We have another seven-game NBA DFS slate to break down tonight, as there is a lot going on here in terms of injuries. The Memphis Grizzlies are still way too cheap for the boost everyone has seen with Ja Morant out. We are also getting to the other side of that matchup, as the Milwaukee Bucks offer some solid value with Jrue Holiday sidelined. Aside from stacking the Bucks-Grizzlies game, we are getting back the Kings, who remain without Domantas Sabonis and De’Aaron Fox.
Here’s Two Core Plays For DFS Basketball 3/26/22 (using DraftKings Values)

| Small Forward | |||
| Power Forward | J. Butler | $8,400 | |

With the news that Holiday is sidelined for the Bucks tonight, George Hill looks fantastic for value at only $3,000. Hill is averaging 15.9 FPTS on the season, and he should see a nice minute’s boost with Holiday off the floor. We are eager to see if Hill gets the start in this spot, as he certainly looks better if that is the case. However, we will be playing him a lot either way.
Tyler Herro will remain sidelined for the Miami Heat tonight, and they have a nice matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. We really like getting to Jimmy Butler in this spot, who is coming in at a nice $8,400 price tag. Butler went for 51.75 FPTS against the Knicks in the last game, as there was a lot of extra usage on the table without Herro. Butler is a great upside guy, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to show it.
Here’s a Fade DFS Basketball 3/26/22 (using DraftKings Values)
Kyrie Irving has had some massive games lately, but we know as a DFS producer he is too expensive at $10,900. Furthermore, the Miami Heat are a tough matchup, so we are not very high on this side of the matchup. We have a lot of options at the top end tonight, so we would need Irving to beat a few of the league’s top superstars at this price.

• A few high-priority guards from the Memphis Grizzlies.
• One guy who is doing everything for the Sacramento Kings.
• A budget center stepping into a starting role.
• Potential priorities based on key injury news.
Point Guard
Tyus Jones – ($5,100 DK) The price is creeping up on Jones, but he still looks fantastic in this spot with Morant sidelined. Jones is the Grizzlies starting point guard right now, which has led to his playing over 30 minutes in close games. Jones has scored 30.25, 34, and 26.5 FPTS in the three games without Morant, as he is too cheap for the role he is playing right now.
Shooting Guard
Davion Mitchell – ($6,000 DK) Mitchell has gotten about $2,000 more expensive over the past few games, but he is still too cheap with the role he is playing. The Kings have been playing without Fox and Sabonis, so the rookie has been their number one option over the past few games. He scored 36.25 FPTS and 46.75 FPTS in the game before, as his usage is massive in this spot.
Dillon Brooks – ($5,800 DK) Brooks has been one of our favorite plays on each of the past few slates without Morant, as he is way too cheap for the usage he is taking on. Brooks shot the ball 21 times in 34 minutes last game, and his production was solid with 32.75 FPTS. He has the upside for a lot more in this spot, so he is a priority for us again tonight.
Giannis Antetokounmpo – ($11,800 DK) Antetokounmpo is questionable right now, and his status will be key for our lineups tonight. If Antetokounmpo joins Holiday on the bench, the Bucks will look great for value overall. However, we really like getting to Antetokounmpo if he plays here. He has a solid matchup against the Grizzlies, and he usually sees higher usage with Holiday off the floor.
Damian Jones – ($4,400 DK) The Kings frontcourt has been left quite thin with Sabonis out, so we have seen Jones starting at center in his place. Jones played 30 minutes last game, which was not surprising given the lack of options here. The Kings have a great matchup against Orlando tonight, so Jones is in a nice spot for value.
General strategy
There are a few questionable tags we have to talk about, starting with Antetokounmpo. If he ends up out we are looking to roster Khris Middleton at $8,700, as well as their cheaper options like Pat Connaughton and Grayson Allen. We also just found out that Jimmy Butler is questionable. If he ends up out we will be getting to Caleb Martin, Max Strus, and Kyle Lowry, as they all stand to see some extra usage. Good luck tonight and keep an eye on all of our injury news.
