As always, the NBA slate was split into two different slates on DraftKings. This article is focusing more on the larger, later slate, which gives us good options in multiple pricing ranges.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 3/12/17. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on DraftKings.

DraftKings DFS Guards
Damian Lillard – PG, at PHO ($9,000)
Lillard has been hot since the All Star break, and he’s averaging 26.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 7.4 assists per game over the last 10 days. He has displayed good consistency with elite upside recently, as well. He gets a great matchup against the Suns, who he’s averaging 45.3 fantasy points per game against this season, and Lillard has been playing well enough to be used in all leagues on the smaller slate tonight.
Jeremy Lin – PG, vs NY ($5,200)
Lin has struggled with injuries for the majority of the season, but he has looked good in the limited minutes he has played. Through his first 20 games, Lin is averaging 27.8 fantasy points in only 23.1 minutes per game. He has been playing bigger minutes recently, and he has scored at least 25 fantasy points in each of his last four games, including three games with at least 30 fantasy points. He has also been much better at home this season, and Lin is cheap enough to be used in all leagues.
DraftKings DFS Forwards
LeBron James – SF, at HOU ($11,300)
James has taken his game to the next level recently, as he has displayed the ability to triple double on any given night. He has scored at least 60 fantasy points in six of his last seven games, including each of his last five games. He still comes with a reasonable price tag, and he gets an elite matchup against the Rockets tonight. James will continue to play huge minutes, and he’s a great option in all leagues tonight.
C.J. Miles – SG/SF, vs MIA ($4,000)
Miles is coming off a bad game against the Bucks, but he was able to score at least 20 fantasy points in each of his four games before that. He has been playing solid minutes for the Pacers, and he’s a player that can score points in a hurry. He gets a tough matchup against the Heat tonight, but Miles is the type of player that can heat up against anyone, and he’s still extremely cheap. He’s a solid salary relief option in tournaments tonight.
DraftKings DFS Centers
Jusuf Nurkic – C, at PHO ($6,800)
Nurkic still comes with a surprisingly low price tag after dominating the Sixers for 81 fantasy points. He’s a versatile player, who can contribute in each of the five categories at an elite level. He gets a matchup against the Suns in what should be one of the fastest paced games of the night. Nurkic has been able to somewhat control his fouls recently, and he can be used in all leagues because of that.
