There are only four games tonight, which is an extremely small slate for a Saturday. Still, we have options at all price ranges. This should be a fun set of games, even if it isn't like the usual Saturday slate.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 3/25/17. 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, vs MIN ($9,100)
Lillard has been playing a huge role in the Blazers offense, and he has been on fire recently. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 33.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.7 steals in 34.2 minutes per game. He has scored at least 44 fantasy points in each of his last five games, including three games with more than 50 fantasy points and a huge 62.75 fantasy points effort against the Heat. He gets a decent matchup against the Wolves tonight, and Lillard can safely be used in all leagues because of the small slate.
Patty Mills – PG, vs NY ($3,900)
Mills has been far from consistent, but these inconsistencies have kept his price tag down. He has scored at least 25 fantasy points in six of his last 10 games, including multiple games with 30 or more fantasy points. He has also scored 15 or less fantasy points in the other four games. He’s a player that tends to easily exceed value or not hit it. It’s frustrating for fantasy owners, but he’s the type of salary relief options that has the potential to win you tournaments.

LeBron James – SF, vs WAS ($10,400)
James was able to get back on track last night, as he nearly triple doubled against the Hornets. He continues to dominate on a nightly basis, and his price tag is surprisingly low tonight. He gets a great matchup against a fast paced Wizards team, and James is averaging 65.4 fantasy points per game against them this season. There are only four games on this slate, and James should be one of the first players inserted into your lineups tonight. He can be used in all leagues.
Noah Vonleh – PF/C, vs MIN ($4,100)
Vonleh isn’t the type of player that is going to blow you away with fantasy points, but he’s cheap and consistent. He’s averaging 9.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 1.0 assist per game over his last five games. He was also able to score at least 20 fantasy points in each of those games. He has been locked into big minutes recently, and that likely is not going to change tonight. Vonleh will get a decent matchup against the Wolves, and he’s a good salary relief option in all leagues tonight.
DraftKings DFS Centers
Kristaps Porzingis – PF/C, at SA ($7,100)
Porzingis has been underpriced for quite some time now, as he’s averaging 39.2 fantasy points per game over his last six games. He’s the focal point of the Knicks offense, but he can also contribute in each of the other four categories. Tonight, he gets a matchup against the Spurs, who he scored 38.3 fantasy points in 36.5 minutes earlier this season. Porzingis has multiple position eligibility, and he’ll make an elite option in all leagues tonight.
