3/19 NBA DFS Full Court Press
Welcome to another year of the DFS Army NBA Full Court Press! Members had a ton of success using the Full Court Press along with various articles and tools that DFS Army provides last season, so we are glad to be back with another year of the all-inclusive article. You have to start your research somewhere, and oftentimes going game by game and breaking down every matchup and its key players is the first step in our process. My name is Steve aka @Mutt18 on Twitter, make sure to give me a follow as I’ll occasionally make updates to the advice in the article. But, you’ll mostly find me in our VIP coaching forums where I provide detailed lineup maneuvers and answer all lineup questions. We also have NEW pricing options, where you can sign up for WEEKLY access as opposed to be committed for a full month, so you have no excuse to try us out! With that said, let’s get it started!

Milwaukee Bucks @ Minnesota Timberwolves
Vegas Total: 243.5
Vegas Spread: Mil -3
Starting with the Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo is obviously going to be a premier play here tonight given the upside he has and how bad this MIN team is defensively, but there is obviously blowout risk tonight, although the spread is small here. Serge Ibaka is seeing decent minutes off the bench here and he would get some nice extra burn if this game blows out as well, I could see him feasting here in a short period of time. Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton are obviously both in play here as this is an island game at 5. Grayson Allen also has his starting role back and he’s decent for value here, and of course you can go to Bobby Portis for a mid range C play as well. Overall this is gonna be the best game to target and its not even on the main slate.
Now for the Wolves, Karl-Anthony Towns has a great matchup here as the Portis definitely isn’t known for his defense, he should be able to get whatever he wants here tonight. D’Angelo Russell is also a great play here, along with Anthony Edwards, but when both of them are healthy it is much harder to predict who will go off on a given night. Patrick Beverley has been nursing an injury, but he is in play as here but draws a tougher matchup here against Jrue and Co. Jarred Vanderbilt is also playing big minutes as well, but he’s a low usage guy in this offense, but if you need value on an island game he’s solid. Malik Beasley is also seeing decent minutes off the bench but he is scoring dependent as we know.
5-star play: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Karl-Anthony Towns
4-star play: D’Angelo Russell, Anthony Edwards, Bobby Portis, Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton
Deeper Value: Serge Ibaka, Grayson Allen, Jarred Vanderbilt, Malik Beasley
GPP Sleeper: Serge Ibaka
Dallas Mavericks @ Charlotte Hornets
Vegas Total: 225.5
Vegas Spread: Dal -1.5
Now for the Mavericks, Luka Doncic is the obvious main target here tonight as he has the highest upside of anyone on this slate on any given night, especially in a pace up game against the Hornets. Jalen Brunson has become a very solid play as well, he is solid even with the addition of Dinwiddie. Reggie Bullock has also been playing big minutes with Hardaway out and he is a decent value here as well. Outside of those guys I won’t really be targeting any of the Mavs as they aren’t a very friendly fantasy team. But if you want to get really deep, Maxi Kleber should split minutes at the 5 with Dwight Powell. Lastly, Spencer Dinwiddie has made a really nice addition to this team and is playing big minutes off the bench here, and he may even start in this one.
Now for the Hornets, LaMelo Ball has an insanely good matchup here tonight and he is still a bit too cheap especially on FanDuel who refuses to raise his price for whatever reason. Terry Rozier is also a solid play here but don’t pair him and LaMelo in the same lineup as he is getting quite pricey himself. Miles Bridges has a tougher matchup here tonight, but he should be virtually unowned so he could have GPP winning upside. Montrezl Harrell is solid as well coming off the bench, but he has been up and down as of late as well. Kelly Oubre is also in play for GPPs as well as he has insane scoring upside with Hayward still out here but he hasn’t been hitting that ceiling as of late. Cody Martin is also still seeing decent minutes but I don’t love him for value here tonight.
