We have a sizable slate tonight after only three games last night. That means we'll have plenty of great options ranging in prices. It's a night that you are going to have to decide if you want to use a team filled with mid-priced options or if you want to run a stars and scrubs type of lineup.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 3/3/17. 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

Russell Westbrook – PG, at PHO ($13,100)

Westbrook has been one of the best players in the NBA this season, as he’s averaging a triple double. He has been on fire recently, as well, as he’s posting 70 or more fantasy points on nearly a nightly basis. He gets an elite matchup against the Suns tonight, and he’s averaging 38.5 points, 12.0 rebounds, 16.0 assists, and 2.0 steals per game against them in two matchups this season. He’s locked into big minutes, and Westbrook can safely be used in all leagues.

Seth Curry – SG, vs MEM ($6,000)

Curry has been outstanding for the Mavs since the All Star break. Since then, he’s averaging 23.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.5 steals in 36.1 minutes per game. He’s playing huge minutes for Dallas on a nightly basis, and that will continue tonight with the injury to Wesley Matthews. He gets a tough matchup against the Grizzlies, but Curry is too cheap on this slate, and he can safely be used in all leagues.

Tyler Johnson – PG, at ORL ($5,200)

Johnson is a fairly consistent player who also comes with great upside. He has been playing big minutes for Miami, and he also comes with a low price tag. He’s averaging 15.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.5 steals in only 27.2 minutes per game since the All Star break. He gets a great matchup against the Magic, who he’s averaging 35.5 fantasy points per game against this season, and Johnson is cheap enough to be used in all leagues tonight.

DraftKings DFS Forwards

Anthony Davis – PF/C, vs SA ($9,400)

This price tag is still a joke for Davis, who has been playing at an elite level since the All Star break. He’s averaging 56.1 fantasy points per game over his last four games, and he has looked great with DeMarcus Cousins in the line. He gets a terrible matchup against the Spurs tonight, but he’s entirely too cheap for his consistency and upside. Davis can be used in all leagues tonight.

Dario Saric – PF/C, vs NY ($7,400)

Saric is coming off a tough game against the Heat, but that game was a quick blowout, and he only played 28 minutes. Before that game, he had scored at least 38 fantasy points in seven consecutive games. He’s a huge part of the Sixers offense, and he has flashed the ability to contribute in multiple categories. He still comes with a reasonable price tag, and he gets a great matchup against the Knicks tonight. Saric does come with a bit of risk, but he has been playing well enough to be considered in all leagues on this slate.

Dirk Nowitzki – PF/C, vs MEM ($5,300)

Nowitzki continues to be underpriced, as he’s averaging 33.4 fantasy points per game over his last nine games. He has been contributing in multiple categories, and he has a fairly large role in the Mavs offense. He gets a tough matchup against the Grizzlies, but Nowitzki has been playing more than well enough to be used in all leagues tonight.

DraftKings DFS Centers

DeAndre Jordan – C, at MIL ($7,000)

Jordan has been a better player with Chris Paul in the lineup throughout his career, and that has been no different this season. He’s coming off a down game against the Rockets, but he recently scored 55.25 fantasy points against the Hornets. He gets a great matchup against the Bucks tonight, and Jordan is too cheap for his upside. He comes with a bit too much risk, but he makes a great tournament option on the slate tonight.

Alan Williams – C, vs OKC ($4,400)

Williams could quickly become one of the best fantasy options at center for the remainder of the season. The Suns were recently speaking very high of him, and it could be only a matter of time before he is starting and playing big minutes for the Suns for the rest of the season. He has been an elite fantasy option on a per minute basis, as he recently scored 48.75 fantasy points in 34 minutes against the Bucks. He gets a good matchup against the Thunder, and he has been playing well enough to be used in all leagues tonight.
