I’ll break down the board by looking at factors like usage rates, projected pace, lines in the sports betting market, and of course, our RotoGrinders projections to forecast how NBA players might fare in categories like points, rebounds, and assists.

Underdog Fantasy Top NBA Picks for 3/24
Now that you’re signed up, here are some of our top NBA picks on Underdog for 3/24 at a glance:
- Luka Doncic Higher/Lower Than 43.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
- Jordan Goodwin Higher/Lower Than 9.5 Points + Rebounds
- Jakob Poeltl Higher/Lower Than 12.5 Points
Lakers vs. Magic NBA Underdog Fantasy Predictions
Here are the Lakers vs. Magic NBA Underdog Fantasy predictions for tonight:
Luka Doncic Lower Than 43.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Doncic is projected by us to have 38.95 Points + Rebounds + Assists, which is significantly lower than the 43.5 mark. With our simulations indicating a 7.8% edge, this pick boasts a 61.8% probability of success.
These numbers suggest that choosing lower than 43.5 is a solid pick for tonight. This subpar expectation isn’t too surprising since our Defense vs. Archetypes Tool has this as one of the worst matchups on the board.
Jordan Goodwin Lower Than 9.5 Points + Rebounds
Goodwin is projected by us to have 6.94 Points + Rebounds, which is comfortably lower than the 9.5 mark. Our simulations are showing an 8.9% edge with a 66.7% probability of success.
Given these figures, opting for lower than 9.5 appears to be a wise choice for tonight. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Goodwin struggle vs. a Magic defense that ranks 2nd in defensive rating.
Raptors vs. Wizards NBA Underdog Fantasy Predictions
Here are the Raptors vs. Wizards NBA Underdog Fantasy predictions for tonight:
Jakob Poeltl Higher Than 12.5 Points
Poeltl is projected by us to score 16.12 Points, quite a bit higher than the 12.5 mark. With our simulations indicating a 6.1% edge, this pick carries a 63.9% probability of success.
Poeltl should be able to exploit a Wizards defense that ranks 28th in defensive rating.
