NBA DFS Picks, Projections, Lineups, Injuries & More Today: Monday Playbook

It's Monday, March 30th, and we have a 6-game NBA DFS main slate on DraftKings and eight games FanDuel. 

FanDuel is including the late games, so thank you FanDuel. DraftKings is not, but at least it's still six games on their main slate. The stars are out and the matchups are great. Victor Wembanyama, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Johnson, and Joel Embiid are all taking the floor looking to dominate. Luka Doncic is suspended as the Lakers take on the Wizards tonight.

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
