It is a huge 11-game slate tonight. That opens up quite a few options in both cash and tournament lineups. This should be a fun lineup construction process.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for Yahoo on 3/8/17. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on Yahoo.

Yahoo DFS Guards

Ricky Rubio - PG, vs LAC ($28)

Ricky Rubio is a huge part of the Minnesota Timberwolves' offensive game plan, which should make him a big part of fantasy owner's lineup construction tonight. He does get a tough matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers, one of the tougher teams in the league against opposing point guards, but he is so cheap over at Yahoo, that is does not matter. In his last game, he posted over 44 fantasy points in 43 minutes against the San Antonio Spurs. Roster him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments without hesitation tonight.

Cory Joseph - PG, at NOP ($14)

Cory Joseph is entirely too cheap right now on Yahoo. He is playing big minutes for the Toronto Raptors, and even with DeMar DeRozan running the show, Joseph is starting to step into his own. He posted over 30 fantasy points in his last game, in which he played 37 minutes, and it would not be surprising to see him post similar numbers tonight against the New Orleans Pelicans. Jrue Holiday is not great defensively, and Joseph will have to take advantage of matchups like these with Kyle Lowry out of the lineup, if he ever wants the Raptors to trust him.

Also Consider – Ish Smith - PG, at IND ($10)

 

Yahoo DFS Forwards

Paul Millsap - PF, vs BKN ($33)

Paul Millsap is not exactly cheap tonight, but he does get a fantastic matchup against the defenseless Brooklyn Nets. The Nets are horrible defensively, especially against opposing big men, and Millsap will make them pay for that weakness. In his last five games, he has over 35 fantasy points in all of them. He even posted over 40 fantasy points in 37 minutes against the Cleveland Cavaliers three games ago. Millsap is starting to heat up, and when he is hot, no one in the league can stop him. Expect him to continue to shoot early and often, while also picking up big rebounds and assists.

Khris Middleton - SF, vs NYK ($19)

Khris Middleton has not been all that consistent this season after returning from his injury, but it looks like he is really starting to feel good from the field. In his last four games, he has at least 30 fantasy points in three of them. Against the Los Angeles Clippers, a tough defense one might add, Middleton posted over 43 fantasy points in 33 minutes. He is going to continue to see around 30 minutes per game for the Milwaukee Bucks, and he is already a huge part of that offense. Roster him in all leagues for his low price tag tonight. His great matchup against the terrible New York Knicks is just icing on the cake.

Also Consider – Trevor Booker - PF, at ATL ($18) 

 

Yahoo DFS Centers

Cody Zeller - C, at MIA ($12)

Cody Zeller has been injured, so his price tag is down. In his last game, however, he played over 30 minutes and posted over 30 fantasy points. He is expected to continue to play around 30-35 minutes per game for the Charlotte Hornets now that he is healthy. The Miami Heat are not great defensively against opposing centers, even though Hassan Whiteside is dominant, as far as fantasy is concerned. Zeller is entirely too cheap, and he can be rostered in all leagues. He is almost definitely going to hit value, and his upside is around 40 fantasy points.

Also Consider – Nene - C, vs UTA ($10)
