We have a smaller five game slate tonight, but there are still plenty of options. The Pelicans/Blazers game will be played at an extremely fast pace, and that is an interesting game to stack.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for Yahoo on 3/14/17. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on Yahoo.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @thedominatordfs.
Yahoo DFS Guards
Damian Lillard – PG, at NO ($44)
Lillard has been one of the best point guards in the NBA since the All Star break. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 28.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game. He has scored at least 40 fantasy points in eight of his last nine games, including a huge 60.2 fantasy point performance against the Pistons. He gets a great matchup against a fast paced Pelicans team tonight, and Lillard has been playing well enough to be used in all leagues tonight.
Jeremy Lin – PG, vs OKC ($15)
Lin continues to come with a low price tag on a nightly basis. He is averaging 13.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and 1.1 steals in only 23.2 minutes per game on the season. He has seen his minutes increase recently, and he’s averaging 28.3 fantasy points per game over his last five contests. Lin has an elite usage rating when he’s on the court, and he gets a good matchup against the Thunder, who have had an average defense this season. Lin is cheap enough to be used in all leagues.
Also Consider – Allen Crabbe – SG, at NO ($10)
Yahoo DFS Forwards
LeBron James – SF, vs DET ($56)
James has been on an elite streak recently, averaging 30.2 points, 12.4 rebounds, 8.4 assists, and 1.0 steal per game over the last 10 days. He’s a player with elite triple double potential, and he has been scoring nearly 60 fantasy points on a nightly basis recently. He also recently scored 60.6 fantasy points against the Pistons, who he will be playing against tonight, as well. James isn’t going to come cheap, but he has been playing more than well enough to be used in all leagues.
Tobias Harris – PF, at CLE ($19)
Harris is currently questionable to play tonight, but he’s expected to suit up. He has been heating up recently, as he’s averaging 19.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.0 block per game. He recently entered the starting lineup for the Pistons, and that has only helped his upside. He scored 32.8 fantasy points in his last game against the Cavs, and he’s cheap enough to safely be used in all leagues on the smaller slate tonight.
Also Consider – Dario Saric – PF, at GS ($32)
Yahoo DFS Centers
Jusuf Nurkic – C, at NO ($25)
There aren’t a ton of option this slate, which is why it’s so surprising that Nurkic is still this cheap. Nurkic has been on a tear for the Blazers recently, as he’s averaging 16.5 points, 10.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2.8 blocks, and 1.2 steals per game over the last 10 days. He has struggled with fouls a bit recently, as he has at least five fouls in each of his last four games, but he has still been playing big minutes. He gets a great matchup against a fast paced Pelicans team, and Nurkic can be used in all leagues for his current price tag.
Also Consider – Guillermo Hernangomez – C, vs IND ($17)
