Welcome to the NBA DFS 3-10-21 DraftKings Value Picks article! We’ve got only a two-game slate but still plenty of opportunities to win some cash.
Here are the pairings and value picks to help earn some winnings.
The cheapest pairing is the Grizzlies Ja Morant ($7,800) and Kyle Anderson ($6,300). Memphis is playing the Washington Wizards, who allow the fourth-most fantasy points to all positions.
The intermediate pairing is the Wizards Bradley Beal ($9,400) and Rui Hachimura (5,300). Beal is the best shooter in the NBA, and see below for more on Hachimura.
The expensive pairing is the Mavericks Luka Doncic ($10,700) and Tim Hardaway Jr. ($4,800). Doncic does everything well, and Hardaway is a reliable shooter who won’t waste a spot in your lineup.

Two-Game Slate
Wizards @ Grizzlies (-3.5) – 238 over/under
Spurs @ Mavs (-4.5) – 223 o/u
Point Guard
Justise Winslow, Memphis Grizzlies $3,900
After missing most of the season, Winslow has finally returned to the Grizzlies’ lineup. He is averaging 12 points, five rebounds, two assists, and one block in his previous three games.
Tonight he is facing the Wizards, who have the fourth-worst defensive rating in the NBA. Plus, they allow 26.2 points, 7.8 assists, and 6.6 rebounds per game to point guards.
Since Winslow qualifies as a point guard and is super cheap, he’ll be significantly valued a night with limited options.
Shooting Guard
Dillon Brooks, Memphis Grizzlies $5,400
104 combined fantasy points for Dillon Brooks and Ja Morant ‼️

Brooks has been an unsung hero in DFS lineups all season long, and it’s time for him to do it again.
He is averaging 15.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.6 assists for the season. Brooks has been on fire averaging 16.2 points, 2.8 assists, 2.6 rebounds, 1.8 steals, and one block in his previous five games.
Also, he is coming off two consecutive 20-plus points games, so all systems go on Brooks against the Wizards.
Small Forward
Josh Richardson, Dallas Mavericks $4,900
Richardson has been fan-freaking-tastic. He is averaging 12.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.4 assists in his last ten games.
Now, he is going against the Spurs, who allow the third-most fantasy points to small forwards. Opposing SF average 23.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game!
Power Forward
Rui Hachimura, Washington Wizards $5,300

Hachimura has four consecutive games without double-digit points, which should turn for him tonight. Despite his current scoring streak, he is still averaging 11.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.1 steals in his last ten games.
The Grizzlies are a tough matchup for Hachimura, but his teammates Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook will hopefully divert the defensive attention away from Hachimura.
Center
Jakob Poeltl, San Antonio Spurs $6,000
Poeltl is a substantial contributor. He gets plenty of minutes and posts decent stat lines; he’ll never explode with a huge game, but he will walk away with a double-double or get really close to a double-double.
Poeltl is averaging 7.9 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.3 blocks, and 1.6 assists in his last ten games. So, there is a high probability that he’ll get a double-double against the Mavericks, who allow the fifth-most fantasy points to centers.
Dallas allows 23.6 points, 14.9 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game to centers. All signs point to the Mavericks struggling to keep this big man in check.
