NBA DFS Picks For Fanduel 3/4/21

With a 362 point lineup, we had a big night yesterday. Steph Curry, Dennis Schroder, Victor Oladipo, Norman Powell, and Justin Patton were the big players that went off for me, ultimately putting me in the cash for all contests. The main slate for today is similar to that of yesterday in the fact that there are many excellent value options given the amount of players who have been ruled out. In total, there are 9 games on the slate. 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:

Giannis Antetokounmpo - $11,300:

I am not going to let one mediocre Giannis game dissuade me from playing him on tonight's slate. On Tuesday against Denver, Giannis saw his production fall back to Earth after a run of scoring ridiculous FD points, as he put up 47 across 32 minutes. He barely played in the fourth quarter, which resulted in him seeing a couple less minutes than usual. Until the sub 60 point performances become a trend for Giannis, I am going to continue to roster him, especially on a slate filled with value like this one.

Best Value:

Brad Wanamaker - $3,900:

With Steph Curry and Draymond Green already being ruled out, and Kelly Oubre listed as questionable, Brad Wanamaker is in for a large workload tonight. In the last game without Curry, Wanamaker scored 31 FD points across 33 minutes, which is much within the realm of possibility for today. Phoenix is a tough defensive draw, but $3,900 is still much too cheap for a point guard that is going to see decent usage on a lot of minutes. As things stand now, I have Wanamaker in my lineup.

Malcolm Brogdon - $6,700
