NBA game/player simulator
One of the best tools to help gauge player production, in good game environments, is based on simulations run in excel.
This tool is a copy-paste template, for you to copy projections from a free website called dailyfantasyfuel.com where they do update their projections based on news, players in and out, and other factors.
This template will help you gauge an optimal rate, with player production. My favorite feature of this excel workbook is the 5x probabilities. In NBA fantasy sports, it helps your roster construction knowing someone has a solid floor with plenty of room for upside, and this excel workbook does the math behind the scenes based on 100 simulations, 1000 simulations, or 5000 simulations.
