Today's NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings, FanDuel DFS Lineups, Values, Stacks (Monday, 3/23/26)

Welcome back, RotoBallers! The NBA has 10 games on the scoreboard this Monday, and both DraftKings and FanDuel are including the first eight of those 10 games on the main NBA DFS slate. The two late games in Portland and Inglewood are not ont the main slate, but with 16 teams in the player pool, there are still plenty of good DFS fantasy basketball options to consider. These articles focus on the best overall plays, which are typically more suited to cash games. However, some exceptions may apply, depending on the size of the slate.

Especially at this point of the season, watching the injury report updates will be critical to finalizing your strategy. The Raptors are the only team on the main slate playing for the second day in a row, and they have a very favorable matchup in Utah against the Jazz after losing big in Phoenix on Sunday. Their injury report will be important to watch for, along with adjusting for the absence of some big names, such as Cade Cunningham, Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, and Stephen Curry. Jalen Johnson is questionable, along with Stephon Castle, and almost the entire Pacers roster. Keep a close eye on the NBA injury news and make adjustments as needed.

This article will provide you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 3/23/26.

NBA DFS Core Picks

Cooper Flagg, DAL - PG/SF on DK, PG/SG/SF on FD

• DraftKings: $8.8K 
• FanDuel: $9.7K

Flagg and the Mavericks are hosting the Warriors in the final game of the DFS slate on both sites, and the No. 1 overall pick from last year's NBA Draft can be a late-night hammer that stuffs the stat sheet and delivers elite upside. Flagg has been playing well lately and should get a heavy workload against the Warriors, who have dropped three straight and eight of their last nine games, allowing an average of 118.7 points per game.

On Saturday, Flagg posted 51 DraftKings points and 52 FanDuel points on 18 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists, and four blocks against the Clippers. He played a massive 41 minutes in the team's overtime loss, and should continue to have a big workload in a more favorable matchup against the Warriors. In his last four games, Flagg has gone over 45 DraftKings points three times, with his best game coming in Cleveland, where he posted 27 points, 10 assists, and six rebounds. He has a high ceiling and a high floor as a result of his multi-category contributions, and his hustle on both ends of the floor makes him a fun player to build around.

Daniss Jenkins, DET - PG on DK, PG/SG on FD

• DraftKings: $6K 
• FanDuel: $6.9K

With Cade Cunningham out, Jenkins is getting another chance to step up for the Pistons. The second-year guard from St. John's only played seven games as a rookie but has made 10 starts this season, including the last two games since Cunningham's injury. He struggled a little with his shot against the Wizards, going just 3-for-16 and finishing with 22 DraftKings points, but he turned it around with a huge game at home against the Warriors, finishing with 43.75 DraftKings poitns on 22 points, eight assists, and seven rebounds in 38 minutes.

He should continue to carry the workload in the backcourt for the Pistons while Cunningham is out, and on Monday, they have a huge game against Luka Doncic and the Lakers. Getting him at his affordable salary with such high upside is a strong spot to start you roster construction this Monday.
