NBA DFS Picks For Fanduel 3/29/21

Unfortunately, my lineup has fallen short in the last two days due to players in my lineup getting hurt (first Beal, then Carter-Williams). Luckily for me, I have the chance to bounce back on the larger main slate tonight, which are the slates that I feel most comfortable and confident in. In totality, there are 11 games on the slate with many intriguing options to construct your lineups around. 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:

James Harden - $11,300:

James Harden has been an absolute fantasy beast as of late. The return of Kyrie Irving should have a small affect on his total production, but not enough to dissuade me from playing him on the slate. James Harden has scored over 52 FD points in five of his last seven contests, with two of those games being monster showings of 72+. The Nets currently have the highest implied total on the slate, and the Timberwolves are near the bottom of the league in both points allowed to point guards and shooting guards, so Harden should be able to eat.

Best Value:

Jaden McDaniels - $3,700:

In recent games, Jaden McDaniels has seen a large boost in his minutes which makes him an excellent option at just $3,700. In fact, McDaniels has played under 22 minutes just one time in his past seven games, with him playing 35 and 33 minutes in his last two. With those quality of minutes, 20 FD points should be easy for him, which would be over value at his price point. The Nets have struggled defending bigs all year, which only gives McDaniels an added boost.
