OwnersBox NBA DFS Format
What is up, Grinders! We are here to talk about OwnersBox! This site is very creative for the NBA, as it has given us what we’ve been craving for what feels like an eternity. We are getting incredible flexibility for all positions. It consists of 4 guard positions, 4 frontcourt positions, and a superflex. How many days have you wanted to play 5 centers because of the value but have only been limited to 2? OwnersBox is here to give you that fix and allow very creative lineup building. This is revolutionary for the DFS enthusiast, and I am here to talk through a handful of plays each week that I hope carry us to the finish line.
Top NBA DFS Picks for March 8, 2024
Saddiq Bey ($4,500)
We are getting really good value on Saddiq Bey tonight. He is one of the more interesting tournament plays on the board due to them being a little shorthanded. Trae Young has been out for a while now, but they will also be with Jalen Johnson tonight. Throw in the fact that their primary backup center has also been missing, and it’s easy to see why Bey could have a shot at some serious upside here. This team plays at one of the fastest paces in the league and gets a somewhat depleted Memphis team. Even though they are on the road, I see no problem with the Hawks handling business and think that Bey could be a huge part of that, with several absences in key spots.
Jordan Poole ($4,700)
I don’t know what has specifically happened for Jordan Poole recently, outside of coming off the bench as a 6th man. Whatever the case may be, it has totally transformed his game, and he’s now playing better as we get down to the latter half of the season. His shots are falling, and he’s contributing more across all categories. Tonight, he gets to face off with my beloved Charlotte Hornets on his home floor. I’m not worried about him in the slightest here as the Hornets are just dragging themselves to the finish line on what is a lost season in terms of playoff contention. Yes, there are developing players on the horizon, but developing is all it is, and Poole should feast off the bench in this position tonight.
Dejounte Murray ($7,500)
I think Dejounte has filled in admirably in the absence of Trae Young. I also think he will be overlooked on this small slate tonight because he is priced in the range of other studs like Lebron, Dame, Ant Edwards, etc. I think this is a mistake. With those key players on the sidelines, we’ve seen Murray sport a 30% usage rate and a tremendous spike in his assist rate as it sits at 41.27%. These are elite numbers for a guy who has the keys to the bus. I think he is someone that we strongly consider in tournaments tonight, even if the field isn’t as comfortable.
Closing Thoughts
We have a fair amount of really good point-per-dollar plays tonight. We need to be taking advantage of this while we can. The pricing will adjust at some point, but until it does, let’s continue to fire away at the best plays. Good luck Grinders!
