There is a decent five-game slate tonight, so finding value is going to be a little bit difficult, but it is not impossible. The Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns game is going to be a good one to attack.
In this article, I will be providing you with daily NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 3/9/17. The picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays.
And now for the good stuff.
FanDuel DFS Guards
Russell Westbrook - PG, vs SA ($13,300)
It's a small slate, which means Westbrook is in play. He comes with a ridiculous price tag, but he has triple double potential on a nightly basis, and he has been playing well recently. He's locked into big minutes for the Thunder, and he will need to have an elite showing if they want to upset the Spurs tonight. Westbrook can be used in all leagues.
D'Angelo Russell - PG, at PHO ($6,700)
Russell has benefit quite a bit from the Lakers trading Lou Williams, as he is now locked into big minutes with a larger offensive role. He is coming off a big game against the Mavs, and he gets an elite matchup against the Suns tonight. This game should be played at an extremely fast pace, and Russell will see plenty of opportunities to hit value. He can be used in all leagues on the small slate.
Also Consider: Damian Lillard - PG, vs PHI ($8,800)
FanDuel DFS Forwards
LeBron James - SF, at DET ($11,200)
James has been a man on a mission recently, scoring at least 59 fantasy points in each of his last three games. He's a triple double threat, and he has been the main focal point of the offense. He gets a tough matchup against the Pistons tonight, but James is a player that can dominate any defense. He can be used in all leagues.
Dario Saric - PF, at POR ($7,400)
Saric has really stepped his game up since the All Star break, and he has been the focal point of the Sixers offense with Joel Embiid out. That is not going to change tonight, and Saric should continue shooting at will. He also comes with the ability to add peripheral stats each night, and he isn't all that expensive in a plus matchup against the Blazers. Saric can be used in all leagues.
Also Consider: Maurice Harkless - SF, vs PHI ($4,800)
FanDuel DFS Centers
Alan Williams - C, vs LAL ($5,900)
Williams has seen an increase in minutes recently, and he's still a bit too cheap on FanDuel tonight. He is a high energy player, who can rebound with the best of them. He gets an elite matchup against a fast paced Lakers team, who have struggled against big men this season. Williams will likely be highly owned, so avoid him at your own risk.
Also Consider: Jusuf Nurkic - C, vs PHI ($6,500)
