Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Ja Morant FD - $9900 DK - $9000Opponent - LACProj Pts FD - 50.32 DK - 54.36 The Grizzlies don’t have their playoff fate sealed just yet, but they are close and it’s looking like they will be locked into the Western Conference #2 seed. Ja Morant rested on the front end of this back-to-back, but it looks like he will be back for this game. And the dude hasn’t shown any signs of being affected (on the court) from his time away from the team. He dropped 27 points and six rebounds in just 29 minutes last time out and this game should see the run increase as he works his way back into the mix. The price is way too low on DraftKings especially if he’s looking at low-30s minutes and the dude has come back on a mission. Shaedon Sharpe FD - $6900 DK - $6700Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 34.99 DK - 37.85 The Blazers are a mess for sure and have clearly entered a full tank. Damien Lillard has been shut down for the rest of the season and they are running out the young and end-of-bench guys from here on out. Shaedon Sharpe has played 35+ minutes in each of the last four games, averaging 22.5 points and 6.3 rebounds in that stretch. Even with the rest of the lineup kind of getting jacked around, his playing time and usage do appear very safe here even with a slightly down game last time around. His price on both sites doesn’t reflect, at all, the new opportunity. Talen Horton-Tucker FD - $6300 DK - $6900Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 30.86 DK - 33.16 Kris Dunn FD - $5100 DK - $5500Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 34.43 DK - 35.56 It’s a little tough to know what the Utah Jazz are doing here, and as of right now, Lauri Markkanen is questionable for the game. It doesn’t look like the Jazz, currently ranked 12th in the Western Conference, are going to try and make the play-in game, which would mean a key guy like Lauri would see limited action from...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $10800 DK - $10000Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 52.91 DK - 54.03 It’s going to be an interesting slate here with teams definitely making their intentions known around tanking and other groups getting back to full strength. As of this writing, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is questionable so we will need to see where he lands, but if he plays he’s a top option here. For starters, the Hornets stink so he draws one of the best matchups on the slate. The Thunder still have a chance at the playoffs here and they seem like they are going for it with SGA playing solid minutes in the short term. He’s had an unbelievable season, has ascended into superstar territory and still isn’t priced for his production in this matchup. Keep an eye on his injury status here for sure. **Update - SGA is out tonight** s Dennis Smith Jr. FD - $6500 DK - $7000Opponent - OKCProj Pts FD - 33.1 DK - 33.91 Again, a theme of this slate is that we are likely going to be playing some guys on tanking teams. That’s the nature of these late season slates wherein some good and great players have been shut down for the season or are at least being injury managed. One of them is the Hornets who are already without LaMelo Ball and now Terry Rozier and Gordon Hayward are out as well. Dennis Smith Jr. has been starting at point guard and that should remain the case in this game. He went for 14 points, six assists, and five rebounds last game against the Mavs in just 28 minutes. He did have foul trouble and I think the real minutes are more around 30+ and though he’s getting expensive, if Kelly Oubre is out as well then the usage should be there. Delon Wright FD - $5800 DK - $5400Opponent - BOSProj Pts FD - 32.79 DK - 33.28M We are going to need to keep an eye on the Wiz situation leading into this slate. Last game, Monte Morris sat out and Delon Wright got the start at point guard....
Stack Wizards for the Daily Fantasy DraftKings and FanDuel NBA Picks – Friday, March 24, 2023

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Damian Lillard FD - $10300 DK - $11000Opponent - CHIProj Pts FD - 54.89 DK - 60.62 Shaedon Sharpe FD - $6000 DK - $5400Opponent - CHIProj Pts FD - 23.63 DK - 25.87 Technically, the Blazers aren’t out of the playoffs yet, though it’s looking very, very unlikely at this point. Damian Lillard has even admitted as much. But they still put the best foot forward last game and actually beat the Jazz. Without Anfernee Simons in the lineup, Dame still stands to see massive usage in this offense and though he is priced in the upper tier, represents a cash game play because of the overall makeup. He’s dropped 30 or more in three of the last four games and has been able to dial up the assists as well. The Bulls have been a good defense on the season, but that doesn’t have me walking away from this play. And then there is Shaedon Sharpe who got the start at shooting guard last game and turned in the best performance of his rookie season. He played 40 minutes, took 19 shots and finished with 24 points and nine rebounds. This was something of a breakout for the dude who should stick with this kind of run and opportunity to close out the season. The price has climbed some but I think he’s still very much a value, especially on DraftKings. Monte Morris FD - $5300 DK - $4900Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 32.85 DK - 35.43 The Wizards are going to be without Bradley Beal and Kyle Kuzma once again which is already set to open up significant opportunity for the rest of the lineup. Then couple that with them getting the best DFS matchup around and we have a smash spot for this Washington team. Monte Morris will start at point guard and is thankfully coming cheap because the minutes can be a bit all over the place. The Wiz have long-run somewhat unconventional rotations with some of their starters and Morris falls into that group. That being said, he’s in a good enough spot that playing him in cash doesn’t represent...