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

Happy Monday, March 10th, we have a 10-game NBA DFS main slate on DraftKings and FanDuel.

The stars are out as Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Jayson Tatum are taking the floor. Some names that are questionable are Jayson Tatum, Trae Young, Tyrese Haliburton, and Tyrese Maxey.

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.
