DFS Pick’Em Lounge: Friday, March 28th
In this blog, we look at the upcoming slates from a DFS picks and betting perspective. While NFL, NBA and MLB will be highlighted often, we’ll also dive into lesser-known markets.
Who knows, maybe you’ll get introduced to a new site and/or sport you enjoy? That’s one of the primary goals here.
6:00 PM ET:
Very little news has come in:
- Noah Clowney ruled out
- Trendon Watford & Ziaire Williams available
We’ll be eager to see if Giannis and Steph Curry end up playing this evening. Both are still considered questionable.
2:45 PM ET:
Some NBA player news:
- Max Strus & Ty Jerome listed out
- Noah Clowney now questionable
Remember we’ve already got confirmation on some big-time absences for Friday. Cade Cunningham, Damian Lillard, LaMelo Ball, Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum will all sit.
The likes of Stephen Curry and Giannis Antetokounmpo are still questionable at time of writing.
Nikola Jokic is probable and assuming he does end up playing, make sure to take advantage of the offers at Betr Picks:
Jokic’s points projection has been discounted, and there is a multiplier booster available on his rebounds number.
Unrelated to today’s slate, the Grizzlies parted ways with head coach Taylor Jenkins (!!!) and named Tuomas Iisalo the interim head coach. What a shock there.
Morning Check-In (8:00 AM ET):
NBA Slate: 7 Games
MLB Slate: 9 Games
NHL Slate: 6 Games
To kick off the weekend, we’ve got balanced slates across the board in basketball, baseball and hockey, on top of CBB Sweet Sixteen games, PGA Houston Open action and more.

What Is DFS Pick’Em?
As you may know, daily fantasy sports (DFS) picks have moved beyond simple tournaments and cash games.
Many DFS apps now offer more unique contests similar to player props in sports betting. They’re excellent alternatives if you don’t have legal sports betting sites in your state.
Even if you do have access to legal online sportsbooks, you might like DFS pick’em for something new. DFS sites have borrowed elements from the sports betting world to create engaging pick’em contests.
Pick’em requires you to choose “higher” or “lower” on player stats, such as points, rebounds, and three-pointers. For example, you may pick LeBron James to finish with more than 24.5 points on a certain site.
Very similar to prop bets available at legal online sportsbooks, it’s a perfect substitute for sports betting if you don’t have regulated sportsbooks in your state and may even be the preferable option.
