Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Dejounte Murray FD - $10200 DK - $9800Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 51.69 DK - 55.12 We are going to want to allocate a lot of salary to the guard position here on Wednesday, and for good reason. There are a lot of solid options in the upper tier who have been crushing of late. First and foremost is Dejounte Murray who’s been one of the best fantasy plays around since Trae Young went down a month ago. In that stretch, Murray is averaging 26 points, 9.5 assists, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.3 steals in close to 40 minutes per game. With the Hawks still fighting to stay in the play-in, he’s got a very high floor every night. And on Wednesday he gets to play the lowly Blazers. This is lining up to be an easy play. Jalen Brunson FD - $9500 DK - $9400Opponent - TORProj Pts FD - 48.36 DK - 52.66 Miles McBride FD - $5900 DK - $5600Opponent - TORProj Pts FD - 31.88 DK - 34.16 Few other starting units are allowed to play the number of minutes the Knicks see on a night-to-night basis and that’s all thanks to Thibs who doesn’t care about scores or blowouts where the run is concerned. Witness the other night when the Knicks were up 30 against the Pistons and the starters were all out there. Jalen Brunson and Miles McBride should see a ton of playing time again and are both values in their respective price ranges. Brunson has taken 20+ shots in each of the last six games and some of those were blowouts where his minutes got cut some. If the Raptors can keep this close (a big “if”) then he has a very high floor. Meanwhile, Mile McBride had been allowed to play nearly every minute of every game over a stretch, something that came to an end last game only because the Knicks were winning by so much. But there’s no better predictor of fantasy success than time spent on the court. And this guy has been allowed to do it more than almost anyone else in basketball. Jalen...

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 Fred VanVleet FD - $8300 DK - $8300Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 46.52 DK - 49.19 The Rockets were already without Alperen Sengun, and now won’t have Jabari Smith Jr. following his one-game suspension. That’s going to leave a lot of shots and production open against one of the worst teams in basketball. So basically, this is the perfect spot to stack everyone playing on Houston. Fred VanVleet had struggled a bit in the scoring department, but broke out of it last game, going 11-16 from the field and finishing with 34 points against the Jazz. That will be on the high end of expectation, but his price is just too low on both sites considering the context around this Houston team. Jalen Green FD - $8500 DK - $8800Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 45.09 DK - 49.02 Jalen Green is on such a heater right now, taking a total leap since Sengun left the lineup, and leading the Rockets on their current eight-game winning streak. Over the last five games, Green is averaging 34.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, and four assists, taking more than 20 shots per game. It’s a leap for sure, and we actually still probably haven’t hit the right price point for him. Having FVV and Green as the core of cash games is almost certainly the right move here and they will be popular on both sites. Miles McBride FD - $5900 DK - $5400Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 34.55 DK - 36.22 It’s hard to argue with a guy who plays 48 minutes a game, something Mile “Deuce” McBride did last game against the Nets. In fact, over the last three games, McBride has only *not* played in five minutes. This is basically insane in modern basketball, something that no player ever does. And yet, here we are. He has scored 26, 11, and 29 points in those affairs, getting hot in two games from beyond the arc. He actually doesn’t do tons on the rebounds and assists front, but you really just can’t bet against the crazy minutes. Even coming off the bench, Dalano Banton (FD 5600 DK...

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...
