The games start at 7:30 PM EST tonight. That gives fantasy owners an extra 30 minutes to construct lineups. There are only five games scheduled for tonight's main slate, but that leaves plenty of value and upside. This article will help to pick out that value and upside. Here we go.
In this article, I will be providing you with daily NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 3/23/17. The picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays.
Let's get to it, shall we?
FanDuel DFS Guards
Tyler Ulis - PG, at BKN ($6,800)
Tyler Ulis makes for a great option in both 50/50 contests and tournaments. Over on DraftKings, his price tag is starting to get a little bit too high, but on FanDuel, he is underpriced. The Brooklyn Nets are horrible defensively, as Spencer Dinwiddie will likely play 30 minutes tonight, and Ulis should be able to take advantage of that. In his last game, he struggled, posting under 20 fantasy points in 43 minutes. In the game prior, he posted over 40 fantasy points in 43 minutes. His court time is great for his upside. He has over 34 fantasy points in three of his last four games, so he is also decently consistent. Roster him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.
Spencer Dinwiddie - PG, vs PHX ($4,600)
Spencer Dinwiddie has been playing 30 minutes per game over his last three games for the Brooklyn Nets. He scored 15.6, 31.9, and 28.6 fantasy points in those three games. He is contributing with points, rebounds, and assists. In his last two games, he has 10 rebounds, 11 assists, and 28 points, which is great for his price tag. The Phoenix Suns are dealing with a few injuries at both the point guard and shooting guard positions, but despite that, will still push the pace of this game. Dinwiddie should have little trouble hitting value in what should be the highest scoring affair of the night.
Also Consider: Josh Richardson - SG, vs TOR ($4,600)
FanDuel DFS Forwards
TJ Warren - SF, at BKN ($6,600)
TJ Warren gets a great matchup tonight against the Brooklyn Nets, in what should be a very high-scoring affair. Warren posted over 30 fantasy points in three of his last four games, over 35 fantasy points in two of his last four games, and over 40 fantasy points once in his last four games. His price tag has barely moved. He has great upside, and he is playing huge minutes for the Phoenix Suns. Warren contributes in all stat categories, while also shooting the ball at least 10 times per game. A double-double is possible with points and rebounds, and his ability to steal the ball adds upside to his fantasy production.
Dirk Nowitzki - PF, vs LAC ($6,000)
Dirk Nowitzki will be involved in one of the lower scoring contests tonight, but that does not mean he is not a solid fantasy option in tournaments. He has over 25 fantasy points in five of his last six games, and over 30 fantasy points in three of those games. He has come close to reaching 40 fantasy points in a couple of his last 10 games, and Blake Griffin does not always play tight defense. He is generally more focused on outscoring his opponent. Nowitzki's minutes have been up and down, but that is normal for a player of his age. He has not played over 30 minutes in three consecutive games, so the Dallas Mavericks should have no qualms keeping him in the game longer than usual, as long as it stays close.
Also Consider: PJ Tucker - SF, at MIA ($3,800)
FanDuel DFS Centers
Brook Lopez - C, vs PHX ($7,200)
Brook Lopez is the best fantasy option on the board tonight. He needs to be rostered in both 50/50 contests and tournaments at the center position on FanDuel. His price tag is just a little bit too low right now, as he is consistently posting around 35 fantasy points per game. He has the ability to post closer to 50 fantasy points tonight against the uptempo Phoenix Suns. Alan Williams is terrible defensively, and he is also questionable to play tonight. If he sits out, Alex Len is only worse defensively. Lopez should have no issues scoring from range. He is shooting the ball closer to 20-25 times per game, so he is obviously the leader of the Nets' offensive attack. Vegas has this game set at 224 total points, so attack as much as possible from a fantasy perspective.
Also Consider: Jonas Valanciunas - C, at MIA ($5,300)
