There is a five game slate Saturday with only four games on the main slate. Out of the four, two teams are pushing for a playoff spot and need to be targeted. Both the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers are going to want to secure wins, meaning the starters should be looked at first for any easy matchups. Harrison Barnes is always a steady play, while Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum against the Timberwolves is just as promising. Make to check for player updates throughout the day to make sure your lineup is still good to go.

In this article, I will be providing you with daily NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 3/25/17. The picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays.

If you have any other questions, feel free to hit me up on Twitter, @HalfCourtJester. Let's get rolling.

FanDuel DFS Guards

Yogi Ferrell - PG, vs TOR ($3,900)

This is almost too easy. His price is very cheap, and the only thing that kept the Mavericks out of the game last time was the horrid shooting from the backcourt. Well, it wasn't just Yogi Ferrell that shot poorly, the entire team did. This is their shot at redemption and the Mavericks cannot afford to lose many games here on out. With Ferrell and Barea at the reigns, both will be frequent sources of production. Ferrell contributes across the board, and his ability to score gives him maximum upside every night. Even with J.J. Barea, Ferrell should be played.

Seth Curry - SG, vs TOR ($5,200) 

Similar to Yogi Ferrell, Seth Curry had a poor game last outing against the Raptors. That should not be the case this go around and Curry will be in for another night where he takes a majority of the shots. The Mavericks struggled to get to the paint last game, and they will have to rely on the outside scoring. Curry is a strong option against Toronto, as long as the entire team doesn't go cold like last time.

Also Consider: Bradley Beal - SG, vs BOS ($7,700)

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Otto Porter - SF, at CLE ($6,100) 

Last game against the Cavaliers, Otto Porter played 45 minutes, scored 25 points, and managed to grab a few rebounds. Assuming he takes a similar role, you will want to play him. If he repeats this performance, he will exceed his projection. He is going to have an upside in rebounds due to his length, and production should come easily. In his two games, he has been able to secure at least ten points, five rebounds, and an assist. That is really not all that fantastic, but that is a decent floor when the options are limited.

Gorgui Dieng - PF, at POR ($5,400)

Gorgui Dieng is going to be the lead rebounder for the Timberwolves, especially coming off a back-to-back loss to the Lakers. Dieng played 39 minutes and should look to rebound against the weaker Portland frontcourt. He always manages to get rebounds every game, but whether his mid-range game is hitting is inconsistent. He nearly had a double-double last game against the Trail Blazer, and now that Plumlee is in Denver, Dieng may have an easier time getting open. Al-Farouq Aminu will likely guard Karl-Anthony Towns, giving Dieng upside.

Also Consider: Dirk Nowitzki - PF, vs TOR ($6,000)

FanDuel DFS Centers

Jusuf Nurkic - C, vs MIN ($7,400)

The Portland frontcourt struggles on the defensive end, but Jusuf Nurkic has had no problem producing on offense. He is going for his fourth straight double-double, while his ability to find open teammates increases his value. Nurkic is fairly cheap for what his production will be. He has the size advantage to hurt the Timberwolves in the low-post and get more than enough rebounds. With only a few options, he has one of the highest upsides.

Also Consider: Pau Gasol - C, vs NYK ($4,900)
