NBA Daily Fantasy Helper: Monday 4/3/17

If you're new to daily fantasy basketball -- maybe you started your DFS journey during the MLB or NFL seasons, or maybe basketball is your sport and this will be your first year giving it a shot -- you're in for a treat. The NBA scene changes hugely on a week-to-week, day-to-day, and depending on injury news, even a minute-to-minute basis, making every slate a unique one that requires an ever-changing approach.

With so much changing so quickly, we're here with plenty of tools to help you out. We have daily projections, a matchup heat map, a lineup optimizer and a handful of other awesome tools to help give you an edge.

We'll also be coming at you with a primer every day, breaking down a few of the day's top plays at each price point.

With only one game on tap on Monday, FanDuel has given us a Monday-Tuesday slate that includes late-swap, so only players from tonight's Minnesota Timberwolves versus Portland Trail Blazers game will actually lock tonight. Our usual Tuesday DFS content will help you out with that part of the slate, so I'm going to focus in mostly on players in action tonight, while only brielfy touching on Tuesday's action.
