I was at the Sixers game last night when Covington was stretchered off the court. It's never fun to see something like that happen, and it was truly a scary moment in the game. Thankfully, it looks like he's going to be okay, and he's only "questionable" for tonight.
Okay, back to business. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for DraftKings on 3/12/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays on DraftKings.
Without wasting anymore time, here are the picks!

DraftKings DFS Guards
Stephen Curry (vs PHO, $10,300)
The upside that Stephen Curry possesses is out of this world, but he’ll also be somewhat risky in this matchup. The Suns are a bad team, and Curry could be benched mid-way through the third quarter. If this game stays even relatively close, Curry could explode for 70+ fantasy points, though. The Suns have been the worst team in the NBA against point guards, and Curry has been the best PG in the league this season. He’s best suited for GPPs, though.
Kemba Walker (vs HOU, $8,600)
Walker has been playing exceptionally well recently, as he’s averaging 31.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 6.8 assists, and 1.0 steal per game over the last 10 days. He gets a great matchup against the Rockets, who have struggled against the point guard this season. Walker has also been a significantly better player at home this season. He has scored 45+ fantasy points in six of his last seven games, and he can be used in all leagues.
Tyler Ennis (vs NO, $3,000)
The injury to Michael Carter-Williams has opened up minutes for Tyler Ennis, as he recently played 26 minutes against the Heat. He hasn’t really had an opportunity to play too many minutes this season, but he has the ability to score fantasy points, which is all you need for a minimum priced player. He likely won’t dominate for a 50+ fantasy point night, but he could score 20+ fantasy points in a great matchup, which would be well worth his price tag.
DraftKings DFS Forwards
Giannis Antetokounmpo (vs NO, $8,700)
There isn’t any reason to avoid Alphabet at this point. He has around a 40 fantasy point floor and an 80 fantasy point ceiling. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 21.5 points, 9.2 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 1.7 blocks, and 2.7 steals per game. He’s also a significantly better player at home, and he gets a great matchup against the Pelicans, who love to push the pace of games. He will have plenty of chances to fill the box score, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.
Tobias Harris (at PHI, $6,200)
Harris is playing huge minutes for the Pistons, and he has scored 30+ fantasy points in three consecutive games. He gets a great matchup against the Sixers, who he is averaging 15.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game against this season. Philadelphia is dealing with a few injuries, and they don’t have anyone that is going to be able to guard Harris tonight. He should continue his recent hot streak, and he can be used in all leagues.
Lance Stephenson (at ATL, $4,800)
The Grizzlies are dealing with a plethora of injuries, which has led to the emergence of Lance Stephenson. He has been playing extremely well recently, and he’s coming off a huge 53.75 fantasy point performance against the Pelicans last night. The Grizzlies are supposed to have a few players come back tonight, but Stephenson will likely keep a big role with Mario Chalmers out for the season. His price is only going to continue to rise, and he can be used in all leagues again tonight.
DraftKings DFS Centers
Nikola Jokic (vs WAS, $6,400)
It’s tough to avoid Andre Drummond against the Sixers, but Jokic has been playing too well to pass up. His price is extremely low for his recent production, as he is averaging 15.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.5 blocks, and 1.2 steals in only 27.1 minutes per game over the last 10 days. He gets a good matchup against the Wizards tonight, and Jokic can be used in all leagues, as it looks like the Nuggets are finally set on giving him big minutes.
