After a mid-sized Thursday slate, we're locked into a large Friday slate. There are plenty of options as the season progresses and teams start tanking more and more. It's an easy way to find value, which allows us to use the elite players, as well.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 3/23/18. These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options, to lower-priced players and value picks on DraftKings.
Feel free to give me a shout on Twitter @BalesSJustin and say hello. Good luck!

DraftKings DFS Guards
Damian Lillard - PG, vs BOS ($8,800)
Lillard is coming off a pair of bad games, but he is still averaging 24.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 7.0 assists per game over the last 10 days. Excluding his last two contests, Lillard has scored 40+ fantasy points in seven of his last eight games, including four games with 50+ fantasy points. Lillard performed well in his only matchup against the Boston Celtics this season, and he makes a great option tonight.
Nick Young - SG, vs ATL ($4,600)
The Warriors are dealing with a plethora of injuries to their main players, which has forced Young into big minutes recently. Over his last four games, he is averaging 23.6 fantasy points in 37.3 minutes per game. He is taking shots in the teens, and he has been fairly consistent for his low price tag. He also gets a great matchup against the Atlanta Hawks, who rank 24th in the NBA against shooting guards. Young can be used as a salary relief option in all leagues.
Other DraftKings Guards to Consider: Donovan Mitchell, C.J. McCollum, Quinn Cook, Ricky Rubio, Russell Westbrook
DraftKings DFS Forwards
Taurean Prince - SG/SF, at GS ($7,000)
Price has been playing at an elite level recently, as he is averaging 24.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.0 block in 36.5 minutes per game over the last 10 days. He has also scored 53.5, 46.5, 46, and 60.5 fantasy points in four of his last five games. He gets a good matchup against the Golden State Warriors, who love pushing the pace and are dealing with multiple injuries. Prince is no longer a cheap option, but he can be considered in all leagues.
Joe Ingles - SG/SF, at SA ($6,000)
Ingles continues to be underpriced. He has scored 30+ fantasy points in each of his last eight games, while flashing 50 fantasy point upside. He is also averaging 16.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and 1.0 steal in 32.0 minutes per game over the last 10 days. Ingles is an option that tends to go overlooked, but he is extremely safe and also comes with tremendous upside. He can be considered in all leagues.
Other DraftKings DFS Forwards to Consider: Paul George, Bobby Portis, LaMarcus Aldridge, Mike Muscala, Markieff Morris
DraftKings DFS Centers
Rudy Gobert - C, at SA ($7,800)
Gobert is a safe option with tremendous upside. He has scored 39+ fantasy points in nine of his last 10 games, and he is averaging 44 fantasy points per game over the last 10 days. Gobert gets a tough matchup against the San Antonio Spurs, but they are no longer an untouchable defense at this point. Still, Gobert saw his price tag drop a bit because of the matchup, and now is the time to take advantage of that.
Other DraftKings DFS Centers to Consider: Karl-Anthony Towns, Kyle O'Quinn, Bam Adebayo
