NBA DFS Picks For Fanduel 3/25/21

The trade deadline has finally arrived! Last night, even though I had some miserable plays (Luka and Giannis combining for 61), I was able to cash in all contest types. I am not sure how the slate ended up being that low-scoring, but I will take any small wins that I can get. After a crazy day of trades, we have a five game slate to look forward to. I am not the biggest fan of smaller slates like this, but there are just enough games to warrant an article. Some of the trades that occurred today will have an affect on this slate, so they are accounted for in this article. As I say everyday, the top plays and my lineup core can change with injury or rest news, so make sure to stay up to date. Let's dive into the breakdown of the NBA main slate on Fanduel today!

Reminder: If you would like the lineup that I will be using, RT the article post on twitter for at @SportsVerseHQ, DM @Excyphir, and follow them both. Since my lineups usually change with injury news, be sure to check DMs before lock in case of a change. I usually send my lineups out around 30 minutes to an hour prior to lock, so as long as you have followed the steps and DMed me, you will receive it.

Top Play:

Bam Adebayo - $8,000:

If Jimmy Butler doesn't play tonight (currently listed as questionable), then Bam Adebayo will be a near lock in my lineup. Even if Butler does play, there is still a good shot I play Bam given the lack of solid options at the PF position on the slate, and the poor Trail Blazers defense. At $8,000, you are expecting 40+ FD points from him, and I think that is well within his median.

Best Value:

James Wiseman - $4,200:

If I am being honest, there are very few value plays under the price of $5,000 that are in my player pool as of now. If I expanded the boundaries a little, I would list Tyrese Haliburton as that play at $5,700, but I have to keep to my customs. Of the players priced under $5,000, James Wiseman is currently projected the best. He would be my third ranked center behind Zubac and Howard, but he is still a strong play, especially since he will face off against the Kings. With the trade of Lou Williams, Nicolas Batum is a competitive candidate for this spot at $3,800 too. Wiseman is not currently in my lineup, but he can certainly be in yours if you like the play.
