Things are going to get crazy tonight, despite only four games on the slate, because the Hawks could sit most of their starters and the Heat could be without three or four of their top players due to injuries. Reggie Jackson and Andre Drummond continue to be the top options on the board with Greg Monroe out. Chris Paul and Stephen Curry are going to battle tonight, but both players have high price tags and Curry has struggled vs the Clippers this season.
The point guard position has a couple of good mid-tier options in Jeff Teague (assuming he plays) and Deron Williams. Mario Chalmers becomes an amazing value option at the position if Dwyane Wade doesn't play. However, I prefer Shelvin Mack instead of Mario Chalmers, if Jeff Teague doesn't play. The shooting guard position is led by Klay Thompson, who has thrived with Draymond Green out and he has a reasonable price tag. Joe Johnson and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope are quality mid-tier options.
The small forward position is weak tonight as Kawhi Leonard is the only good option at the position, but he would barely reach value if he produces 40 fantasy points. DeMarre Carroll is my favorite mid-tier option (assuming he plays). James Ennis becomes a superb punt play if Luol Deng and Michael Beasley are inactive. The power forward position is filled mediocre players as the top-tier options at the position are all questionable to play. Blake Griffin and Paul Millsap are both good options, but both players also come with some risk as Griffin has a sore elbow and Millsap might not even play 30 minutes. Boris Diaw continues to be a decent low-tier option.
The center position is the best position to spend money at as Andre Drummond continues to put up monster games with Greg Monroe out, and Brook Lopez has been very consistent recently, which makes a great cash game play. The rest of the options at the position are nothing special.
Here is the NBA DFS Playbook for March 31st:
Point Guards
| Player | Team | Fantasy Aces | Fanduel | DraftKings | Comments |
| Reggie Jackson | Pistons | 5,600 | 8,600 | 8,700 | Has produced at least 42 FP in 7 straight games. |
| Jeff Teague | Hawks | 5,150 | 6,500 | 6,000 | Should exceed value with Schroder out |
| Deron Williams | Nets | 4,600 | 6,200 | 5,800 | Nice boom/bust option that has produced at least 30 FP in 5 out of the past 7 games |
| Mario Chalmers | Heat | 4,000 | 4,600 | 4,200 | Good punt play |
Shooting Guards
| Player | Team | Fantasy Aces | Fanduel | DraftKings | Comments |
| Klay Thompson | Warriors | 5,300 | 7,000 | 7,100 | Most reliable player at the position and doesn't cost that much |
| Joe Johnson | Nets | 4,650 | 5,600 | 5,800 | Has been playing better recently by posting 2 straight games with at least 40 FP |
| Kentavious Caldwell-Pope | Pistons | 4,250 | 5,300 | 5,900 | Good boom/bust option that will see a lot of FGA |
Small Forwards
| Player | Team | Fantasy Aces | Fanduel | DraftKings | Comments |
| Kawhi Leonard | Spurs | 5,900 | 8,200 | 8,100 | Clearly the best player at the position |
| DeMarre Carroll | Hawks | 4,600 | 5,800 | 5,800 | Sadly, he is the second best SF on the board |
| C.J. Miles | Pacers | 4,100 | 4,600 | 5,200 | Risky option for GPPs that needs to his shots to fall to reach value |
Power Forwards
| Player | Team | Fantasy Aces | Fanduel | DraftKings | Comments |
| Paul Millsap | Haws | 5,800 | 8,300 | 7,300 | Solid price on DK. Like M. Muscala if Millsap doesn't play |
| David West | Pacers | 4,700 | 5,600 | 5,400 | Good for 25-30 FP |
| Udonis Haslem | Heat | 3,750 | 5,100 | 4,400 | Sensational value play if Whiteside and Chris Anderson don't play |

| Andre Drummond | Pistons | 6,200 | 9,400 | 8,900 | Has produced at least 55 FP on DK in 3 out of the past 4 games |
| Brook Lopez | Nets | 5,350 | 8,200 | 7,800 | Superb cash game play that could produce similar numbers as Drummond. Must-start on Aces |
| Tiago Splitter | Spurs | 4,100 | 5,000 | 4,500 | Quality low-tier option |
