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

Happy Sunday, March 15th, we have a 3-game NBA DFS main slate on DraftKings starting at 6 pm ET and four games on FanDuel starting at 3:30.

We're going to break down both slates despite how one starts in the middle of the afternoon and one starting in the evening. There's a lot of elite of options tonight as Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Cade Cunningham, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Donovan Mitchell are all taking the floor. Lets dive into our top plays of the day.

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
