San Antonio Spurs vs. Detroit Pistons
March 25, 2025 7:00 pm EDT
The NBA presents a regular season matchup featuring the San Antonio Spurs and the Detroit Pistons. Let’s take a look at this game from a Draftkings perspective.
Prior to discussing the San Antonio Spurs vs. Detroit Pistons 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 San Antonio Spurs vs. Detroit Pistons matchup.
Draftkings NBA Showdown Picks
Captain-Devin Vassell, Guard, San Antonio Spurs $9,000
Guard 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 55 games that guard Devin Vassell has played for the San Antonio Spurs in the 2024 NBA regular season, Vassell is averaging 30.1 Draftkings points a game.
Earlier this month, in the San Antonio Spurs 127-113 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, San Antonio guard Devin Vassell certainly played at a high level. Let me be more specific. 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 Brooklyn Nets just mentioned, Devin Vassell tallied a whopping 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.
In my view, Devin Vassell’s affordable Draftkings price ($9,000) presents the best fantasy value relative to the other players on this one game DFS slate. With that said, I am backing San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NBA Showdown contest.
Flex Plays
Cade Cunningham, Point Guard, Detroit Pistons $12,600
Detroit point guard Cade Cunningham is an exceptional young talent that is quickly establishing himself as one of the best guards in the National Basketball Association. Let’s dive into Cunningham’s relevant player data from this season to better shed light on my previous statement.
In the 66 games that Cade Cunningham has played for the Detroit Pistons in the 2024 NBA regular season, Cunningham has averaged 25.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 9.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks a game.
It is noteworthy that the Detroit Pistons have listed point guard Cade Cunningham as questionable for this evening’s game. Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups.
Additional flex plays I like to play well in this NBA regular season game (Draftkings price noted): Jalen Duren, Center (Detroit Pistons) $9,200: Tobias Harris, Power Forward (Detroit Pistons) $8,000.
