This is a weird slate on DraftKings, as they have an eight game NBA slate, but chose to avoid the later games tonight. That is the slate I attacked in this article, which leaves out two games.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 3/24/17. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on DraftKings.

DraftKings DFS Guards

John Wall – PG, vs BKN ($9,600)

Wall continues to play well for the Wizards, as he’s averaging 20.7 points, 2.0 rebounds, 10.3 assists, and 2.2 steals per game over the last 10 days. He has been playing well for much longer than that, though, and he gets an elite matchup against the Nets tonight. Wall is averaging 52.8 fantasy points per game against the Nets this season, and he will be playing in Washington, where he has been a significantly better fantasy option this season. He can be used in all leagues tonight.

Jimmy Butler – SG/SF, vs PHI ($9,200)

Butler has seen his usage rating increase with Dwyane Wade out, and Butler is averaging 52.1 fantasy points per game over his last four games. He has displayed elite versatility, as he is the focal point of the Bulls offense, but also comes with triple double potential. Tonight, he gets a great matchup against the Sixers, who he has dominated in two matchups this season. Butler is another player who has played better at home this season, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.

Thabo Sefolosha – SG/SF, at MIL ($4,600)

The Hawks are dealing with a few injuries right now, which had led to Sefolosha playing 31 and 28 minutes in his last two games. He looked good in those minutes, scoring 24.5 and 30.5 fantasy points in those two games. He gets a great matchup against the Bucks, who he is averaging 25.8 fantasy points per game against this season. He’s still a cheap option, who has guard and forward eligibility, and Sefolosha can be used in all leagues on this slate.

 

DraftKings DFS Forwards

LeBron James – SF, at CHA ($10,500)

James is coming off a tough game against the Nuggets, but he has been playing extremely well recently, including four triple doubles over his last 10 games. He gets a great matchup against the Hornets, who have struggled against the small forward this season. James is averaging 60.3 fantasy points per game against Charlotte in three matchups this season, and he’s cheap enough to be used in all leagues on this slate. 

Marquese Chriss – PF/C, at BOS ($5,900)

Chriss has been playing bigger minutes recently, and he has looked outstanding in that time. He has scored at least 30 fantasy points in four of his last five games, and Chriss has displayed great versatility recently. He gets a good matchup against the Celtics tonight, and Chriss played well against them in limited minutes this season. He is still cheap enough to be used in all leagues tonight.

Mirza Teletovic – PF, vs ATL ($3,200)

Teletovic isn’t the type of player that will blow you away with his stats, but he’s extremely cheap and he has been a fairly consistent option recently. He’s averaging 17.2 fantasy points in 20.4 minutes per game over his last five games. He’s a player that can score fantasy points in a hurry, and he gets a solid matchup against the Hawks tonight. Teletovic is a great salary relief option, who will allow you to use the higher priced players tonight.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

Nikola Vucevic – C, vs DET ($7,800)

There’s no real reason to avoid Vucevic tonight. He’s averaging 18.2 points, 11.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 block, and 1.6 steals per game over the last 10 days. He has also scored at least 40 fantasy points in eight of his last 10 games, including 49 or more fantasy points in each of his last three games. He gets a tough matchup against the Pistons tonight, but Vucevic has been matchup proof recently, and he’s an elite option in all leagues.

Al Horford – C, vs PHO ($6,600)

Horford has really been heating up recently, and he has displayed surprising triple double potential. He’s averaging 18.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 1.8 blocks per game over the last 10 days. He has scored at least 39 fantasy points in each of his last five games, including a huge 52 fantasy points performance against the Sixers. Horford is averaging more than five more fantasy points per game at home this season, and he gets a matchup against a fast paced Suns team tonight. Horford makes a great option in all leagues for his price tag.
