There is quite a bit of value over at Yahoo tonight with eight games scheduled for action. Yahoo needs to start adjusting price tags, though, as it is starting to turn into luck with quite a few minimum-priced fantasy options to choose from. This article will help to sort all of that out.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for Yahoo on 3/22/17. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on Yahoo.

Yahoo DFS Guards
Victor Oladipo - SG, vs PHI ($24)
Victor Oladipo gets a great matchup tonight against the Philadelphia 76ers, and he has been playing well over his last few games for the Oklahoma City Thunder. With over 30 fantasy points in five of his last six games, it is safe to roster Oladipo in both 50/50 contests and tournaments. He should only get better tonight, as the Sixers tends to struggle defensively against all positions. Even with Russell Westbrook taking over the offense, Oladipo is seeing around 15 shots per game. He also contributes with rebounds and assists. His price tag is fairly reasonable on Yahoo tonight, so roster him in all leagues at the shooting guard positions.
Joe Ingles - SG, vs NYK ($10)
Joe Ingles is as cheap as possible on Yahoo right now, but he has been consistently posting over 20 fantasy points per game. In fact, he has over 20 fantasy points in five consecutive contests tonight, and the New York Knicks are horrible defensively, so Ingles is not going to slow down tonight. He is playing big minutes for the Utah Jazz and should see anywhere between 25-35 minutes tonight, as well. Based on his recent level of play, Ingles is a great cash game option. He can also be used in tournaments as a salary relief option, as he will make rostering players like Russell Westbrook and LeBron James much easier.
Also Consider – Denzel Valentine - SG, vs DET ($10)
Yahoo DFS Forwards
Willie Cauley-Stein - PF, vs MIL ($18)
The Sacramento Kings provide great upside and value at the power forward position tonight. The Milwaukee Bucks are not one of the worst defensive teams in the league, but with Willie Cauley-Stein and Skal Labissiere's huge upside, it does not matter. Cauley-Stein posted over 45 fantasy points in 33 minutes against the Phoenix Suns three games ago, and he has over 25 fantasy points in three of his last four games. His low price tag makes him that much more enticing. He is likely going to hit value, but his upside is also through the roof. Roster him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments. In fact, pairing him with Skal Labissiere in tournaments is a great move, as one of the two usually explode.
Skal Labissiere - PF, vs MIL ($10)
Skal Labissiere has the same kind of upside that Willie Cauley-Stein has. With the departure of DeMarcus Cousins, Labissiere really stepped up at the power forward positions. Against the Phoenix Suns, much like WCS, Labissiere posted over 45 fantasy points in 30 minutes. He has over 20 fantasy points in three of his last four games, and his price tag is as low as possible on Yahoo. That makes no sense. As previously mentioned, Yahoo really needs to start adjusting price tag to make it a little bit harder to find such great value. Do not pass on Cauley-Stein or Labissiere, even if they do play for the same team.
Also Consider – Joe Johnson - SF, vs NYK ($10)
Yahoo DFS Centers
Dwight Howard - C, at WAS ($23)
Dwight Howard has over 25 fantasy points in 12 consecutive games. His price tag is down on Yahoo right now, so he makes for a great option in both 50/50 contests and tournaments. Against the Portland Trailblazers, he just missed 40 fantasy points in 34 minutes of court time. In his prior game against the Portland Trailblazers, he just missed 50 fantasy points in 38 minutes of court time, so the upside is undoubtedly there. Howard gets a great matchup tonight against the Washington Wizards, a team with no regard for defense, but loves to push the pace of the game. It is likely that Howard hits value, and his upside is great. He makes for a great addition to any lineup.
Also Consider – Richaun Holmes - C, at OKC ($14)
