How LiveSlates works
The live second screen for your DraftKings lineups. Watch every play, every point, the Dream Team, and the sweat unfold in real time - from tip-off to final whistle.
The process
Your slate, ready to go
Your DraftKings contests are set up automatically - salaries, positions, probable starters and injury status included. No CSV wrangling.
Add your lineups
Build a lineup slot by slot with the salary cap enforced as you go, or import your entries from a file. Bring one lineup or a hundred - and your own projections to score them against.
Watch it live
Once games tip off, LiveSlates polls official box scores every 30 seconds and scores every player to two decimals using DraftKings' exact rules. No refresh needed.
See the whole slate
Your best lineup, pace vs your projection, the Dream Team, who's hot, and your exposure across every entry - the full picture at a glance, updating play by play.

How live scoring works
LiveSlates connects to official sport data APIs and polls for live box scores every 30 seconds while games are active. Stats are mapped to DraftKings' official scoring rules - so the points you see in LiveSlates match what you'll see in your contest.
Scores update automatically - no refresh needed. A pulsing green dot in the nav shows when live data is flowing.
Note: LiveSlates does not place entries, charge entry fees, or interact with DraftKings on your behalf. It is a tracking and analytics tool only.
The language of the live sweat
We speak fluent DFS - here's the shorthand, plain and quick, so nothing on the live board catches you out.
- Sweat
- Watching your lineup score live - the nervy stretch where every play swings your night.
- Projection
- Your expected fantasy points for a player - the number live scoring is measured against. Yours or imported.
- Pace
- Whether a player is scoring fast enough to beat their projection, or falling behind it.
- Hot / cold
- Hot means scoring above pace right now; cold means lagging behind it.
- Dream Team
- The best lineup you could have built from this slate - your benchmark for what was on the table. Solved live, and sometimes called the optimal lineup.
- Value
- Points per $1,000 of salary - how much production you're getting for what a player costs.
- Salary cap
- The budget you build under - every player costs salary and your lineup has to fit within it.
- Slate
- The set of games and the player pool you build lineups from.
- FPts
- Fantasy points - real-game stats converted into points by the contest's scoring rules.