5-star play: Luka Doncic, LaMelo Ball
4-star play: Terry Rozier, Jalen Brunson, Spencer Dinwiddie, Miles Bridges
Deeper Value: Kelly Oubre, Cody Martin, Reggie Bullock, Maxi Kleber, Dwight Powell
GPP Sleeper: Cody Martin

Detroit Pistons @ Cleveland Cavaliers
Vegas Total: 216
Vegas Spread: Cle -7
Starting with the Pistons, Cade Cunningham is still too cheap on both sites here, but he does have a lot of volatility so you have to factor that in, but he did miss last game so that is something to keep an eye on here, but I think he’ll play in this one. Cory Joseph and Killian Hayes both split minutes at the 2, but as long as both are healthy I prefer Joseph for value here as he is the more consistent one and he usually closes out games, he’d be a premier play if Cade misses again. Saddiq Bey has slate breaking potential at low ownership here if he gets hot early as we know that he can fill it up, he’d see a nice boost if Cade misses again. Kelly Olynyk can pop off from time to time as well and this could be a matchup in which he does so. Jerami Grant is priced nicely on both sites as well, he has nice upside as FanDuel refuses to raise his price and he has 40+ upside, especially if Cade is out. Lastly, if you’re looking to get really deep, Isaiah Stewart is back and starting here for a deep option on a small slate.
Starting with the Cavs, Darius Garland is going to be back here tonight, but Rondo is still out so that still makes Brandon Goodwin viable here for value. Jarrett Allen broke his finger, so he’s going to be out here which makes me love Evan Mobley here as he draws a great matchup and he’ll likely slide over to the 5 here. Kevin Love may also start here, if he does he’ll be a core play from me tonight as he’ll smash that price tag if he gets close to 30 minutes. Lauri Markkanen is also a decent play as long as he continues to start at the 3 and will get more usage with Allen out. Lastly, Isaac Okoro saw 30+ last game as well and he’s cheap on both sites but he isn’t a high usage guy, he does moon every once and a while though so he’d be a big leverage value play tonight. Caris LeVert is also back here and priced in the mid-range, he could pop off here if he could see north of 30 minutes at his price tag on both sites.
5-star play: Darius Garland, Cade Cunningham
4-star play: Evan Mobley, Kevin Love, Saddiq Bey, Jerami Grant, Lauri Markkanen, Caris LeVert
Deeper Value: Isaac Okoro, Kelly Olynyk, Isaiah Stewart, Brandon Goodwin
GPP Sleeper: Caris LeVert
Los Angeles Lakers @ Washington Wizards
Vegas Total: 230
Vegas Spread: Wsh -1.5
Starting with the Lakers, the obvious play here will be LeBron James as AD is going to continue to be out here and he really does everything for this Lakers team, he’s going to need to continue these big performance if he wants to get the Lakers back on track, he has 70+ upside in this matchup. Russell Westbrook is also cheap on both sites here tonight, but as we all know he is having the worst year of his career here so he’s strictly GPP only here tonight even though we have the revenge narrative against his old team. Dwight Howard is in play for GPPs as well but his minutes have taken a nose dive even with AD out, but I think with KP they’ll need his big body here tonight. Austin Reaves has also been starting and playing solid minutes, he’s cheap on both sites as well but he isn’t a high usage guy here. Lastly, Malik Monk has also been solid and has nice upside here even with all these guards healthy for the Lakers. If you’re looking to get really deep, I’d have some interest in Stanley Johnson but only if he starts and that’s in GPPs only as this Lakers team is just an absolute mess right now.
Now for the Wizards, the main guy here with be Kristaps Porzingis as his price is hovering around 7K and he should see his full minutes here, he has 50+ upside in this matchup here. Kyle Kuzma’s price has also plummeted along with his usage, but if KP struggles he’ll pick up the slack and you have the revenge narrative here as well against his former team. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is also in play for the revenge factor here but his usage takes a huge hit with KP in the fold now. Overall, this team isn’t a fun one to target anymore but it has a decent total. Raul Neto and Ish Smith are splitting minutes at PG, either could pop off here going up against Russ tonight. Rui Hachimura is also seeing solid minutes off the bench and he is in play for value here given the matchup and small slate.
5-star play: LeBron James, Kristaps Porzingis
4-star play: Kyle Kuzma, Russell Westbrook, Malik Monk
Deeper Value: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Austin Reaves, Stanley Johnson, Dwight Howard, Raul Neto, Ish Smith
GPP Sleeper: Ish Smith