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard CJ McCollum FD - $8700 DK - $8000Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 42.54 DK - 46.01 The Pelicans have had a disaster second half of the season and have fallen out of the play-in game for now. But they still have a chance to make at least a little noise here and we should expect them to play out the string in terms of their stars and rotations. CJ McCollum rings in as a value play here considering New Orleans draws the best DFS matchup in the league against the Spurs. McCollum has taken 17 or more shots in five of his last six games while putting up 22 points, 6.6 assists, and 5.3 rebounds over the month of March. The price is still very much a value on both sites, but especially on DraftKings. Bradley Beal FD - $9100 DK - $8400Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 44.26 DK - 47.21 The Wizard will be without Kyle Kuzma in this game and we should see major minutes out of Beal as long as the game stays close. That hasn’t been the case over the short-term for Washington, dealing with blowouts (one for, three against) in each of the last four games. But when things are right, Beal should hit 36-37 minutes with a usage bump because Kuzma is out of the mix. The price is a bit down because of the recent minutes concerns, but this is still a good spot to fire him up. Orlando isn’t a DFS pushover here, ranking 16th in defensive efficiency, but I like Beal in this spot. Devonte' Graham FD - $5700 DK - $5000Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 28.08 DK - 30.63 The Spurs are going to be without Devin Vassell, Jeremy Sochan, and Tre Jones in this game meaning they’ll be running with a new starting lineup and leaving plenty of shots on the table. Graham should be in the starting lineup for this one and that’s great news for his fantasy upside. Last time he got the start, Graham ran 32 minutes, took a team-high 16 shots and finished with a 20/3/3 line. He definitely...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Tyus Jones FD - $6700 DK - $6700Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 37.37 DK - 39.46 Desmond Bane FD - $8400 DK - $7400Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 42.26 DK - 45.88 The Grizzlies draw the best matchup on the slate in the Spurs and are still going to be without Ja Morant for the next few games at least. Tyus Jones and Desmond Bane make a pretty clear backcourt stack in this one and really neither is prices all the way up for what they mean to the Memphis offense right now. Jones has seen the usage drop off a bit over the last three games, getting up just around double-digit shot attempts over that stretch, but he’s in too good a spot to fade here against the league’s worst defense in the Spurs who run the fourth-fastest pace. Meanwhile, Bane has also seen the shot attempts drop some in the short-term, but some of that was minutes’ based and he’s still pretty clearly the team’s #1 option on offense when Ja is out of the mix. If anything, the recent play has kept his price in check which is a good thing when considering running him for cash games. Again, these two should drive most of the offense for the Grizzlies and stacking Memphis in general is a high-floor play on this slate. Josh Green FD - $6200 DK - $6500Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 33.64 DK - 36.23 Jaden Hardy FD - $6400 DK - $7300Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 38.66 DK - 42.37 We are going to be in a weird spot with the Mavericks when it comes to Friday night’s slate of games. That’s because some of the biggest injury news we will be waiting on comes from this team and the game starts 3.5 hours after lineup lock. Luka Doncic is already out, but whether Kyrie Irving and Tim Hardaway Jr. play has major impact on what to do with the rest of the lineup. If they were to sit out again then obviously Josh Green and Jalen Hardy become nearly must plays. Both have been running...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Tyus Jones FD - $7500 DK - $4900Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 38.31 DK - 40.76 Desmond Bane FD - $8200 DK - $7700Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 47.12 DK - 50.92 Ja Morant is still away from the Memphis Grizzlies and that’s shaping up to be a longer-term thing than a quick couple of days hiatus. It means that these guards will continue to be plays even with the price climbing in the short term. Considering Ja Morant has a whopping 37% usage rate on the season, there are some shots to fill in here. Bane is coming off a 22-shot performance on against the Clippers on Sunday and his usage rate climbs to 28.4% with Morant off the court this season. He’s a fantastic play at these prices. And then there is Tyus Jones who has a 30% assist rate with Morant out of the mix this season and gets the usage up to 19% as well. His price is on the rise, but remember, he’s coming off a 25-point, 12-assist game of his own. He’s set to play big minutes going forward considering how thin the Grizzlies now are in the backcourt. Stephen Curry FD - $9500 DK - $10100Opponent - OKCProj Pts FD - 51.01 DK - 56.4 Stephen Curry returned from injury on Sunday, stepping in to play 32 minutes right out of the game. He struggled a bit from the field, going 8-20 and 5-13 from three. But this is Curry we are talking about so there’s no real reason to sweat short-term results. He’ll get a good matchup against the Thunder here who play fast and the Warriors have a 120 implied total. Curry’s FanDuel price makes it pretty easy to fit him into lineups and we are buying a bit low. If Jalen Brunson is out again then Immanuel Quickley (FD 7300 DK 5000) makes for a lock DraftKings play. He’s coming off a monster game against the Celtics on Sunday. Alec Burks (FD 5000 DK 4100) would be an option once again if Killian Hayes sat out for the second game in a row. Small Forward...
