NBA DFS Picks: FanDuel Simulation Games for 3/28/20

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.

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:

Through April 3, we’ll also be running a $15,000 Bracket Challenge with $10,000 to first. You’ve made your bracket picks and if you get the highest score you could walk away with $10,000. Tonight we have a battle between the 2004-05 Phoenix Suns and the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls. Click here to enter.

And don’t forget, FANDUEL is running a FREEROLL contest based off the Awesemo Sim for tonight’s game. To get in, just follow THIS LINK.

Additional details regarding both the $15,000 Bracket Challenge and the Daily Contests, including full Terms and Conditions, are available here: http://https://bit.ly/FanDueleNBA. Thank you for supporting us and we’re thrilled to have this opportunity to give something back. 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: Top Tier

James Harden benefits from the games that he played without Russell Westbrook this season as it increases his ceiling. He has exceeded his target score in 27.4 percent of his games this season, making him the most likely top tier option to do so tonight.

Andre Drummond is my preferred option among the top-tier centers. There isn’t much separating Drummond, Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid as they have a 17.5, 16.7 and 17.8 percent chance of reaching their target score, respectively. I give the edge to Drummond, however, because he has the best chance of exceeding a 4x plus 10 point floor (42.1 percent) and he has the highest absolute ceiling of the group at 81.6 FanDuel points.

NBA DFS Picks: Middle Tier

Ricky Rubio is a surprisingly strong option in this format. He has exceeded his target score in 21.1 percent of his games this season and he offers a 68.1 point absolute ceiling, which is the same as his more expensive teammate Devin Booker.

Jonas Valanciunas is my favorite center on the slate as his average doesn’t accurately represent his wide range of outcomes. Valanciunas has exceeded his target score in 25.8 percent of games this season and he has an absolute ceiling of 61.4 points.

Kelly Oubre is inexpensive and also plays the weakest position. He has exceeded his target score in 25 percent of his games this season and his highest score is 59.5 FanDuel points.

NBA DFS Picks: Value Tier

Coby White is always one of the top values as his recent play prior to the suspension of NBA games gives him more quality games than most players priced around him. He has a 26.2 percent chance of exceeding his target score at $4,200 and his highest scoring games this season was 47.2 FanDuel points.

Shake Milton is much riskier than White because he did virtually nothing in most of his games this season. He offers a massive ceiling for $3,600, however, as he has exceeded 10 times his salary three times this season with a ceiling of 51.1 points. Overall, he outscored his target score in 18.8 percent of his games this season.
