FanDuel has a very strange slate tonight. The main slate starts at 3:30 PM EST, but it does not include the 8:00 PM EST games, making it a short, five-game slate. There is very little reason for this, other than FanDuel messed up. Oh, well. Let's get on with it.
In this article, I will be providing you with daily NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 3/26/17. 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, @thedominatordfs. Let's get rolling.

FanDuel DFS Guards
James Harden - SG, vs OKC ($12,500)
James Harden and Russell Westbrook are set to square off, in what should be a very entertaining showdown. Currently, Harden is the more efficient player, but it has been going back and forth all season long. Harden is averaging almost a fantasy point and a half per minute on the court, and he always plays upwards of 35 minutes, especially in big games against rival MVP candidates. Sixty plus fantasy points should be expected, but 70 plus fantasy points is very likely to happen, as well. Roster Harden in all leagues.
Jeff Teague - PG, vs PHI ($7,400)
Jeff Teague is really starting to heat up from the field. He is shooting more and more frequently over his last few games, taking at least 15 shots in three consecutive games. The Philadelphia 76ers are one of the worst teams in the league, especially against opposing point guards, and Teague should be able to take advantage of that. He makes for a great option in all leagues, and can be paired with Paul George for maximum exposure to the Indiana Pacers game.
Also Consider: Victor Oladipo - SG, at HOU ($6,000)
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Paul George - SF, vs PHI ($8,800)
Even when Paul George looks like he is not going to hit value, he turns it on in the fourth quarter to do just that. With over 40 fantasy points in four of his last five games, and over 45 fantasy points in two consecutive contests now, this game against the Philadelphia 76ers should be the first time he hits over the 50 fantasy point mark since the Charlotte Hornets game in mid-March. George has great upside, but he is also very consistent. Do not be afraid to roster him alongside of Jeff Teague. The two work together very nicely.
Jae Crowder - SF, vs MIA ($5,900)
Jae Crowder is a little bit too inconsistent for cash games. He has over 35 fantasy points in two of his last five contests, making him a solid, high-upside tournament option on the short, five-game slate. The Miami Heat are decent defensively, but should not be able to shut Crowder down from scoring. Crowder also contributes in other stat categories, so he does not need to rely exclusively on scoring. Again, this is a tournament only option. Do not roster Crowder in 50/50 contests.
Also Consider: Nikola Mirotic - PF, at MIL ($4,600)
FanDuel DFS Centers
Al Horford - C, vs MIA ($7,000)
Al Horford started to heat up when Isaiah Thomas went down with an injury. He put the team on his back while Thomas was out, but once Thomas returned, he did not stop scoring. With over 35 fantasy points in six consecutive games, it makes sense to roster Horford in all league. He has 50 plus fantasy point upside, as well, as he recently posted over 50 fantasy points against the Philadelphia 76ers. Hassan Whiteside is a very talented center, but he struggles defensively. Horford will pick him apart from range.
Also Consider: Myles Turner - C, vs PHI ($6,500)
