It is going to be difficult, but both Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins should be used in tournaments tonight. Pairing the two is setting yourself up for success.
In order to do that, you will need to use multiple value plays. Check out some of my favorites below.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 3/7/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays on FanDuel.

FanDuel DFS Guards
Jrue Holiday (vs SAC, $7,400)
Jrue Holiday has been playing extremely well of recent. He has over 30 fantasy points in all but one of his last 10 games. The Sacramento Kings are one of the worst teams in the league against opposing guards, and Holiday is going to take advantage of that. He is a little bit more expensive than usual right now, but for good reason. He is one of the best guard options on the board, as Stephen Curry and the like are too expensive. Holiday has the same upside as they do when taking price into consideration. Use him in all formats.
Nicolas Batum (vs MIN, $6,500)
Nicolas Batum finally looked great in his last game, which was against the Indiana Pacers. He posted over 45 fantasy points in 39 minutes on the court. It has been quite some time since Batum made headlines, but last game was definitely one for the books. He has been dealing with injuries all season long, but it looks like he is healthy again for now. It likely will not last too long, so get him into those lineups before he finds his way back to the bench.
Courtney Lee (vs MIN, $3,500)
Courtney Lee is playing for the Charlotte Hornets now, and he is playing big minutes. Unfortunately, Lee is still not producing during those minutes. He sees a lot of court time, but that doesn't matter too much when he barely scores, rebounds, or assists. Regardless, he is as cheap as it gets, and he is playing over 30 minutes, so he is worth a look in deeper tournaments. While it is unlikely that he explodes, if he gets hot from the field, he could easily soar past value.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Anthony Davis (vs SAC, $9,900)
Anthony Davis is under $10,000 tonight, and he gets the matchup of a lifetime. The Sacramento Kings are one of the worst teams in the league against opposing big men, and Davis obviously has huge potential. He posted over 50 fantasy points in his last game, which was against the Utah Jazz. The Jazz are a slow paced team with a solid defense. The Kings are an uptempo team without a defense. Imagine what A.D. could do tonight.
Jabari Parker (at CHI, $6,000)
Jabari Parker has been playing well of recent, and tonight, he gets a good matchup against the Chicago Bulls, who are currently dealing with some pretty serious injuries. Parker posted over 40 fantasy points in his last game, which was against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He is a little too inconsistent yet to use in 50/50 contests, but he is definitely one of the best tournament options on the board at the forward position. His price tag is going to continue to rise, so get him while he is cheap.
Myles Turner (vs SAS, $4,800)
Myles Turner has not been playing well of recent, but he still has great upside. Playing around 25-30 minutes per game, Turner should be producing, but he isn't. That means that his price tag is starting to drop, which is good news for fantasy owners, as they can get him at a discounted rate. Tournaments are meant for this kind of player. Do not use Turner in 50/50 contests, especially in a rough matchup against the San Antonio Spurs, but his price tag is low enough to use him in tournaments, even with a rough matchup.
FanDuel DFS Centers
DeMarcus Cousins (at NOR, $10,700)
Any time DeMarcus Cousins gets a matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans, it is a great idea to use him. The Pelicans are one of the, if not the, worst team(s) in the league against opposing centers. Cousins price tag is pretty high at this point, but there is no reason to avoid him. He is consistently hitting around 50 fantasy points per game, and he has 70 plus fantasy points potential. Use him in all formats.
