NBA DFS Picks, Projections, Lineups, Injuries & More Today: Wednesday Playbook
Published: Mar 25, 2026
It's Wednesday, March 25th, and we have a 8-game NBA DFS main slate on DraftKings and FanDuel.Â
It's a FUN slate and we have MULTIPLE 240-plus point totals involved including a game that features two of the worst teams in the NBA. We have stars everywhere as Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Victor Wembanyama, and Jaylen Brown are taking the floor. Some critical news we'll have to pay attention to are Jalen Johnson, Joel Embiid, and Ayo Dosunmu as they're all listed as questionable.
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
