Yahoo Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (3/20/17): NBA DFS Advice

There are seven games tonight, and fortunately for NBA fans, the Golden State Warriors and Oklahoma City Thunder meet again. This time, Kevin Durant will not be in the lineup. Russell Westbrook will still be trying his hardest to shut down the Warriors, though. It should be a fun game to watch, but is it a good idea to attack from a fantasy perspective? Read on to find out.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for Yahoo on 3/20/17. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on Yahoo. 

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @thedominatordfs.

Yahoo DFS Guards

James Harden - PG, vs DEN ($62)

James Harden is very expensive on Yahoo, but with all that value that is available tonight, it should not be too difficult to fit him into a lineup or two. The Denver Nuggets are horrendous defensively, but both the Houston Rockets and Nuggets will push the pace of this game, which will ultimately benefit Harden. In his last four games, Harden has over 64 fantasy points in three of them. He has huge upside, which he has shown multiple times throughout the season, posting triple-doubles in over 15 games. He has at least 40 regular points in two consecutive games now, and if this game stays close, it would not be surprising to see that streak continue. Roster Harden in all leagues, as long as his high price tag does not severely impact the overall talent level within the lineup.

Tim Hardaway Jr - SG, at CHA ($18)

Tim Hardaway Jr is too cheap on Yahoo right now, so his low price tag could counter the high price tag of James Harden. In his nine games, he has over 25 fantasy points in eight of them. He is consistently hitting value, and against the Cleveland Cavaliers, he posted over 40 fantasy points in 35 minutes. He should continue to play big minutes for the Atlanta Hawks tonight, and the Charlotte Hornets are not going to completely shut Hardaway down. He is too good of a scorer. With over 15 regular points in eight of his last nine games, as well, all the other stat categories will only bolster his upside. This is one of the most obvious fantasy options on the board tonight.

Also Consider – Eric Gordon - SG, vs DEN ($16) 

 

Yahoo DFS Forwards

Robert Covington - SF, at ORL ($27) 

Robert Covington really cooled down following the All-Star break, but he still has massive upside for his price tag on Yahoo. The Orlando Magic are terrible defensively, and Covington should be able to take advantage of that. He is just not shooting as much as he should be. If he gets hot from beyond the arc, however, he is very likely going to soar beyond value. Against the Portland Trailblazers, he posted 48.6 fantasy points in 40 minutes, scoring 24 points and grabbing 13 rebounds. That kind of upside is still present, but it is just happening a lot less frequently. Covington is best suited for tournaments, even if his price tag is a little bit low right now.

Taurean Prince - SF, at CHA ($10) 

Taurean Prince is as cheap as it gets on Yahoo right now, but he is expected to play around 30 minutes tonight against the Charlotte Hornets. In his last four games, he has over 23 fantasy points in three of them, and at least 29 minutes of court time in the same three. Against the Memphis Grizzlies, Prince posted over 30 fantasy points in 29 minutes. He does have great upside, especially for his price tag, but he also tends to struggle from time to time. With Paul Millsap out and Mike Dunleavy questionable, it is very likely that Prince hits value tonight. His low price tag will make rostering James Harden seem easy. Use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.

Also Consider – Joe Johnson - SF, at IND ($10) 

 

Yahoo DFS Centers

DeAndre Jordan - C, vs NYK ($27) 

DeAndre Jordan has huge upside tonight against the New York Knicks. The Knicks struggle against all positions, but the center position seems to really dominate against Guillermo Hernangomez and company. In his last four games, Jordan has over 35 fantasy points in three of them. He posted over 55 fantasy points in 36 minutes against the Philadelphia 76ers, and two games later, followed that up with over 45 fantasy points in 37 minutes against the Milwaukee Bucks. His upside is really starting to show, and when Jordan gets on a roll, it is difficult to slow him down. Roster Jordan in tournaments tonight.

Also Consider – Cody Zeller - C, vs ATL ($14)
