Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Luka Doncic FD - $12800 DK - $12700Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 65.87 DK - 70.9 The Mavericks come in as huge favorites in this one, -12.5 against the Jazz who are clearly in tank mode. That being said, it’s such a good matchup for Luka Doncic and the rest of Dallas that we have to strongly consider playing him in cash even at these high prices. He’s triple-doubled in eight of his last ten games, averaging 32/10.6/10 over the month of March. It’s an elite run, unlike much else we’ve seen from a fantasy perspective. If there are any savings at all throughout the rest of the slate (and there will be), then Luka makes as high floor a play as you can make. De'Aaron Fox FD - $9600 DK - $9300Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 50.52 DK - 53.35 If you don’t want to pay through the nose for Luka and can stomach the fade, then De'Aaron Fox and the Kings guys are in as good a spot as you can get for a DFS slate. They play the Wizards, who aren’t only the worst defensive efficiency team in the league but also run the fastest pace as well. If the game can stay close (a big “if”), then Fox should see high 30s minutes, putting up shots in the high teens. He’s had some ceiling games of late for sure, and this matchup is just too good to pass up. Miles McBride FD - $5200 DK - $4700Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 28.16 DK - 30.23 Miles McBride got the start last game with OG Anunoby back on the shelf and should again here on Thursday. In true Tom Thibodeau fashion, Deuce went out and basically ran the entire time. He played 47 in regulation, finishing with 29 points on 9-13 shooting. Now, it should be mentioned that there was very little else to speak of, tallying just two assists and a rebound in all that time. That’s at least a little concerning, but you really just can’t argue with that many minutes from anyone at these price points. If Giannis...

Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy, and more. We've got you completely covered. Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Luka Doncic FD - $12700 DK - $12500Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 64.45 DK - 69.79 Most nights it makes sense to consider playing Luka Doncic in cash games. When he’s playing one of the worst defenses in basketball, then you are going to really want to smash the lock button. In close games, Luka is good to play around 40 minutes with the Mavs needing every bit of run from him. And over the last month or so, he’s averaging a crazy 34 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists per game. A true triple-double every single night has him making sense even at these crazy prices. Fred VanVleet FD - $8600 DK - $8600Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 47.21 DK - 50.2 The Rockets are still without Alperen Sengun and will be for the foreseeable future. That’s left a lot of production for the dudes who remain with Fred VanVleet, getting major minutes and usage in the short term. His shots per game are up about 15% and over the last three, he’s averaging 20 points, 10.7 assists, and five rebounds. Sure, the price has come up, but it’s in line with production. Now, he gets the league’s worst defense in the Washington Wizards who are playing shorthanded. This is a very easy play. Jalen Green FD - $7900 DK - $8100Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 43.09 DK - 47.09M Similarly, Jalen Green has become a much more reliable fantasy threat in the short term with Sengun on the shelf. And over the last month, the dude has seen a steady diet of minutes and shots. He’s averaging almost 25 points per game in that stretch, taking more than 20 shots in each of his last two games as well. Green can heat check with the best of them and the price on both sites is still totally reasonable considering the context and the matchup. Amen Thompson (FD 7800 DK 5900) is still very much in play on DraftKings. Small Forward Corey Kispert FD - $5200 DK - $5500Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 27.28 DK - 30.61 Justin Champagnie FD - $5200...

Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy, and more. We've got you completely covered. Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Immanuel Quickley FD - $8500 DK - $8600Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 43.2 DK - 47.26 The Raptors are still without RJ Barrett for this game, and of course, Scottie Barnes is basically out for the rest of the season. Immanuel Quickley should see a steady diet of on-ball time and the results have been fantastic with him in a lead ball handler role. He’s taken 21 and 19 shots over the last two games, averaging 21 points and 10 assists over his last six games. This is a pretty easy play even in a tougher matchup against the Orlando Magic on Friday. Bones Hyland FD - $4100 DK - $4300Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 26.45 DK - 29.37 James Harden looks like he’s going to sit out again on Friday after missing Thursday’s game against the Bulls with Bones Hyland getting the start. The latter was chalk on both sites, crushing his projection in a big way with 17 points, 11 assists, and four steals. The shooting was a little run hot (6-9 FG, 4-7 3PT), but the 32 minutes are encouraging. They should be there again for him tonight. This is an easy play considering the price didn’t really move. Gradey Dick FD - $5300 DK - $5200Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 25.75 DK - 28.4 If Gary Trent remains out, I think we are still getting moderate value on Gradey Dick here who has been starting, running 30+ minutes in each of the last four games. During that time, he’s putting up 11.5 points on double-digit attempts per game. He needs to knock down threes to really hit a ceiling, but that is for sure in his range of outcomes. Small Forward Paul George FD - $8200 DK - $8000Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 44.17 DK - 47.69 As with Bones Hyland, it looks like James Harden could sit out again, meaning Paul George would see a usage spike. Now, that didn’t totally come to fruition on Thursday, putting up just 12 shots in 35 minutes. He did make 11 of them, scorching from the field. It’s a back-to-back, so...

Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy, and more. We've got you completely covered. Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Luka Doncic FD - $12800 DK - $12800Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 61.94 DK - 67.82 What price is too high for Luka Doncic at this point? The numbers are just getting pretty stupid. Over the last six games, he’s averaging 36 points, 11 assists, and 11 rebounds in *just* 38 minutes per game. This just simply doesn’t happen with this kind of consistency. It’s almost disturbing. Now the Mavericks play in the night’s highest-total game against the Warriors who really have no one to slow him down. It’s crazy to think about paying these prices happily in cash, but the performance warrants it. Immanuel Quickley FD - $8300 DK - $8500Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 46.23 DK - 50.04 The Raptors are in a bit of an injury mess lately, and don’t seem all that incentivized to win either. It’s making for a somewhat tricky situation fantasy-wise, but we should also see a ton of minutes and shots from Immanuel Quickley here. RJ Barrett has already been ruled out, and IQ should run a lot of the offense. He’s played 36 or more minutes in five of his last six games, averaging 21 points, and 10.5 assists per game in that stretch. He’s been one of the big ceiling fantasy changes over the second half of the season after the trade, and amazingly, the price hasn’t all the way caught up. Tyrese Haliburton FD - $9100 DK - $9400Opponent - CHIProj Pts FD - 46.25 DK - 50.3 The Pacers are on the second half of the back-to-back which could be a bit problematic, though I still expect Tyrese Haliburton to run full minutes here. He played 36 minutes last night against the Thunder, going for 18 points and 12 assists in the win. His price has stagnated some in the short-term thanks in part to major struggles shooting. He’s sub-20% from three over the last couple of weeks. It should just be a blip, but it’s limited the scoring for sure. We might be buying a bit low if you think he comes back to his regular shooting splits. Small Forward DeMar DeRozan...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Dejounte Murray FD - $8900 DK - $9200Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 44.25 DK - 47.1 Bogdan Bogdanovic FD - $6700 DK - $6400Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 35.49 DK - 37.98 The Hawks are already without Trae Young for the rest of the season and now have lost Jalen Johnson as well. There are a lot of shots opening up here for a team that still wants to keep its play-in hopes alive. Dejounte Murray is averaging almost 20 shots per game over the last week or so, with the minutes pressing toward 40 in close ones. His price is still pretty reasonable, all things considered, and Memphis isn’t going to provide much in the way of resistance, either. And we should see more minutes and looks from Bogdan Bogdanovic with Johnson out of the lineup. The former is in the starting lineup, and the minutes will be in the 34-35 range if the game is close. He needs to put the ball in the basket to really hit, but 15 or so shots should be in the diet here considering the state of the Atlanta team. Vasilije Micic FD - $5400 DK - $5300Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 28.59 DK - 31.68 It might be a bit weird to start things off with Vasilije Micic, but we have some good reasons to do so. For starters, he’s in the starting lineup now with Cody Martin (and LaMelo Ball) on the shelf. And there’s a chance Tre Mann sits this game out as well. Over the last three games, with an increased role, Micic is averaging 15.3 points and 5.7 assists while getting after it on the defense end as well. The price doesn’t totally reflect the new opportunity and there’s a chance it even expands if the Hornets are down another guard. Jordan Goodwin FD - $6200 DK - $5200Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 32.05 DK - 33.68 The Grizzlies have been a total mess all year, with guys in and out of the lineup every single game. It looks like Jordan Goodwin will be back for this one and should...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Anthony Edwards FD - $9300 DK - $8800Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 49.33 DK - 53.22 Karl-Anthony Towns is going to sit this game out against the Pacers, and that’s going to open up a lot of opportunity for the rest of the Timberwolves. Anthony Edwards stands maybe the most to gain, going from a 32% usage guy on the season to a whopping 35.3% with KAT off the court. That’s about as high as you’ll see in the game today, and he gets a matchup against the Pacers who want to push the pace. It all lines up for Edwards to be a popular, high-floor play on this slate. Devin Vassell FD - $7700 DK - $7300Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 40.02 DK - 43.06 No Victor Wembanyama for the Spurs today after he was ruled out on Wednesday evening. That’s going to have a trickle-down effect on the rest of the lineup in really every area of the box score. With Victor Wembanyama off the court this season, Devin Vassell has the highest usage at 25.3%, and he sees the assists and rebounds tick up as well. This game’s 238 over/under is the highest of the slate, and while there’s some blowout risk for sure, Vassell isn’t priced like a guy who is now playing without Wemby. Lonnie Walker IV FD - $4800 DK - $4600Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 33.64 DK - 36 Cam Johnson has been ruled out for the Nets after tweaking his ankle last game. That should mean Lonnie Walker moving into the starting lineup or, at worst, seeing considerably more minutes for Brooklyn who is already without Cam Thomas in the backcourt. Walker has the best +/- on the team and will take shots at a decent enough volume, even when running with the main group. Keep an eye out for the starters here, but even if coming off the bench in a sixth-man role would mean a cash game play at these prices. Small Forward Kyle Anderson FD - $5500 DK - $4300Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 31.27 DK - 32.79 Kyle Anderson should draw...
