NBA DFS Top Plays for March 13th 2023
Monday 3/13/23 is shaping up to be an exciting day for NBA DFS players, with a plethora of top plays to consider for both DraftKings and FanDuel lineups. In this article, we’ll explore the NBA DFS top plays for Monday 3/13/23 and help you create an optimal lineup to dominate your competition.
Jayson Tatum
Tatum has been a consistent performer this season, averaging over 53 fantasy points per game and boasting a 40-point floor. With the Rockets’ defense ranking 28th in points allowed and 29th in defensive efficiency ratings, Tatum should have no trouble rolling through them. In their previous matchup earlier in the year, Tatum dropped a whopping 60 DK points, making him an even more enticing option for Monday’s slate.
While there aren’t a ton of studs to choose from on Monday’s slate, Tatum stands out as the clear top choice. With Luka Doncic out and Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kyrie Irving questionable, Tatum is a no-brainer pick for DFS players looking to maximize their lineup’s potential
Despite the potential blowout risk with the Celtics being favored by 12.5 points on the road, Tatum offers excellent upside if the game stays competitive. With the Celtics’ implied team total of 122.0 ranking third on the slate, Tatum’s scoring potential is undeniable, making him an optimal pick for your NBA DFS lineup on Monday 3/13/23.
Trae Young
Trae Young has been one of the most consistent fantasy guards in the league since the start of February, averaging a double-double on 26.2 points and 10.7 assists. He has tallied 45 or more fantasy points in 13 of the 15 games during that span, making him a reliable option for DFS players looking for a high floor.
Despite the Timberwolves ranking 10th in overall defensive efficiency, they struggle against guards, giving up the fourth-most fantasy points to the position. With Young’s impressive track record and the Timberwolves’ defensive weakness, he is the top payup at the guard position and in play in all formats.
The Hawks’ matchup against the Timberwolves is also favorable for Young. Minnesota ranks sixth in pace this season, and with a total of 245.0 points expected in this contest, Young should have plenty of opportunities to contribute. The Hawks’ implied team total of 125.25 also ranks first on the slate, making Young an excellent option for your NBA DFS lineup on Monday 3/13/23.

Jimmy Butler
Another top play to consider for NBA DFS on Monday 3/13/23 is Jimmy Butler of the Miami Heat. With a salary of $8,700 on DraftKings and $9,400 on FanDuel, Butler offers excellent value for both cash games and tournaments.
Despite Miami’s somewhat lackluster season, Butler has been consistently producing impressive numbers. He has scored at least 44 DK points in six straight games, averaging 49 points in that span. Against a Utah team that ranks 21st in points allowed and 23rd in defensive efficiency, Butler should continue to thrive.
Butler is a solid play in all formats. With his recent impressive performances and favorable matchup, Butler is a must-consider for your NBA DFS lineup on Monday 3/13/23.
Chris Paul
For NBA DFS players looking for a solid point guard option on Monday 3/13/23, Chris Paul of the Phoenix Suns should be at the top of the list. With Kevin Durant out for the next 2-3 weeks, Paul will have to take on more responsibility, which should translate to a bump in usage and fantasy production. In the last two games without Durant, Paul has collected 46 and 51 DraftKings points, highlighting his potential to deliver big numbers.
Against the Warriors, Paul has a strong track record, scoring at least 41 DK points in four of his last six matchups with Golden State. He should also find plenty of room to thrive offensively against a Warriors team that gives up the league’s second-most turnovers per game and the fourth-most points per game to point guards.
Paul’s recent performances have only added to his appeal, totaling 50.5 DK points in his last outing and averaging 11.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 10.6 assists, and 2.0 steals over five games. With his well-rounded production and favorable matchup, Paul is a solid pick for your NBA DFS lineup on Monday 3/13/23.
