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 3/4/17. 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

Damian Lillard – PG, vs BKN ($9,600)

Lillard has been playing extremely well recently well recently, as he’s averaging 32.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 1.0 steal in 36.5 minutes per game. He is the focal point of the Blazers offense, and he has quiet triple double potential. He gets a great matchup against the Nets tonight, and Lillard has been playing well enough to be used in all leagues.

Ricky Rubio – PG, at SA ($6,100)

Rubio comes with a low price tag tonight because of his matchup against the Spurs, but they have struggled at times against the point guard this season. Rubio has been on fire recently, though, scoring at least 35 fantasy points in eight of his last 10 games, including five games with at least 40 fantasy points. Rubio is entirely too cheap tonight, and he can be used in all leagues.

Lou Williams – PG/SG, vs MEM ($$5,600)

Williams is coming off a terrible game for the Rockets, but he looked outstanding in each of his first three games with Houston. He still comes with a low price tag, and he gets a solid matchup against the Grizzlies tonight. Williams has dominated Memphis in two games this season, and he’s a player that can score fantasy points in a hurry. He does come with quite a bit of risk, but he’s a great tournament option tonight.

DraftKings DFS Forwards

Blake Griffin – PF, at CHI ($9,000)

Griffin has displayed elite upside recently, as he scored 69.5 fantasy points against the Hornets, but he followed that up with a terrible 28.5 fantasy point game against the Rockets. He gets a great matchup against the Bulls, who he dominated for 51.75 fantasy points earlier this season. Griffin comes with more than enough upside to cover his price tag, but he’s not nearly safe enough to be used in cash games. Griffin is a tournament only option.

Andrew Wiggins – SF, at SA ($7,000)

Wiggins has scored at least 20 points in 10 consecutive games, including nine games with 27 or more points. He also adds peripheral stats on a nightly basis, and he has been a fairly consistent option with great upside, as well. He gets a terrible matchup against the Spurs, who he has struggled against this season, though. Still, he comes with an extremely low price tag, and Wiggins has been hot enough to be used in all leagues tonight.

Bobby Portis – PF, vs LAC ($4,800)

It took a few games, but Portis is finally playing big minutes for the Bulls. He has played 31 and 28 minutes in his last two games, and he was able to score 37.25 and 27.5 fantasy points in those games. He’s a player that can score well, while adding peripheral stats, as well. He gets a decent matchup against the Clippers, and Portis still comes with a fairly low price tag. He is still cheap enough to be used in all leagues.

DraftKings DFS Centers

Nikola Jokic – C, vs CHA ($9,500)

Jokic struggled in his first few games with Mason Plumlee on the team, but he has triple doubled in each of his last two games. He is a big man that comes with elite versatility, but he has played a much smaller role in the offense recently. He gets a matchup against the Hornets, who are dealing with a few injuries to their frontcourt. Jokic does come with quite a bit of risk, but he’s still cheap enough to make an elite tournament option.

Jusuf Nurkic – C, vs BKN ($6,700)

Nurkic’s abilities have been on full display for the Blazers, as he has scored 55.5, 35.25, and 44.5 fantasy points in three of his last four games. He also scored only 17.5 fantasy points in the fourth game, which shows his risk. He’s a player that struggles with foul troubles, but he comes with more than enough upside to overlook that risk. He also gets a great matchup against the Nets, who have struggled against the center, and Nurkic can be used in all leagues.
