Eight games make up Tuesday night's slate of NBA action. Three contests jump out at me. One between two Western Conference powerhouses. The other features two Eastern Conference cellar-dwellers with plenty of potential. And the third consists of two former teammates at the center position.
In this article, I will be providing you with daily NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 3/28/17. 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, @DemetriRafto. Let's get rolling.
FanDuel DFS Guards
Jeremy Lin - PG, vs PHI ($5,800)
It has been an up and down season for Jeremy Lin, as the journeyman point guard has missed a ton of time because of injuries. But now, seemingly healthy, Lin has become a solid producer for the struggling, last place Brooklyn Nets. Lin has posted double-digit scoring totals in three straight and in nine of his last 11 games. Expect the same to continue against a Philadelphia 76ers squad that allows the eighth most points per game in the league. This one should definitely be high scoring, consisting of two defensively weak teams.
James Harden - SG, vs GS ($12,500)
Las Vegas has this game set for over 230 points. These two Western Conference juggernauts have already met twice this season (with each team picking up a win respectively), and both games have seen a combined scored of over 230 points, easily. James Harden posted a triple-double in their first meeting and was four rebounds shy in their second meeting. Russell Westbrook will undoubtedly be this year's league Most Valuable Player, but The Beard continues to prove why he deserves some votes for that honor as well. This is certainly a game to target as well.
Also Consider: Tim Hardaway Jr. - SG, vs PHO ($5,900)
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Paul George - SF, vs MIN ($8,600)
Paul George is as steady as they get for daily fantasy, and has seemingly cranked up the intensity at the right time in the season. The month of March has been especially generous to the veteran small forward, as he has shot 42.9 percent from behind the arc and has raised his point per game totals from his season average. George continues to generously spread stats across the board as well and heads into a solid matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves as the Indian Pacers cling to the seventh spot in the Eastern Conference.
Noah Vonleh - PF, vs DEN ($3,800)
Noah Vonleh certainly won't blow you away with his scoring totals. But it has been his work on the boards that raises an eyebrow for daily fantasy. Vonleh is coming off a 14 rebound performance (complemented by eight points) against the Los Angeles Lakers. Of course he is difficult to trust considering he posted only three points and three rebounds in his contest prior, but has been impressive overall at his price. This isn't a dream matchup on paper, by any means, as the Denver Nuggets allow the fewest opponent rebounds. But don't let that stop you from freeing up cap space with Vonleh in your lineup.
Also Consider: Dario Saric - PF, @ BK ($7,300)
FanDuel DFS Centers
Jusuf Nurkic - C, vs POR ($6,700)
This one is all about the storyline, people. Jusuf Nurkic faces the Denver Nuggets for the first time since they traded him to the Portland Trail Blazers at the trade deadline. This game features an exciting matchup between Nurkic and Nikola Jokic, both of whom continue to elevate their game as two of the league's rising centers, both of whom have certainly benefited from the aforementioned trade. Nurkic was a point shy away from a double-double in his last contest, and a rebound shy of one in the game before that, but posted three straight in the three prior. He's a double-double threat every time he laces up, and shouldn't be passed up on at his affordable price.
Also Consider: Ivica Zubac - C, vs LAL ($4,400)
