Dallas Mavericks vs. San Antonio Spurs
March 10, 2025 8:30 pm EDT
The NBA presents a regular season matchup featuring the San Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Mavericks. Let’s take a look at this game from a Draftkings perspective.
Prior to discussing the San Antonio Spurs vs. Dallas Mavericks game let’s review the rules for Draftkings single game showdown contest.
Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules
You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.
The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy pots. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.
If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.
*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.
Here are my Draftkings picks for this evening’s Dallas Mavericks vs. San Antonio Spurs matchup.
Draftkings NBA Showdown Picks
Captain-Devin Vassell, Forward, San Antonio Spurs $8,000
Forward Devin Vassell has been a standout performer for the San Antonio Spurs this season. Vassell’s offensive versatility and his ability to contribute on the defensive side of the basketball have made him one of the rising stars for the Spurs this season.
In the 47 games that center Devin Vassell has played for the San Antonio Spurs in the 2024 NBA regular season, Sengun is averaging 28.6 Draftkings points a game.
Three days ago, in the San Antonio Spurs 127-113 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, San Antonio forward Devin Vassell certainly played at a high level. More specifically, Vassell compiled 37 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, four steals and one block in the Spurs win over the Brooklyn Nets.
Looking at the data just presented more closely, in the San Antonio Spurs victory over the Grizzlies just mentioned, Devin Vassell accumulated a massive 72.8 Draftkings points. It has to be said, those are the type of DFS numbers that I need to see from a player that I select at the captain position.
As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the captain position for a Draftkings NBA showdown lineup is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) DFS contest. Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups for this one game DFS slate.
In my view, Devin Vassell presents the best fantasy value of any player on this one game DFS slate. With that said, I am rolling with San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NBA Showdown contest.
Flex Plays
De’Aaron Fox, Point Guard, San Antonio Spurs $11,200
In addition to forward Devin Vassell, point guard De’Aaron Fox has been a key contributor to the San Antonio Spurs team achievements this season.
In the 60 games that De’Aaron Fox has played in the 2024 NBA regular season, Fox has averaged 23.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.3 blocks a game.
Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 60 games that De’Aaron Fox has played this season, Fox has compiled a 44.2% field goal percentage, a 27.4% three-point percentage and an 81.3% free throw percentage.
Additional flex plays I like to play well (Draftkings price noted): Naji Marshall, Forward (Dallas Mavericks) $8,800: Klay Thompson, Guard (Dallas Mavericks) $7,800.
