NBA DFS Picks For Fanduel 3/31/21

My lineups have started to gain a little momentum as we have now cashed in all contest types in two consecutive days. Last night's lineup on the smaller slate was especially special since it was able to jump past the first threshold of cashing in tournaments and earn over the 2x profit. With a large main slate today, let's push to make it three in a row! With the main slate being 10 games, there are numerous player options to pick from. 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:

Fred VanVleet - $7,400:

With Lowry being ruled out for tonight's contest against the Thunder, Fred VanVleet should take on the primary ball-handling duties and see an uptick in usage. $7,400 is an excellent price to pay for the quality of player in the situation that he is currently in. I project his median to be northwards of 40 FD points, which would be an excellent return on value. Harden and Giannis were considered for this spot, but blow out potential scares me slightly, although I still like them both.

Best Value:

Andre Drummond - $5,200:

Alright, so I cheated my own system a little bit on this one. I always list my favorite value play as someone who is priced under $5,000, but I couldn't go without mentioning Andre Drummond at $5,200 today. He is a fantasy beast when on the court, and he will be starting for the Lakers tonight. The only thing that would draw me off Drummond today would be if he is on a minutes restriction. However, Moses Brown and Robert Williams are in excellent spots as well.
