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

Published: Apr 13, 2025
Happy Sunday, April 13th, we have an seven-game NBA DFS main slate on DraftKings and eight-games on FanDuel.
This is the FINAL regular season slate on the year and boy, let me tell you, it's insane. On DraftKings, the only player that's above an $8K price tag that isn't listed on the injury report is Coby White and he's going to be limited. What an insane final day. There's much more to be played for on the FanDuel slate
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
