NBA DFS Picks & Playbook for Today’s Games: March 15th

No late swap Friday has returned on DraftKings which makes for an interesting strategy for those playing there this evening. 

On FanDuel you are only getting five of the six games for your main slate which is unfortunate since the late game between the Hawks and Jazz is the best on the board. Either way, today's playbook has some great matchups to build some lineups here this evening.
