The NBA may have stopped but that doesn’t mean we don’t have e-sports contests! FanDuel has kept it going with contests every night. Here are Adam ‘ShipMyMoney’s’ TOP NBA DFS Picks for Tuesday, March 24.

Here’s what we’re doing: over the next few weeks, we’re giving away $20,000+ in prizes in FREE TO PLAY contests based on simulated NBA DFS games that will air on YouTube and Twitch streams involving your favorite Awesemo personalities. And it all starts today. There will be Daily Contests where you are asked to predict aspects of the day’s simulated game. Get the most correct answers and you’ll be eligible for great prizes. Prizes will vary from day-to-day. Enter now (and every day) by clicking on the following link:

We aren’t going anywhere and hope you feel the same.

FanDuel NBA DFS Sim Sports Rules

  • Players are randomly assigned stats from a game they played during the 2019-2020 season.
  • Only players who have scored fantasy points in at least 15 games will be included in the pool.
  • The opponent matchups in each slate are irrelevant for the simulations.
  • Only games where players scored more than zero points will be available to be assigned stats, No DNPs or Late Scratches.
  • Scoring Example: LeBron James draws a 23 – he will get assigned the stats and Fantasy Points from the 23rd game he played this season: 65.4. Each player will be assigned a different random game.
  • Again listed matchups do not matter.

NBA DFS Picks: Point Guard

Kyrie Irving

Irving has only played 20 games this season. He has eclipsed 60 FanDuel points in six of those games, giving him a 30 percent chance of doing so tonight.

Reggie Jackson

Jackson missed most of the season with the Pistons and then went to the Clippers where he has a much smaller role. He has only played a total of 23 games this season, however, so his games with Detroit are weighted heavily. Jackson has a 17.4 percent chance of scoring at least 35 FanDuel points and a 34.8 percent chance of scoring at least 30 FanDuel points tonight at only $4,500.

Shabazz Napier

Napier is also only $4,500 and has a 17.6 percent chance of scoring at least 35 points and a 27.5 percent chance of scoring at least 30 points thanks to his time with Minnesota when Shake Milton is a boom-or-bust play available at $3,600. He has exceeded 30 FanDuel points in 15.6 percent of his games, with a ceiling of 51.1 points, but he has failed to reach 15 fantasy points in 37.5 percent of his games.

NBA DFS Picks: Shooting Guard

Bradley Beal

Beal is a high-floor, high-ceiling option at $9,900. Beal has played in 57 games this season and has at least 50 fantasy points in 43.9 percent of them while he has exceeded 55 points in 26.3 percent of his games. I prefer Kyrie Irving at this price point if we are looking across positions, but Beal looks like one of the best shooting guard options.

Devin Booker

Booker is fairly priced at $7,900 as he offers a high ceiling. He has exceeded 50 fantasy points in 14.3 percent of his games this season.

Malik Beasley

Beasley is a boom-or-bust value option. He spent most of the season as bench depth for the Nuggets, which is why there is a 43.6 percent chance that he scores less than 15 fantasy points tonight. Since being traded to the Timberwolves he has had a much bigger role, however, so he offers a 16.3 percent chance at more than 30 fantasy points and a 5.4 percent chance at more than 40 fantasy points for only $3,700.

NBA DFS Picks: Small Forward

Kelly Oubre

Oubre has exceeded 45 FanDuel points 19.6 percent of the time this season and he has scored more than 40 points in 26.8 percent of his games.

Jonathan Isaac

Isaac put together some huge games this season thanks for FanDuel’s scoring system weighting blocks and steals so heavily. He has only played 32 total games and has exceeded 40 FanDuel points in 31.3 percent of them with a high of 58.5 points.

NBA DFS Picks: Power Forward

Kawhi Leonard

Leoanrd is one of the best plays for a couple of reasons. First, he hasn’t played as many games as most other superstars so there is a greater chance of getting one of his best games. Second, he played a lot of games without Paul George so he has a number of exceptionally high scoring games. While Leonard offers about a 17.5 percent chance at more than 60 fantasy points tonight, there is greater than a 38 percent chance that he exceeds 50 FanDuel points at $9,400.

LaMarcus Aldridge

Aldridge has been a steady DFS option this season and he is only $7,300. He has exceeded 45 FanDuel points in 26.4 percent of his games and 40 points in 35.8 percent of his games.

Naz Reid

Reid has an extremely low floor because he was the third center on the depth chart for most of the season in Minnesota. He has a high ceiling, however, because he has produced at a high level when he gets playing time. He has played 30 total games this season and has exceeded 39 fantasy points in three of them. In addition to a 10 percent chance that he goes for 10 times his salary, there is a 36.7 percent chance that he scores at least six times his salary.

NBA DFS Picks: Center

Nikola Jokic and DeAndre Ayton

Jokic and Ayton stand out as the two centers to pay up for. Jokic has scored at least 50 FanDuel points in 31.8 percent of his games this season while Ayton has topped 50 points in 30 percent of his and is available for $900 less.

Thomas Bryant

Bryant is a high-upside play since he missed so many games this season. He has about a 13 percent chance of exceeding 40 fantasy points at $5,000 and a 31.2 percent chance of scoring six times his salary, but he also has a very low floor since he was a on a minutes restriction for a lot of games this season.
