Happy Sunday, March 16th, we have a seven-game NBA DFS main slate on DraftKings and FanDuel. We have three elite spend-ups to consider on this slate, with Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Miles Bridges all in great spots.

Be sure to join us in Discord for all the news leading up to roster lock. Let's get into some of the top plays and best pivots for this smaller slate.

 

 

 

Before actually diving into the meat and potatoes, welcome to the NBA DFS season. If this is your first time reading our column on NBA DFS picks, I just want to welcome you and give you a few tips and tricks on what you should be looking for each night.

  • News outlets: reliable sources that give us injury news & starting lineups
  • Pace of play: who's playing fast vs. who's playing slow. Which teams get a pace-up spot (more possessions) vs. pace-down (fewer possessions)
  • Usage rates: is a percentage of how many plays that player is being used in
  • NBA DFS Projections
  • Lineup Generator
  • NBA Ownership
