NBA DFS Picks For Fanduel 3/27/21

Our lineup easily cashed in all contest types last night with monster games from James Harden, Kristaps Porzingis, and Robert Williams. Jalen Brunson and Jarred Vanderbilt kept the line from being near takedown, but any profit is good profit. There are 9 total games on the slate for today, but there is a lack of options over $10,000, especially if Luka Doncic doesn't play. Such as Luka, there is other slate changing news that we are waiting on, which you should keep in mind before your final lineup construction. *Update*: the slate has turned crazy. 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:

Russell Westbrook - $11,000:

With there being so much value on the slate, you should lock in the highest projected scorer. In his last seven games, Russell Westbrook has only scored under 55 FD points once (I didn't include the 54.8 game since it is so close). In that same span, he has scored over 60 FD points three times. The Wizards may be without Bradley Beal tonight, which would only make Westbrook that much better of a play. Expect him to feast on a poor Detroit team.

Best Value:

Any player on the Bucks:
