Jalen Brunson’s injury one possession into the Knicks game on March 3 was a blow to our DFS lineup picks and Sidney Crosby and the Penguins were hampered by the Oilers in a 6-1 blowout on the NHL side. Our model did go 1-1 on underdog NHL picks on the night, predicting the Coyotes to beat the Capitals at +114, while being on the wrong side of the Devils 5-1 loss to the Kings.

DraftKings ScreenshotHere’s a lineup core for you to consider.
There are six NBA games on the docket for tonight’s main DraftKings classic slate. Our AI-powered dfsPro model recommends anchoring your lineup with Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The lineup core also includes SG Collin Sexton, SF John Konchar, PF John Collins, C Bobby Portis, and G Patrick Beverley.
This lineup core leaves you $12,800 in remaining salary to fill the final forward spot and the utility position. Here are a couple of players to consider as you finish your lineup:
PG Keyonte George ($6,300)
The Jazz guard has averaged 23.5 fantasy points per game this season on DraftKings, but our model projects him to have 39.31 tonight. He is coming off a 42.5-fantasy-point performance.
PF GG Jackson ($5,100)
Jackson had 28.5 fantasy points in his last outing.
PF Kyle Kuzma ($7,400)
Our model projects Kuzma to be one of the top forwards in tonight’s slate with a projection of 43.51 fantasy points.
SG Vince Williams Jr. ($6,800)
Our model gives Williams a projection of 38.3 fantasy points tonight, well above his average on DraftKings of 24.5 per game.

College Basketball Prop Picks for March 4, 2024
It’s a quiet slate in college basketball tonight with only two high-major games on tap: Duke at North Carolina State in the ACC and Texas at Baylor in the Big 12. But there are still a few prop picks that provide a good value in those matchups:
Duke F Mark Mitchell Over 12.5 Points (-110)
Our AI-powered model projects Mitchell to have 12.9 points tonight. The Blue Devils forward is averaging 12.7 points per game.
Texas G Tyrese Hunter Over 3.5 Assists (+110)
Our model projects Hunter to have 3.8 assists tonight. Hunter is averaging 4.2 assists per game this season.
Baylor F Jalen Bridges Over. 1.5 3-pointers Made (-170)
Our projections put Bridges right at his 1.5 3-pointers made prop tonight on 4.5 attempts. The Bears forward has made at least 3 shots from long-range in his past four games and has attempted at least 4 3-pointers during that stretch, including 6 attempts against TCU, 7 against Houston and 8 against BYU. He hit 5 of 9 3-pointers in Baylor’s first matchup against Texas.
