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

Happy Monday, March 24th, we have a 6-game NBA DFS main slate on DraftKings and 8-games on FanDuel.

The stars are out as Luka Doncic, LeBron James, Paolo Banchero, and Anthony Edwards are taking the floor. Some names that are questionable are Nikola Jokic, Anthony Davis, Zion Williamson, and D'Angelo Russell.

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
