and a DFS fantasy score. The table covers all 30 NBA teams, so you can compare players across matchups. 

Use the search and table controls to narrow the list by player, team, or date, then sort by the stat you want to research. You can also download the table as a CSV for spreadsheet work or lineup-building tools. 

NBA player projections tonight

Our NBA player projections are updated daily and refreshed through the day for availability. Updates can become more important as tip-off approaches, when injury reports or late lineup news affect expected minutes and player output. 

That cadence means the forecast can change between an earlier check and a later update as player availability changes. Before using a projection for tonight's games, check the latest injury report and any confirmed availability news.

NBA player projections stat key

These NBA stat projections show the expected output for each listed category. 

• PTS (Points): Total points the player is projected to score.
• REB (Rebounds): Total rebounds, including offensive and defensive boards.
• AST (Assists): Projected total assists.
• 3PM (3-Pointers Made): Projected number of made three-point shots.
• BLK (Blocks): Projected number of shots the player will block.
• STL (Steals): Estimated number of steals when a player takes the ball from an opponent.
• TO (Turnovers): Projected times a player will lose possession.
• PRA (Points + Rebounds + Assists): Combined projection of points, rebounds, and assists.
• PR (Points + Rebounds): Combined projection of points and rebounds.
• PA (Points + Assists): Combined projection of points and assists.
• DFS (Daily Fantasy Score): Projected fantasy score based on standard DFS scoring rules.
• FB (First Basket): Projected chance of the player scoring the game's first basket. 

NBA DFS projections and fantasy basketball

Use our NBA daily fantasy projections to compare expected fantasy production across the slate. The DFS number translates the underlying stat projections into a fantasy score, giving you one way to compare players whose production comes from different combinations of points, rebounds, assists, defensive stats, and turnovers.

For example, if a player has a projected fantasy score of 40.0 and a salary of $8,000, the labeled calculation is 40.0 projected fantasy points ÷ $8,000 = 5.0 projected points per $1,000 of salary. This is simply a calculation example. The projections table does not claim to provide salary or ownership projections.

For season-long fantasy basketball, use the underlying stat columns when comparing players with different roles or matchups. You can also export the projections to CSV and load them into an optimizer or spreadsheet workflow.

How our model builds NBA player projections

Our NBA player projections come from our pre-match machine learning model, which projects each player's stat line for every upcoming game. 

The model is built in-house and uses five approved inputs: 

• Rolling player averages: Recent and longer-term player production used as a baseline for the projection. 
• Projected minutes: Expected playing time for the upcoming game. 
• Positional matchups: The player's expected matchup by position. 
• Home court advantage: Whether the upcoming game is played at home or on the road.
• Confirmed availability: A player's confirmed availability is considered when projecting expected performance and statistical output.

The model is updated daily and refreshed through the day for availability. 

NBA minutes projections and injury news

Projected minutes are an important input into a player's expected statistical output. When an injury removes a player from a lineup, changes in expected minutes and role can affect the projected production of other players. 

For example, when a starting point guard is ruled out, another ball handler may receive more expected playing time or a different projected statistical role. 

That is why NBA projected minutes should be considered alongside matchup and confirmed availability. We recommend checking our NBA News for late injury updates before relying on an earlier projection.

Using NBA player prop projections against the line

A simple way to research a player prop is to compare the model's projection with the sportsbook's posted line. The gap between the two numbers tells you how far the projection is above or below the market line.

For example, a projection of 27.0 points against a 25.5-point line creates a 1.5-point projection-to-line gap. That gap is a research signal, not a probability or guarantee of the result. A projection estimates an expected outcome; it does not mean the player has a corresponding percentage chance of going over.

For context, American odds of -110 imply a break-even probability of 52.4% before accounting for the sportsbook's margin. Compare the model output with the available line and price rather than treating the projection itself as a probability.
