Eight games make up Friday night's slate of NBA action. A veteran, and a former NBA champion joins this list after recently joining another list alongside greats like Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant, and Michael Jordan.
In this article, I will be providing you with daily NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 3/10/17. The picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays.
And now for the good stuff.
FanDuel DFS Guards
Yogi Ferrell - PG, vs BK ($5,200)
Any time a point guard is facing the Brooklyn Nets, take notice. The Nets have not had a formidable defensive guard all season, and allow an insane 52.8 fantasy points per game to point guards, the highest total in the league. They also surrender 24.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 9.2 assists, and 2.5 steals per game to the one spot. Enter Yogi Ferrell. Ferrell is not at the top of the heap by any means, but is a strong play at his price Friday night. He has scored in double-digits in three of his last four games, is capable of flirting with double-digit assists, and does not need to put the ball in the hoop to post valuable fantasy points at his price.
Bradley Beal - SG, at SAC ($7,600)
Since the departure of DeMarcus Cousins, the Sacramento Kings have been in complete disarray. They have dropped six straight games and are hanging their heads low after blowing a 28-point lead against the San Antonio Spurs in their last contest. The Kings have also allowed the most fantasy points to the shooting guard position, averaging 45.0 per game for FanDuel. Beal has been on a consistent scoring outburst, posting 20-plus points in eight straight games, including performances of 32 and 40 points over that span. The last time these two teams met, Beal dropped 31 points.
Also Consider: Isaiah Thomas - PG, at DEN ($9,200)

Khris Middleton - SF, vs IND ($6,800)
Khris Middleton is getting healthier and healthier; excellent news for a Milwaukee Bucks team only a half game behind the Chicago Bulls for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. With the recent injury to Jabari Parker, Middleton has stepped up in his absence, and continues to contribute in multiple areas. A consistent double-digit scorer, Middleton has also been effective on the boards and is also a sneaky threat from behind the arc. Middleton heads into a matchup against an Indiana Pacers squad that surrenders 10.4 three pointers made per contest, five most in the league.
Dirk Nowitzki - PF, vs BK ($6,200)
Dirk Nowitzki entered his last contest against the Los Angeles Lakers 20 points shy of 30,000 for his career. He dropped 25 and became only the sixth player in NBA history to reach that milestone. Look for the veteran to build off of his record-breaking showing as the Dallas Mavericks host the defensive-incompetent Brooklyn Nets. Dirk is a solid complement to stack alongside Ferrell, especially against a Nets team that allows 114.3 points per game; the most in the league. He's affordable and has a relatively high ceiling.
Also Consider: Otto Porter - SF, at SAC ($5,900)
FanDuel DFS Centers
Karl-Anthony Towns - C, vs GS ($10,600)
In order for the Minnesota Timberwolves to keep pace with the defending Western Conference champions, Karl-Anthony Towns needs to continue his dominance. Towns has posted a double-double in seven straight showings, performances where he grabbed 14 or more rebounds in each. Towns has gone on a couple different runs like this throughout the season, his last coming earlier in January where he posted a double-double in 10 straight games. Look for the big man to continue his success in a game that the Timberwolves will likely be playing from behind in.
Also Consider: Nerlens Noel - C, vs BK ($6,200)
