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

It's Wednesday, February 25th, and we have a 5-game NBA DFS main slate on DraftKings and FanDuel. 

We have a five-game NBA DFS main slate on Wednesday and it's a fun slate. We really only have two tanking teams on the board and the rest of the teams are trying to make the playoff push. We have stars everywhere you turn as Victor Wembanyama, Cade Cunningham, Donovan Mitchell, and Kevin Durant all take the court tonight.

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.
