NBA DFS Projections & Optimizer Picks Today | March 29
High-End Tier
Luka Doncic ($12,000) currently has the highest projection on the slate and should project even better if Joel Embiid, currently listed as questionable, is ultimately ruled out for the opposing 76ers. Doncic is projected for 4% ownership, a 26% chance of booming and 6% chance of optimality, per the Stokastic Boom/Bust Tool.
Ja Morant ($9,000) has a great value score on the high end, as the Grizzlies are expected to be without Desmond Bane, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Tyus Jones against the Clippers. Morant is projected for 54% ownership, a 77% chance of booming and 43% chance of optimality.
Mid-Tier
Keon Johnson ($5,000) currently has the highest value score on the entire slate for a Trail Blazers team that will be missing all of its stars. Johnson played 31 minutes off the bench last time out and now gets a nice matchup against a Kings team ranked 25th in defensive rating and 11th in pace. Johnson is projected for 51% ownership, an 83% chance of booming and 73% chance of optimality.
Jordan Nwora ($5,200) projects nicely for the Pacers, with Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield, and Chris Duarte out and Myles Turner questionable against the Bucks. Nwora is projected for 28% ownership, a 32% chance of booming and 21% chance of optimality.
Isaiah Joe ($4,800) has a nice leverage score for the Thunder as they take on the Pistons without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Joe is projected for 3% ownership, a 12% chance of booming and 8% chance of optimality.
