Today's free NBA DFS picks for DraftKings, FanDuel (March 10th, 2026). Koby's daily fantasy basketball lineups, values, stacks, pivots, sleepers for NBA DFS.

Welcome Back, RotoBallers! The NBA starts a busy week off with an 11-game slate, seven of which are going to make up our Main slate for DFS tournaments on DraftKings and FanDuel. The injury reports have been while, so as you approach that 7 pm EST deadline each day, make sure you are available to update your lineups as things have been all over the place recently.

Some important players like Tyrese Maxey, Kevin Porter Jr., Joel Embiid, Norman Powell, and Ausar Thompson have already been ruled out. Key guys like VJ Edgecombe, Ty Jerome, Grayson Allen, Payton Pritchard, and Jonathan Kuminga are all questionable to play. They could lead to fantasy implications for the rest of their teammates. Keep an eye on the injury reports throughout the day.

This article will provide you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 3/10/26. Remember to monitor NBA injury news and our awesome NBA injuries report tool, as the slate can completely change before lineups lock at 7:00 p.m. ET on FanDuel and DraftKings.

NBA DFS Core Picks

Jalen Johnson, ATL - SF (FD)/PF

• DraftKings: $10,500
• FanDuel: $11,300

I believe when starting with your core plays, you have to take one of those top four guys on the slate. I'm going with Jalen Johnson here, as he is in by far the best matchup of those four guys. On DK, he is the cheapest of the four.  This Dallas defense has been getting progressively worse throughout the season, and I think that with Cooper Flagg back in the lineup, they should be able to keep it a bit closer, which should allow Johnson to play maximum minutes.

He did have a down game against Portland, but besides that, he has had 40+ fantasy points in his last 15 games! That creates a nice floor for us, and with a guy like Johnson, the ceiling is very high. The Dallas defense has given up the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing PFs across the last 15 games. Between those top four guys, I'm fairly confident that Johnson will finish the best of the four, especially if Kuminga remains out for this game.

Bam Adebayo, MIA - C/PF (FD)

• DraftKings: $8,400
• FanDuel: $8,600

The Wizards' defense has been a DFS dream for opposing centers this season. In just 28 minutes, Bam had almost 50 fantasy points in their last matchup. He has been playing extremely well recently, with 40+ fantasy points in five of his last six games. All season long, the Wizards have had the worst defense against centers, giving up the most fantasy points.

With Andrew Wiggins and Powell both out, they will rely on Adebayo and Tyler Herro for the scoring. If Kel'el Ware ends up being out as well, that should give Adebayo full reign over the frontcourt. This is the perfect spot for a big man so that I will have a ton of Adebayo. When playing centers, the only other option I'm considering is Jalen Duren or Sandro Mamukelashvili (if no Poeltl), who also has a solid matchup.

NBA DFS Tournament Pivots

Devin Booker, PHO - PG/SG

• DraftKings: $8,700
• FanDuel: $9,000

For tournaments, I'm really liking Devin Booker for this spot. The Milwaukee Bucks have struggled on defense against guards, and now get a shooting guard who, in the last three games, has shot the ball extremely well. He has scored 27+ points while finishing with 42+ fantasy points in the last three games. The Bucks are giving up the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing guards this season.

"We just built a camaraderie throughout the year, we've gotten closer. It's fun to be a part of."

These last few games, since Booker came back from injury, he has really pushed the ball a lot more and has even found himself at the line more often than usual. Being aggressive against the Bucks is a good way to keep them on their toes, as they are in the bottom 10 in PACE this season. The Suns play at a slow pace as well, but if Booker continues to push the ball and shoot a lot, then we could see another solid showing from Booker.

Quentin Grimes, PHI - SG/PG (DK)/SF (FD)

• DraftKings: $6,900
• FanDuel: $6,400

Quentin Grimes is about all the 76ers have left. Maxey, Embiid, Edgecome, and Paul George are all out. That pretty much leaves Grimes and Kelly Oubre Jr. to do all the work, and even then, Oubre only played 13 minutes in last night's game against the Cavaliers. Grimes hasn't had a massive game with all these guys out, but I think this is a good spot for him to do so.

Grimes sees his USG% more than double! He goes from 18% when those guys are on the court to a 37.5% when they are off. The opportunity is there for him to have a massive game. He gets a good matchup here: the Grizzlies, who are littered with injuries, have given up the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing guards this season and the most in the last seven games. He might be a little chalky for Tournaments, but all around, I think Grimes is an elite play.

Today's NBA DFS Value Picks

Ziaire Williams, BKN - SF/SG

• DraftKings: $4,500
• FanDuel: $4,500

Ziaire Williams has started to put it together and has recently received a bit more playing time. He has four straight games of 25+ fantasy points, which is good for 6x his price. He has been shooting much better, scoring in double digits in all four of those games. I don't expect a lot out of him, especially with Michael Porter Jr. likely returning to the lineup, but he should still be good for 20-25 minutes. With Egor Demin out, they should rely on Williams and Nolan Traore to handle the majority of the guard duties.

Sandro Mamukelashvili, TOR - C

• DraftKings: $4,800
• FanDuel: $5,300

I briefly mentioned Mamukelashvili earlier, so if you are looking for a cheap pivot at C, then Mamu might be your guy. Jakob Poeltl appears to be ill and is at risk of missing this game. If he isn't good to go, Mamu is in line for the start. He had a brief four-game stint in January when both Poelt and Collin Murray-Boyles were out. This allowed Mamu to have games with fantasy points ranging from 25 to 42. That is a 5x to 9x range for his price!

Houston makes for a tough matchup, but the Raptors will need his size out there if Poeltl is unable to go for this one.

Rayan Rupert, MEM - SG (FD)/SF

• DraftKings: $4,500
• FanDuel: $4,100

Keep a close eye on the injury report, because Rupert could drop to a minimal-sized role if a bunch of guys come back from injury for tonight's game. Jerome, Cedric Coward, Taylor Hendricks, and Scotty Pippen Jr. would all change their roles. If the majority of those guys remain out, then I like Rupert to take on a decent-sized role as he did in last night's contest, where he finished with 38 fantasy points, which is likely the best showing of his young career.
