With a limited three-game NBA DFS slate on Saturday, March 28, 2026, fantasy basketball expert Bryan Armetta highlights two value plays to consider for your DraftKings lineups. The article focuses on Royce O'Neale of the Phoenix Suns and Olivier-Maxence Prosper of the Memphis Grizzlies as potential bargain options to pair with high-priced stars.

Why it matters

Finding quality value plays is crucial for building winning DFS lineups, especially on smaller slates with fewer game options. O'Neale and Prosper offer appealing price tags and recent production that could allow fantasy managers to roster top-tier players while still filling out a competitive lineup.

The details

Royce O'Neale ($4,800) of the Phoenix Suns is coming off a strong 17-point, 5-rebound, 3-assist performance in his return from injury. With Dillon Brooks still sidelined, O'Neale should continue to see increased usage and opportunity, especially against a Utah Jazz team that ranks last in the NBA in points allowed and three-pointers made per game. Olivier-Maxence Prosper ($4,700) of the Memphis Grizzlies has been a revelation since the trade deadline, averaging 13.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.2 steals over his last 15 games. With Memphis' frontcourt banged up, Prosper could exploit a vulnerable Chicago Bulls defense that gives up the second-most fantasy points to opposing centers.

  • O'Neale returned from injury on Tuesday, March 25, 2026.
  • Prosper's strong production has come since February 1, 2026.

What they’re saying

“It was yet another quality outing for the veteran, a key piece for an injury-depleted Suns squad.”

— Bryan Armetta, Fantasy Basketball Expert

“The Marquette alum produced 31 points and seven rebounds (48.8 FPTS) last night vs. Houston. Against a much worse Bulls defense, who knows what kind of numbers he can put up.”

— Bryan Armetta, Fantasy Basketball Expert

The takeaway

With limited options on a three-game NBA DFS slate, finding value plays like Royce O'Neale and Olivier-Maxence Prosper could be the key to building a winning lineup. Both players have seen increased roles and production of late, making them appealing bargain options to pair with high-priced stars.
