DraftKings loves breaking up the slate on Sunday's, which is strange because they could do a much larger "All Day" slate. Regardless, this article will focus more on the larger later slate.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 3/19/17. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on DraftKings.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @BalesSJustin.
DraftKings DFS Guards
Ricky Rubio – PG, at NO ($7,500)
Rubio has been one of the best point guards in the NBA since the All Star break, and he’s averaging 19.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 10.8 assists, and 1.5 steals per game over the last 10 days. He has been a fairly consistent option for his current price tag, but he also comes with more than enough upside to exceed value. He gets a matchup against a fast paced Pelicans team tonight, and Rubio can safely be used in all leagues on the smaller slate tonight.
Shabazz Muhammad – SG/SF, at NO ($4,000)
Muhammad has seen his minutes increase since the injury to Nemanja Bjelica. He has played 28 and 31 minutes in his last two games, and he was able to score 18.75 and 28.25 fantasy points in those games. He’s a player that is extremely dependent on scoring, but easy shots aren’t hard to come by when Ricky Rubio is on the court with you. Muhammad should see plenty of chances to score tonight against a fast paced Pelicans team, and Muhammad can be used in all leagues.
Also Consider – Damian Lillard – PG, at MIA ($8,700)
DraftKings DFS Forwards
LeBron James – SF, at LAL ($11,400)
James was given a night’s rest last night, which means he’s likely going to be back in the starting lineup tonight. He has been on fire recently, averaging 26.4 points, 10.8 rebounds, 9.2 assists, and 1.0 steal per game over the last 10 days. He gets an elite matchup against a fast paced Lakers team, who do not have anyone that is going to be able to guard James. He dominated them in their only matchup this season, and James is a great option in all leagues tonight.
Thaddeus Young – PF, at TOR ($4,600)
Young has really struggled this season, but he comes with a low price tag and he’s locked into big minutes right now. He has played 37, 37, and 38 minutes in his last three games, although he is only averaging 17.1 fantasy points per game over that span. He gets a decent matchup against the Raptors tonight, and Young is expected to play big minutes once again tonight. He isn’t safe enough for cash games, but he’s a solid salary relief option in tournaments.
Also Consider – Larry Nance Jr. – SF/PF, vs CLE ($4,000)
DraftKings DFS Centers
Kosta Koufos – C, at SA ($3,800)
Koufos is a bit risky because the Kings have been resting players each night, but they tend to announce them after lock. Still, Koufos is averaging 10.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.0 assist per game over the last 10 days, and he has scored at least 20 fantasy points in each of his last six games. He gets a decent matchup against the Spurs tonight, and Koufos is entirely too cheap for his recent production. He can be used in all leagues, but only if he is announced in the starting lineup before tip off.
Also Consider – Ivica Zubac – C, vs CLE ($5,600)
