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

It's Wednesday, March 11th, and we have a 6-game NBA DFS main slate on DraftKings and FanDuel. 

We have late games! Everyone rejoice! It's exciting to have the 10 pm games on the main slate because we get to play the likes of Nikola Jokic, Alperen Sengun, and Kawhi Leonard if we want. If we want to roster LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller or Anthony Edwards? Yeah, we can do that too. We have a bunch of teams on back-to-backs and plenty of injury news to sort through as well.

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
