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

Published: Mar 10, 2026

It's Tuesday, March 10th, and we have a 7-game NBA DFS main slate on DraftKings and FanDuel.

Despite missing several rotation pieces, Miami has the highest implied team total of the slate. That context should make them one of the more popular teams on the slate. Tyler Herro, Jakob Poeltl, and VJ Edgecombe are important questionable tags to monitor as we approach roster lock. Let's break it all down.

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
