FanDuel Daily Fantasy NBA: Mountain Dew Super Trey Day Strategy Guide

The NBA has fully embraced the three-pointer, and March 3rd, a.k.a. Trey Day should have plenty of long-range splashes as a result.
And with Mountain Dew partnering with FanDuel and FanDuel Sportsbook for Trey Day, we've got More Ways to Win tonight.
At FanDuel Sportsbook, you can place a $25-plus pre-live bet on the first basket scorer on any eligible 3/3 NBA game, and you'll receive $1 in site credit for each three-pointer either team scores in the game (maximum of $25). You can read more on the details at FanDuel Sportsbook.
But if daily fantasy is more your angle, you're covered there, too.
On FanDuel, you can join the $500K Mountain Dew NBA Clutch Shot for just $3.33. The contest comes with an additional opportunity to win a share of a $33K three-point bonus if all of your players make a three-pointer.
There's also the free-to-play Mountain Dew 3-Point Challenge contest in which your three-player lineup will get rewarded for (you guessed it) every three-pointer they splash for an opportunity to win a share of the $3,333 cash prize.
These notes should help build three-point-friendly lineups.
Best Three-Point Matchups
Let's look at the teams who allow the highest rate and most three-pointers on the slate.
The reason to look for this rather than three-point field goal percentage is because teams can defend the arc by not allowing three-pointers but don't have much control over whether opponents make the threes against them.
This table is initially sorted by the offenses who face the defenses with the highest three-point attempt rate allowed (the percentage of field goal attempts faced that come from beyond the arc).
