The association features a big slate with some tough matchups to help you kick off your weekend. In an effort of not boring everyone, I will be omitting the obvious choices like Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, etc.

Below you will find our daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 3/2/18. These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options, to lower-priced players and value picks on FanDuel. You can also read more DFS lineup picks for DraftKings and other sports too.

Give me a shot on Twitter @Den_Clausen and let me know how I did. Good luck!

FanDuel DFS Guards

Devin Booker - SG, vs. OKC ($8,800)

After dealing with a hip injury, Booker really took advantage of the time that was afforded to him from the All-Star break. He is averaging 31.8 points on 41 percent shooting from the field over the past five games and will be going up against a Thunder team that is sorely missing Andre Roberson, leaving Booker with a nice oppurimity to do some damage on the fantasy end.

Dennis Smith Jr. - PG, @ CHI ($6,200)

Smith is one of those players who looks great one game, and looks like a scrub the next. However, chances are pretty good that he will have a solid performance against a Bulls team that is also looking to take their season into the toilet. Still holding onto Rookie of the Year aspirations, Smith will keep playing at full speed for the rest of the season.

Other FanDuel DFS Guards to Consider: Emmanuel Mudiay, Trey Burke, Andrew Harrison (questionable-wrist), Kris Dunn, Zach LaVine, Lou Williams

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Denzel Valentine - SF, vs. DAL ($4,800)

With the Bulls unofficially tanking, Valentine stepped into a bigger role after the All-Star break. Though he has remained relatively steady with his scoring numbers, he has been seeing plenty of minutes as well as being more active on the glass, pulling down 13 rebounds against the Nets a few games ago. He has big upside considering his price, and will give you some breathing room if you are looking to get Russell Westbrook or Steph Curry into your lineup. If you wanna’ roll with both him and David Nwaba for a stack, go for it.

Other FanDuel DFS Forwards to Consider: Michael Beasley, Tobias Harris, JaMychal Green, Dwight Powell, Frank Kaminsky, Stanley Johnson, Gorgui Dieng, Lauri Markkanen, Bobby Portis

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

Andre Drummond - C, @ ORL ($10,500)

While Blake Griffin is still quasi-struggling, Drummond is still pulling down rebounds at a monster rate. He will have a favorable matchup against a Orlando team that has struggled defending opposing big men, giving up 34.8 fantasy points per game, which is fifth-worst in the league. He’s basically a guaranteed double-double threat, and won’t cost you as much as the other high-priced guys.

Other FanDuel DFS Centers to Consider: Steven Adams, DeAndre Jordan, Enes Kanter, Rudy Gobert
