Friday is one of the best nights of the week for daily fantasy basketball. There are 10 very solid games to choose from tonight. Fantasy owners are looking to win some money for the fast-approaching MLB season. Let's get it done.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for Yahoo on 3/24/17. 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
Jeff Teague - PG, vs DEN ($26)
Jeff Teague is one of the better tournament options on the board tonight at the point guard position. He gets a great matchup against the Denver Nuggets, a team that is currently ranked 28th in the league against opposing point guards. Teague has over 30 fantasy points in four consecutive contests, and he has over 35 fantasy points in two consecutive games. Against the Utah Jazz, he posted 40 fantasy points in 37 minutes. Teague's price tag is very reasonable compared to some of the other similar options. Roster him, for the most part, in tournaments.
Tyler Ulis - PG, at BOS ($19)
Tyler Ulis is a huge part of the Phoenix Suns' offense, and that is not going to change tonight against the Boston Celtics. The Celtics are ranked 19th in the league against opposing point guards, which is in the bottom half of the league, and Ulis is entirely too cheap right now. He has at least 34 fantasy points in four of his last five games, and he posted over 40 fantasy points in 43 minutes against the Detroit Pistons. Seeing 40 plus minutes on the court is not unexpected for Ulis. He does it on a consistent basis. Roster Ulis in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.
Also Consider – Buddy Hield - SG, at GSW ($11)
Yahoo DFS Forwards
Paul George - SF, vs DEN ($40)
Paul George is on a hot streak right now, and fantasy owners would be wise to ride that streak until he completely cools down. The Denver Nuggets are actually one of the better teams in the league against opposing small forwards, but George is an elite-level fantasy player, which makes him matchup-proof. He has over 40 fantasy points in three of his last four games and over 50 fantasy points in two of his last four contests. George has a ceiling at around 60 fantasy points. With all the value available tonight, it should not be difficult to fit his price tag into most lineups.
Marquese Chriss - PF, at BOS ($13)
Marquese Chris has quickly become a huge part of the Phoenix Suns' offense, and his price tag has not adjusted on Yahoo. In his last game, he posted over 40 fantasy points in 31 minutes. With that kind of upside, it is impossible to leave him off of tournament lineups. He also has over 25 fantasy points tonight five consecutive games, so there is no reason to avoid him in cash games either. Chriss should see close to 30 minutes tonight against the Celtics, a team that is ranked 24th in the league against power forwards.
Also Consider – Thabo Sefolosha - SF, at MIL ($10)
Yahoo DFS Centers
Dwight Howard - C, at MIL ($23)
The Milwaukee Bucks struggled with injuries this season, and it showed, as they are currently ranked 23rd in the league against opposing center options. That bodes well for Dwight Howard. Howard has been consistently hitting value, posting over 30 fantasy points in three consecutive games now. He posted over 40 fantasy points in 36 minutes against the Washington Wizards, and he should see similar numbers tonight. His price tag is very low for his recent production level. Do not avoid Robin Lopez in tournaments, however!
Also Consider – Robin Lopez - C, vs PHI ($10)
