3/24 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!

Cleveland Cavaliers @ Toronto Raptors
Vegas Total: 214.5
Vegas Spread: Tor -3.5
Starting with the Cavs, Darius Garland is gonna be a premier play here tonight on a smaller slate, as he’s been white hot over the past few weeks. Jarrett Allen is out for the foreseeable future as well, so Evan Mobley is going to continue to be a solid target but the price has come up on both sites. Isaac Okoro has some big upside but he rarely reaches it, he’s a MME type play here. Lauri Markkanen has also been seeing big minutes and Lamar Stevens has been starting and is a cheap option as well. Kevin Love and Caris LeVert are the main guys off the bench but they need 25+ minutes each to really hit value and they haven’t been getting it.
Now for the Raptors, Fred VanVleet is gonna be the top option as he has the best matchup of anyone on this Raptors team. Gary Trent has also been seeing big minutes but he’s a GTD here tonight. It is a toss up between Khem Birch, Precious Achiuwa, and Chris Boucher as to who is going to get the most minutes, it depends on who is the hot hand so they are GPP dart throw plays. Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes are also solid options here tonight, but this isn’t a great game to target as this game has the lowest total on the night.
5-star play: Darius Garland, Fred VanVleet
4-star play: Pascal Siakam, Evan Mobley, Lauri Markkanen, Scottie Barnes
Deeper Value: Isaac Okoro, Lamar Stevens, Kevin Love, Caris LeVert, Khem Birch, Precious Achiuwa, Chris Boucher
GPP Sleeper: Isaac Okoro, Chris Boucher
Indiana Pacers @ Memphis Grizzlies
Vegas Total: 235.5
Vegas Spread: Mem -12.5
From the initial report, Brog, Jackson, Duarte, and Smith are all out for the Pacers tonight. Tyrese Haliburton is gonna be the premier option play here tonight especially with Ja out, Buddy Hield also has big upside as he showed last night but he can be a bit scoring dependent at times, but Duarte being out helps him big time. Goga Bitadze is gonna be a nice option here as well with their other 2 bigs out and Oshae Brissett is also very solid here as his price has come way down. Justin Anderson is gonna be a solid option here as well given his price, he saw 30 minutes last night and he’s dirt cheap.
Now for the Grizzlies, Ja Morant is gonna be out here tonight, which will make Desmond Bane a premier play, he was a mad man last night and draws another good matchup here tonight. Dillon Brooks and Tyus Jones are also really solid mid-range plays here as they should both see 30+ minutes as well. Jaren Jackson and Steven Adams are both in play here as well, but both are volatile so they’ll be GPP only for me tonight. If you’re looking to get really deep De’Anthony Melton saw the most minutes of anyone off the bench and has some nice upside in GPPs.
5-star play: Tyrese Haliburton, Desmond Bane
4-star play: Buddy Hield, Goga Bitadze, Dillon Brooks, Tyus Jones, Jaren Jackson, Steven Adams
Deeper Value: Justin Anderson, Oshae Brissett, De’Anthony Melton
GPP Sleeper: Justin Anderson, De’Anthony Melton

Washington Wizards @ Milwaukee Bucks
Vegas Total: 233
Vegas Spread: Mil -12
Starting with the Wizards, Kristaps Porzingis is gonna be your best option here tonight especially if Kyle Kuzma is out again, as he will see huge usage and he’s not that expensive here. If he misses again, Rui Hachimura will become one of the best value plays on the slate and I’ll love him in GPPs. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is also solid for GPPs IF Kuzma is out, if he is in then fade him. Raul Neto and Ish Smith are splitting minutes at the point and Tomas Satoransky is seeing solid minutes as well. Deni Avdija is also seeing big minutes off the bench and if this game blows out then he’s going to see around 30 minutes.
Now for the Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo is gonna be the premier play on the slate here, but there is some blowout risk here so keep that in mind. 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, Middleton missed last game so keep an eye on that, if he misses again Jrue will be a nice option. 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. Brook Lopez is back though so that takes some upside off of Portis but he is cheap on both sites.
5-star play: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kristaps Porzingis
4-star play: Jrue Holiday, Rui Hachimura, Khris Middleton (if in), Bobby Portis
Deeper Value: Raul Neto, Tomas Satoransky, Brook Lopez, Grayson Allen, Deni Avdija
GPP Sleeper: Tomas Satoransky
Chicago Bulls @ New Orleans Pelicans
Vegas Total: 228.5
Vegas Spread: Chi -1
Starting with the Bulls, Zach LaVine has been playing very well, and he’s decently cheap on both sites given his upside with Ball out, I like him again here tonight. 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’s running the 2nd unit here with Caruso back. Coby White is also in play as he is seeing nearly 30 minutes off the bench and running their second unit along with Dosunmu. 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. Alex Caruso is also starting at PG now, if he can see 30+ minutes he should be a nice value play here as well and I’ll like him alot.
Now for the Pelicans, CJ McCollum has the most usage on this team, and he should feast in this one as the Bulls are not very good against guards. Jonas Valanciunas is the #2 guy on this team but he draws a tougher matchup here tonight going up against Vuc. Jaxson Hayes saw 38 minutes last game and he is a decent value here if he continues to get that type of playing time. For the rest of this Pelicans team, its a tossup between Herbert Jones, Naji Marshall, Willy Hernangomez, and Devonte’ Graham as to who can have a big game, they’re all GPP options here tonight.
5-star play: CJ McCollum
4-star play: Zach LaVine, Nikola Vucevic, DeMar Derozan, Jonas Valanciunas, Alex Caruso
Deeper Value: Jaxon Hayes, Naji Marshall, Devonte’ Graham, Ayo Dosunmu, Alex Caruso
GPP Sleeper: Jaxson Hayes, Alex Caruso, Nikola Vucevic
Phoenix Suns @ Denver Nuggets
Vegas Total: 231
Vegas Spread: Den -3
Starting with the Suns, Devin Booker is gonna be the premier play here tonight as he is really solid and the upside is definitely there tonight. Deandre Ayton had a career game last night and he is in play here as well, but he has a tough matchup going up against Jokic. Cameron Payne also has solid upside as well as the Nuggets are not great against PGs. Jae Crowder and Mikal Bridges are also viable here but they are a coinflip between the two, but Bridges has been the better of the two as of late. Torrey Craig and Landry Shamet are the main guys off the bench here and should see 20+ minutes.
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 this year as it’ll be a battle between him and Ayton. 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. That’s about all I want here, if you want to get really deep Austin Rivers has been seeing solid minutes as well.
5-star play: Devin Booker, Nikola Jokic
4-star play: Deandre Ayton, Cameron Payne, Will Barton, Aaron Gordon
Deeper Value: Mikal Bridges, Jae Crowder, Austin Rivers, Bones Hyland, Torrey Craig
GPP Sleeper: Mikal Bridges, Bones Hyland
