The season is winding down to an end, so it is always great to see a big, 10-game slate on a Wednesday. This is the kind of night that fantasy owners dream about. There is a ton of value tonight on Yahoo, which means it should be easy to get those more expensive options.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for Yahoo on 3/29/17. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on Yahoo.

Yahoo DFS Guards
Dennis Schroder - PG, at PHI ($27)
Dennis Schroder makes for a great pairing with Ersan Ilyasova tonight against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers are horrible defensively, Schroder is underpriced, and he has over 40 fantasy points in three consecutive games. The Sixers are not going to slow him down. He tends to be better suited for tournaments, but with his recent production level, roster him in all leagues until he cools down. He has at least 24 shot attempts in three consecutive games, so it looks like he is becoming a much larger part of the offense with Paul Millsap injured.
Buddy Hield - SG, vs UTA ($13)
Buddy Hield's price tag tonight is a joke. He needs to be rostered in all lineups, as his price tag is far too low. He struggled in his last game, posting 18.8 fantasy points in 34 minutes against the Memphis Grizzlies, but in four prior games, he posted at least 29.9 fantasy points. Against the Golden State Warriors, he posted over 45 fantasy points in 33 minutes. With that kind of upside, it is impossible to avoid Hield. Fantasy owners are going to be starting from behind, if Hield is not in every lineup.
Also Consider - Tony Allen - SG, vs IND ($10)
Yahoo DFS Forwards
Ersan Ilyasova - PF, at PHI ($19)
Paul Millsap has been out for the last couple of games, and he is out tonight, as well. Ersan Ilyasova is likely going to play around 30-35 minutes against the Philadelphia 76ers, and that should lead to him hitting value at his current price tag. He has over 30 fantasy points in two consecutive games, and the Sixers are horrible defensively. Ilyasova can get hot from beyond the arc, and if that happens, fantasy owners are in for a pleasant surprise. Even if he does not heat up from the field, he can contribute in other stat categories. There is no reason to avoid him tonight, as he should post over 30 fantasy points, which is value at his price tag. He is worth consideration in all leagues.
PJ Tucker - vs CHA ($11)
PJ Tucker is playing big minutes for the Toronto Raptors right now, which is allowing him to consistently hit value. In his last four games, he has over 30 minutes on the court in all of them. He also has over 20 fantasy points in six consecutive games, posting over 30 fantasy points in 34 minutes against the Dallas Mavericks. He has consistency, and his upside is great. Tucker is almost as cheap as it gets on Yahoo. Yahoo really needs to start tightening up these price tag, but until that happens, continue to roster all these cheap guards and forwards.
Also Consider - Amir Johnson - PF, vs MIL ($10)
Yahoo DFS Centers
Rudy Gobert - C, at SAC ($32)
Rudy Gobert needs to be rostered in both 50/50 contests and tournaments. He has over 50 fantasy points in three of his last four games, and he is going to continue to play well tonight against the Sacramento Kings. The Kings are one of the worst defensive teams in the league, and Gobert is simply too cheap. His price tag is much higher than the prior-mentioned recommendations, but he also has a much higher talent level. To get Gobert for around the same price tag as Kristaps Porzingis is almost robbery. Start each lineup with Gobert. Move on from there with value options.
Also Consider - Cody Zeller - C, at TOR ($14)
