It is going to be a very solid eight-game slate tonight. Attack the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers in fantasy tonight, as Vegas has the total set at 230 points. That is 16 points higher than the next highest game.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for Yahoo on 3/13/17. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on Yahoo.

Yahoo DFS Guards
Nicolas Batum - SG, vs CHI ($31)
Nicolas Batum is one of the better high-priced options on the board tonight. His usage rate is on the rise of recent, and in his last contest, he posted over 40 fantasy points in 41 minutes. Batum is shooting quite often for the Charlotte Hornets. Against the Orlando Magic, he posted a double-double. Even though Batum does not generally post enough assists or rebounds for a double-double, he does have the ability to post a double-double, or even a triple-double, each night because he contributes in all stat categories. Roster him in tournaments tonight against the Chicago Bulls.
Jordan Clarkson - SG, at DEN ($14)
Jordan Clarkson has been performing like an elite-level guard over his last few games, and his price tag on Yahoo is entirely too cheap. The Denver Nuggets are one of the worst defensive teams in the league, so it is up to Clarkson to not flop tonight. In his last game, which was against the Philadelphia 76ers, he posted over 50 fantasy points in 34 minutes. Clarkson has ben contributing in all stat categories, posting 30 points, eight assists, and six rebounds in his last game. He can be rostered in all leagues, as he is likely to hit value.
Yahoo DFS Forwards
Gordon Hayward - SF, vs LAC ($35)
Gordon Hayward has been having a down season, but he is still averaging over a fantasy point per minute on the court. Tonight, he gets a good matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers have been solid defensively, but struggle against opposing small forwards. Against the Houston Rockets, Hayward posted over 40 fantasy points in 37 minutes. His price tag is still very reasonable compared to other elite options. Instead of paying top dollar for Jimmy Butler or Kawhi Leonard, take a risk on Hayward for much cheaper.
Brandon Ingram - SF, at DEN ($11)
Brandon Ingram is really starting to heat up for the Los Angeles Lakers. The Denver Nuggets are terrible defensively, and this game is set at 230 total points via Vegas. That is one of the highest-scoring games on the slate. Ingram has consistently been posting around 20-25 fantasy points per game over his last few games, and that should continue tonight. His price tag is very low, so rostering him will allow fantasy owners to roster players like Giannis Antetokounmpo and more.
Yahoo DFS Centers
Greg Monroe - C, at MEM ($18)
Greg Monroe gets a tough matchup tonight against one of the better defenses in the league. The Memphis Grizzlies are a slow-paced team, which should hurt Monroe's fantasy value, but he is cheap enough to be rostered in tournaments regardless. In his last three games, he has over 30 fantasy points in two of them. His upside is well beyond that, averaging over one fantasy point per minute, he just needs the court time, which he has been getting of recent.
