DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 24

Make your best DraftKings NBA lineup with the help of FanSided! Get DFS NBA information here before the DraftKings tourneys begin!

DraftKings is switching it up tonight. The main tournaments usually include all the games on the slate, unless there is one very early game. Tonight that won’t be the case. They decided to leave the two late games off the main tournaments, and I can’t imagine people are too happy about it.

The two games being left off are juicy fantasy point bonanzas: Kings vs. Warriors and Timberwolves vs. Lakers. I chatted with customer service this morning and asked why they are doing this. Here is their response:

"“We are doing this because we have received user feedback that people want the main set to end earlier, our Contest Operations team creates these contests at their own discretion, and they are posted once we have receive (sic) all pertinent and correct information relating to the contest.”"

So we are to believe that after years of DFS NBA all of the sudden people want the main tourneys to end sooner? It’s nonsense. This is merely a way to get players to enter more tournaments.

With that bit of housecleaning out of the way, let’s dig into the games to forge our best DFS NBA lineups. I will be concentrating just on the main slate games. Hit me up on Twitter if you’d like late game recommendations.
