3/22 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!

Golden State Warriors @ Orlando Magic
Vegas Total: 216.5
Vegas Spread: Gsw -8
Starting with the Warriors, Steph Curry looks like he’ll be out again here tonight which opens up a lot of value for this Warriors team. It looks like Klay Thompson will be in here, I like his price on FanDuel for the upside that he has for sure especially with Steph out here tonight. I never love him, but Andrew Wiggins is back as well and someone you can take a few shots on here with Steph out. Otto Porter and Jonathan Kuminga are both decent values as well with Draymond still limited. Kevon Looney should also see big minutes here as the Warriors are really hurting for bodies in their frontcourt and they need someone to bang with Bamba here tonight. Juan Toscano-Anderson would also be viable with Porter out as well and you could go to Nemanja Bjelica if you’re really looking to get crazy as he’s seen some solid minutes lately.
Now for the Magic, Cole Anthony has been heating up, and he’s still way too cheap on both sites, Jalen Suggs has already been ruled out here so that makes RJ Hampton a really good value play here, he’s dirt cheap but Markelle Fultz is also back here and seeing bigger minutes, but he is too pricey and I’d rather roll with Hampton. Mo Bamba has insane upside at any time especially at his price, but he rarely puts it together, but this is a good matchup as GS is bleeding FPs to bigs. Speaking of which Wendell Carter has been fantastic and is coming off a 60 FP game. Lastly, Franz Wagner has been solid for this Magic team as well and should see some nice usage with Suggs out.
5-star play: Klay Thompson, Cole Anthony
4-star play: Wendell Carter, Mo Bamba, Kevon Looney, Franz Wagner
Deeper Value: Nemanja Bjelica, Andrew Wiggins, Markelle Fultz, RJ Hampton
GPP Sleeper: Nemanja Bjelica, Mo Bamba
Atlanta Hawks @ New York Knicks
Vegas Total: 226
Vegas Spread: Atl -1.5
Starting with the Hawks, Trae Young is gonna be the premier play on this team, but he does draw a tougher matchup here as this will be a pace down game for this Hawks team. John Collins is likely going to be out here again, that makes Danilo Gallinari a decent play here as he has been starting in his place, but I’d really want De’Andre Hunter to be out as well before I get too high on him. Bogdan Bogdanovic has been running the 2nd unit as well and he’s a solid play here, along with Kevin Huerter as both of those guys should see around 30 minutes here, they are deeper MME type plays for sure. Lastly, Clint Capela hasn’t been playing his best ball as of late, but he is viable here tonight as he is cheap. If you’re looking to get really deep, Onyeka Okongwu should see some solid minutes here off the bench as well with Collins likely out.
Now for the Knicks, it looks like Julius Randle is out here tonight, which makes Mitchell Robinson a premier play on this slate as he should see huge minutes tonight against a bad Hawks frontcourt. RJ Barrett has been on fire as well but he is priced up as well here but I like the pace of this game for him and with Randle out he should feast here. Evan Fournier is still playing big minutes as well and he’s decently cheap as well. If you’re looking to get deeper, Immanuel Quickley and Alec Burks would also be viable with Kemba Walker not in the rotation anymore as well. Lastly, with Randle out I think you can get some Jericho Sims for value as he may even start here.
5-star play: Trae Young, RJ Barrett
4-star play: Mitchell Robinson, Danilo Gallinari, Clint Capela, Evan Fournier, Alec Burks
Deeper Value: Jericho Sims, Immanuel Quickley, Alec Burks, Onyeka Okongwu
GPP Sleeper: Jericho Sims, Immanuel Quickley

Chicago Bulls @ Milwaukee Bucks
Vegas Total: 231.5
Vegas Spread: Mil -6.5
Starting with the Bulls, this is going to be a big test for them as the Bucks have been establishing their dominance in the East as of late. Zach LaVine has been playing very well, and he’s decently cheap on both sites given his upside with Ball out, I like him against this MIL team that doesn’t defend the perimeter. Nikola Vucevic and DeMar Derozan will be in for huge usage although this isn’t a great matchup for the Bulls, but both are solid options in GPPs with their upside. Ayo Dosunmu is also in play here as he’ll start at the PG and he’s great at getting his teammates involved. Coby White is also in play as he is seeing nearly 30 minutes off the bench and running their second unit especially if this game gets ugly. Javonte Green is back and starting, and if you’re looking to get really deep, Patrick Williams is returning and should see around 25 minutes off the bench which at his price could be a slate breaker on a short slate like this one.
Now for the Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo missed last game, but he should be good to go here, I like him in all formats here tonight as the Bulls aren’t great defensively and don’t have anyone that can matchup with him. 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 well but would be great plays if Giannis is out. 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. We all know that Portis hates this Bulls team after how they treated him so he could feast in this one tonight, especially if Giannis were to miss for any reason. UPDATE: Looks like Middleton is going to be out here tonight, if that is the case I want whomever starts in his place, which would likely be Jordan Nwora.
5-star play: Giannis Antetokounmpo
4-star play: Zach LaVine, DeMar Derozan, Nikola Vucevic, Jrue Holiday, Bobby Portis
Deeper Value: Grayson Allen, Coby White, Patrick Williams, Jordan Nwora
GPP Sleeper: Patrick Williams, Jordan Nwora
Los Angeles Clippers @ Denver Nuggets
Vegas Total: 220
Vegas Spread: Den -6.5
Starting with the Clippers, they haven’t been a great team to target from a fantasy perspective, but we’ll dive in here as this should be an interesting hammer game. Ivica Zubac is gonna be in a tougher matchup here as he’ll get the Jokic treatment. Overall I won’t be targeting this Clippers team much, but Reggie Jackson can light it up from time to time as he has been hot and just went off a few games ago and this Nuggets team isn’t great against PGs. Terance Mann has been playing fantastic over the past few games, he’s a sneaky target in GPPs tonight. Marcus Morris is also in play here with Powell likely done for the year as he has some nice upside at this price if he can see close to 30 minutes, but he hasn’t been playing very well as of late. Lastly, Isaiah Hartenstein has been seeing big minutes off the bench as well and won’t have to deal with Jokic.
Now for the Nuggets, this game is going to be all about Nikola Jokic here, he should be able to get whatever he wants and has legit 90 FP upside as he showed a few games ago as Zubac won’t be able to stop him at all. Will Barton has also been solid and the price is way down on both sites here in a good matchup. Monte Morris and Bones Hyland have been splitting minutes at PG and my preference is on Bones here as he’s been way better. Aaron Gordon also has decent upside here even with Jokic healthy and is someone you can get different with here tonight. Lastly, you can take a few shots on JaMychal Green and hope that he gets hot from 3, but he is a GTD so keep an eye on that here tonight.
5-star play: Nikola Jokic
4-star play: Reggie Jackson, Will Barton, Terance Mann, Bones Hyland, Aaron Gordon
Deeper Value: Isaiah Hartenstein, Monte Morris
GPP Sleeper: Isaiah Hartenstein, Will Barton
