After a small slate last night, we're back to a huge slate tonight. We have players ranging in prices and production. There are going to be multiple ways to construct lineups tonight, which will depend on how many players you like from each price range.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 3/10/17. 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
Kemba Walker – PG, vs ORL ($8,100)
Walker has been on a hot streak recently, as he’s averaging 29.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.2 steals per game over the last 10 days. He has scored at least 40 fantasy points in each of his last six games, as well. He’s a safe option, who also comes with tremendous upside for his price tag. He gets a tough matchup against the Magic, who he has struggled against this season, but Walker can still be used in all leagues tonight.
Ricky Rubio – PG, vs GS ($6,900)
Rubio is another point guard that has caught fire in the All Star break, and he’s averaging 11.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 10.3 assists, and 2.3 steals per game over the last 10 days. He is an extremely consistent player with elite upside, and he’s entirely too cheap tonight. He gets a tough matchup against the Warriors, but they will be looking to push the pace tonight, and Rubio has been playing well enough to be used in all leagues.
Jeremy Lin – PG, at DAL ($5,000)
Lin is an extremely interesting option for the Nets. He’s averaging 13.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.1 steals in only 22.6 minutes per game on the season. He is averaging 29.5 fantasy points in 23.7 minutes per game over the last 10 days, and he’s expected to play around 25 minutes tonight. He’s a player that can score fantasy points in a hurry, and he’s en elite option for his low price tag tonight, even though he gets a tough matchup against the Mavs.
DraftKings DFS Forwards
Paul Millsap – PF/C, vs TOR ($7,400)
Millsap is averaging 21.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game over the last 10 days. He has displayed great upside recently, but he has also been a consistent option. He has scored at least 37 fantasy points in each of his last six games, including five games with 40 or more fantasy points. He’s still relatively cheap, and he gets a solid matchup against the Raptors tonight. Millsap can be used in all leagues tonight.
Dirk Nowitzki – PF/C, vs BKN ($6,100)
Nowitzki has been a boom or bust fantasy option for the majority of this season. His minutes have been inconsistent for the most part, as he has played 24 and 30 minutes in his last two games. He dominated in each of those games, though, scoring 44.25 and 40.25 fantasy points, respectively. He gets an elite matchup against a weak Nets team tonight, and Nowitzki is a player that has more than enough upside to be used in GPPs on this slate.
Nemanja Bjelica – PF, vs GS ($3,800)
Bjelica isn’t the safest option on the board, as he only scored 9.75 fantasy points in his last game. He was able to play 19 minutes in that game, though, which is very encouraging. Before that game, he scored 22.25, 42.25, and 34,5 fantasy points in his previous three games. He gets a matchup against a fast paced Warriors team, and Bjelica is still extremely cheap. He isn’t more than a salary relief option in tournaments tonight, though.
DraftKings DFS Centers
Cody Zeller – C, vs ORL ($5,200)
Zeller has been locked into big minutes since the injury to Frank Kaminsky, as he has played 42 and 34 minutes in his last two games. He only scored 20.75 fantasy points in his last game, but he was able to score 35.25 fantasy points in the game before that. He’s a big man that can contribute in multiple categories, and he gets a great matchup against the Magic tonight. Zeller is a bit too risky for cash games, but he’s a great tournament option.
Joffrey Lauvergne – PF/C, vs HOU ($3,000)
Lauvergne finally played for the Bulls in their last game, and he scored 23.5 fantasy points in 29 minutes of action. He may not play that many minutes tonight, but he’s projected to see more than 20 minutes, which is enough time for him to hit value. He gets a great matchup against the Rockets, who have struggled against big men this season, and Lauvergne is still extremely cheap. He comes with terrible risk, but he’s an elite salary relief option in tournaments tonight.
