NBA preseason rotations change nightly. Starters may sit, two-way players may see extra minutes, and a salary slate may not be posted until close to tip. Treat preseason samples as role clues, not season-long rates.
When the NBA salary board is empty, clutchnba.com/nba/dfs-optimizer stays in NBA mode and shows a labeled preseason state. It does not fill the board with WNBA players. Use Research for slate and injury context, then build lineups once DraftKings or FanDuel salaries load.
DraftKings NBA classic is PG, SG, SF, PF, C, G, F, UTIL ($50,000). FanDuel NBA classic is PG, SG, SF, PF, C, G/F, F/C, and two UTIL spots ($60,000). Cash mode favors floor; GPP mode favors upside and lineup uniqueness.
