Guard
Stud
Trae Young, Atlanta Hawks vs. Philadelphia 76ers, $9,800 — Atlanta has won five of its last seven games, gaining momentum, while Philadelphia is essentially running out a G-League team. The Hawks are 10-point favorites, and the 238-point total is the highest on the slate. While other teams rest players down the stretch, the Hawks can’t afford to rest in the nest. Young needs to carry this team, or Atlanta could end up in a play-in game.
Other Options — LaMelo Ball ($9,700)
Value
Davion Mitchell, Miami Heat vs. Charlotte Hornets, $3,600 — Are the Heat tanking, or are they just a bad team? They’ve lost 11 in a row. They’re favorites on Sunday, but that could change if Tyler Herro ($8,400) or Bam Adebayo ($8,500) get ruled out. Mitchell works as a cheap NBA pick regardless of who suits up. He’s exceeded 5x value in nine of his last 13 games.
Other Options — Jamal Shead ($4,400)
Forward
Stud
Jayson Tatum, Boston Celtics at Portland Trail Blazers, $10,900 — It’s silly season. Everyone sits. Every night is a roller coaster right up to roster lock. Value picks proliferate, and the savings allow three superstars to slide into any DraftKings lineup. The only problem? Sometimes there aren’t any stars—they’re all sitting. The Cavs are sliding, and the Celtics could steal the No. 1 seed in the East.
Other Options — Scottie Barnes ($8,500)
Value
Jonathan Mogbo, Toronto Raptors vs. San Antonio Spurs, $3,900 — This is just a placeholder. Everyone knows what happens: the injury report drops at 5:30 p.m. ET, and suddenly a handful of value options emerge. NBA DFS players ditch their original picks. Some stick with them, and it’s a mistake. Mogbo is easy to drop but works if value doesn’t bubble up or if pivots are required. Mogbo has started the last two games. With Jakob Poeltl out, Mogbo should play close to 30 minutes and see a usage bump.
Other Options — Colin Castleton ($4,100)
Center
Stud
Bam Adebayo, Miami Heat vs. Charlotte Hornets, $8,500 — Will Bam play? Will Bam bounce back? Adebayo is logging heavy minutes, but his production has been down. It’s not surprising, given the brutal stretch of matchups. Adebayo dropped 56.5 DKFP on the Hornets on March 10. If Herro is out, Adebayo could be one of the best NBA DFS picks on the slate.
Other Options — Alperen Sengun ($9,100)
Value
Orlando Robinson, Toronto Raptors vs. San Antonio Spurs, $4,700 — In six of the last seven games, Robinson has exceeded 5x value. He’s hit 7x value in five of those contests. Robinson should benefit from Poeltl being out. This is a safe option, but it might not offer the best bang for your buck if the NBA Injury Report turns into a fiasco.
Other Options — Kel’el Ware ($5,000)
