It's Friday, March 13th, and we have a 5-game NBA DFS main slate on DraftKings and FanDuel. 

We have a five-game NBA DFS main slate and it's a good one with a lot of news to break. There are a lot of teams on back-to-backs and plenty of big names on the injury report including Karl-Anthony Towns, Alperen Sengun, Scottie Barnes, and Pascal Siakam. The stars are out too as Cade Cunningham, Jalen Brunson, and Donovan Mitchell are all taking the floor.

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
