Yahoo has so many great value options that rostering the more expensive players is actually going to be the issue. This article will help to sort some of that out.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for Yahoo on 3/27/17. 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
Russell Westbrook - PG, at DAL ($64)
At first glance, it looks like Russell Westbrook is too overpriced to be used on Yahoo, but that is not the case. Westbrook is undoubtedly overpriced, yes. However, there are so many readily available value options on the board tonight that it would almost be an injustice to avoid Westbrook. He posted just under 70 fantasy points in his last game, which was against the Houston Rockets, and he gets a good matchup against the Dallas Mavericks, a team owned by Mark Cuban who recently said Westbrook was "not a star." He will be looking to show him exactly how big of a star he really is. Roster Westbrook in all leagues.
Buddy Hield - SG, vs MEM ($13)
Buddy Hield gets a tough matchup tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies, but he has been playing so well over his last few games that he needs to be rostered regardless of his matchup. In his last game, he posted just under 30 fantasy points in 23 minutes against the Los Angeles Clippers. Prior to that, he posted over 45 fantasy points in 33 minutes against the Golden State Warriors. The consistency has been there. The upside is obviously there. Buddy Hield is the best overall fantasy option available tonight.
Also Consider: Tony Allen - SG, at SAC ($10)
Yahoo DFS Forwards
LaMarcus Aldridge - PF, vs CLE ($29)
Since returning from his absence due to an issue with his heart, LaMarcus Aldridge has been a force to be reckoned with. He posted over 40 fantasy points in two of his last three games now, and one of those games was against the Memphis Grizzlies, a very solid defensive team. The Cleveland Cavaliers have been dealing with injuries at the power forward and center positions, and Aldridge will look to exploit that tonight. The San Antonio Spurs and Cleveland Cavaliers are two of the best teams in the league, and this should be a great game to kick back and enjoy.
Skal Labissiere - PF, vs MEM ($11)
Much like Buddy Hield, Skal Labissiere gets a tough matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies, but that does not mean avoid him in all leagues. He has been a little bit inconsistent, as he posted under 10 fantasy points in his last game, but he has great upside, as he posted 34 fantasy points in 27 minutes against the Golden State Warriors two games ago. A few games back, he posted over 45 fantasy points in 30 minutes against the Phoenix Suns. The upside is there, but the consistency is not. Avoid him in cash games, but roster him in tournaments. It is that simple.
Also Consider: Solomon Hill - SF, at UTA ($10)
Yahoo DFS Centers
Nikola Vucevic - C, at TOR ($30)
Again, spending money tonight is going to be a little bit difficult, but players like Russell Westbrook and Nikola Vucevic can help. Vucevic has consistently been posting over 40 fantasy points per game with the exception of his last game, in which he only played 26 minutes and still posted 36.6 fantasy points. The Toronto Raptors actually struggle against opposing centers, so Vucevic should have no issues scoring at will. He is really starting to turn up his fantasy production, so fantasy owners would be wise to take advantage of that and roster him in all leagues.
Also Consider: Nerlens Noel - C, vs OKC ($16)
