There are seven games tonight, and we do not have as many crazy injuries going around as we have in the past few days. However, there is still a solid amount of value with some great matchups. One team we really like getting to for this one is the Utah Jazz, who are priced well for a great matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. We are looking at more of a balanced build tonight, as we have a few priorities in the $5,000 – $8,000 range.
Here’s Two Core Plays For DFS Basketball 3/25/22 (using DraftKings Values)
| Point Guard | J. Poole | $7,800 | |
| Shooting Guard | |||
| Small Forward | |||
| Power Forward | |||
| Center | M. Conley | $5,500 | |
| Guard | |||
| Forward | |||
| Utility |
The price has risen significantly on Jordan Poole, who is all the way up to $7,800. However, this price is more than justified given Poole’s fantastic production with Steph Curry off the floor. Poole went for 49.5 FPTS last time in a tough matchup against the Heat, and he has been on a tear for a few weeks now. The Warriors have a nice matchup against the Hawks tonight, and Poole is a great target for upside.
As we mentioned in our introduction there is a lot to like from the Jazz tonight, starting with Mike Conley. Conley is coming in at a fantastic price tag of $5,500, which is great for the 28.8 FPTS he is averaging on the season. Conley has been great over the past few weeks, as he has gone for a few massive games. The Hornets play at a very fast pace, which means a few extra possessions for Conley and the Jazz tonight.
Here’s a Fade DFS Basketball 3/25/22 (using DraftKings Values)
Cade Cunningham has emerged as a dynamic DFS producer, and his high upside typically lands him some solid ownership. We are looking to go elsewhere tonight, as Cunningham is too expensive at $8,700. Furthermore, we have seen him play a few games without Jerami Grant recently, so he is priced for having to do a little bit extra.

• A budget guard who has been stepping into the starting unit.
• One star guard who is on a tear right now.
• The rest of our priorities from the Utah Jazz.
• A few key questionable tags we are keeping an eye on.
Point Guard
Kris Dunn – ($4,500 DK) Dunn has been starting for the Portland Trailblazers recently, who have been absolutely ravaged by injuries. Nunn has been playing around 26 minutes a game, showing some solid production at this price. He has a lot of upside in this spot, as there are not many other options on Portland, and he can earn more minutes with strong play.
Shooting Guard
Donovan Mitchell – ($9,000 DK) Mitchell is another priority from the Jazz tonight, as he has been on fire lately. Mitchell is averaging 49.8 FPTS across the past ten days, and he has gone over 50 FPTS in four of his past five games. It is surprising that Mitchell is not more expensive for this one, making him a spend-up priority for us. With this matchup we are very happy betting on the hot hand here.
Anthony Edwards – ($7,400 DK) The forward positions are weak tonight, so we really like getting to a relatively cheap Edwards in this spot. Edwards always takes a ton of usage for the Timberwolves, and as a volume scorer he has the upside to explode for monster game. The high-upside nature to Edwards production usually causes him to be a bit pricier, so he looks fantastic here against the Mavericks.
Royce O’Neale– ($3,900 DK) As the power forward position also doesn’t look great here, we are going to be rostering a lot of O’Neale. He always plays over 30 minutes in close games and is averaging 21.5 FPTS on the season. O’Neale should have plenty of time on the floor against this Hornets team, and he does not need to do much at this price.
Rudy Gobert – ($7,600 DK) Sticking with the Jazz here Gobert is way too cheap for this matchup, as he has a ton of upside in this spot. Gobert is averaging 41.1 FPTS on the season, and Charlotte gives up a ton of FPTS to opposing big men. He has a lot of upside in this spot, and his floor is great at $7,600.
General strategy
We have a few key questionable tags on this slate, as a handful of guys could return from injury. Julius Randle has been sidelined over the past two games for the Knicks, which has left a lot of usage on the table. Obi Toppin is a priority if Randle remains out, while RJ Barrett and Alec Burks look solid. We are also waiting on if Kyle Kuzma plays, as we are happy getting back to the cheap forwards from Washington if he sits.
