This article will provide you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 3/28/23. Remember to monitor NBA injury news and our awesome new NBA injuries report tool as the slate can completely change before lineups lock.

DraftKings and FanDuel Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Steph Curry - PG, GS vs NO ($9,600 DK, $10,400 FD)

Coming off an ugly 4th quarter choke to the Timberwolves, I expect the Warriors to come out swinging tonight. Steph is always worth a look, especially when he's sub-$10k, and in this game which has an implied total of 234.5, it makes me like him even more. This is a big game for the Warriors, I expect them to let Chef Curry cook.

Tyus Jones, PG, MEM vs ORL ($5,300 DK $5,600 FD)

This one is short and sweet - Ja Morant is doubtful due to thigh soreness. Jones will be starting in his place, as usual, where he typically excels and is essentially a lock to outperform his pricetag.

Johnny Davis - SG, WAS vs BOS ($4,100 DK, $4,000 FD)

After spending most of the season on the Wizards' G-League affiliate, Davis finds himself in an ideal situation for a young player looking to gain NBA experience. His team isn't playing for anything particularly meaningful, Bradley Beal and Kyle Kuzma are both out with injuries, and he's getting an opportunity to show what he can do. Davis saw the most minutes of his career (30) in the Wizards' loss to the Raptors on Sunday. Even with the Wizards as big underdogs (+11.5 at the time of writing), Davis should see big minutes, regardless of the score.

Others to consider: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ($10,000 DK, $9,300 FD), Dennis Smith Jr. ($7,000 DK, $6,500 FD)

DraftKings and FanDuel Forwards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Jayson Tatum - SF/PF, BOS @ SAC ($10,400 DK, $11,000 FD)

Tatum once again looks to be the clear choice as the top forward option on the slate. He's coming into the game fresh after resting on Sunday, he has a soft matchup against the Wizards, which is boosted even further due to all the Wizards' injuries. There is definitely some risk of blowout here, which is probably the only reason he isn't my favorite play on the slate.

PJ Washington - PF/C, CHA @ OKC ($7,800 DK, $7,000 FD)

Don't let their recent back-to-back wins over the Mavericks fool you, the Hornets are down badly right now. Terry Rozier has already been ruled out, Gordon Hayward is doubtful, and Kelly Oubre is dealing with a shoulder issue that has him questionable. All signs point to Washington continuing to be heavily involved. He's posted 46 and 48.5 DK points in his last two games, and only a slate where money isn't as tight, I like him as a solid play that might not be that highly owned.

Corey Kispert - SG/SF, WAS @ ORL ($5,000 DK, $5,000 FD)

Running it back with Kispert again this week. The reason hasn't changed – he's still starting in place of Kuzma, he's still jacking threes, and in the four games he played last week, he's averaging 35.8 minutes per game. Much like Davis, Kispert should play almost all game, regardless of the game script.

Others to consider: Jimmy Butler ($8,700 DK, $9,800 FD),  Luke Kennard ($4,500 DK, $4,900 FD)

DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Kristaps Porzingis - PF/C, WAS vs BOS ($9,300 DK, $9,400 FD)

The onslaught of Wizards continues with Porzingis, who is taking the most shots on offense in the absence of Beal and Kuzma. It looks like the offense starts with him in this iteration of the Wizards, which means that his ceiling is as good as you'll find on this slate. The Celtics are a good defensive team, but they do lack size a bit, which makes me hopeful that Porzingis can be effective at multiple levels of the offensive side.

Nick Richards - C, CHA @ OKC  ($4,700 DK, $5,300 FD)

Richards didn't see the floor with Mark Williams returning from an injury, but Williams is out again tonight. Hopefully, this means we see the same Nick Richards who posted 26.75, 27.5, and 42.25 DK points in his last three starts.

Others to consider: Jonas Valanciunas ($7,700 DK, $8,100 FD)
