With the NBA season winding down, each and every slate has been at least five games. Tonight, there are five games to choose from. That is plenty of fantasy options, especially with all the value available on Yahoo.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for Yahoo on 3/30/17. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on Yahoo.

Yahoo DFS Guards
Jordan Clarkson - PG, at MIN ($22)
Jordan Clarkson is one of the better mid-priced guard options available tonight on Yahoo. His price tag is a bit higher than the other value options, but his production level is equally higher. Clarkson has over 30 fantasy points in three of his last five contests, and he gets a great matchup tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Timberwolves are going to push the pace of this game, which will only benefit Clarkson. He should see around 30 minutes of court time, and his upside is great. In his last game against the Timberwolves, which was three games ago, he posted over 45 fantasy points. Fantasy owners will be wishing for a repeat performance, but should expect around 30-35 fantasy points tonight.
Eric Gordon - SG, at POR ($16)
Eric Gordon is a great option in tournaments tonight against the Portland Trailblazers. Much like the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Portland Trailblazers are going to push the pace of the game. This will benefit both James Harden and Eric Gordon. Gordon is obviously overshadowed on the Houston Rockets' offense, but that does not thwart his upside, just his consistency. Gordon has at least 24 fantasy points in three of his last four contests. Even so, he is not well-equipped for cash games. Roster him in tournaments, as he should see 35 plus minutes on the court against an uptempo team.
Also Consider - Ish Smith - PG, vs BKN ($13)
Yahoo DFS Forwards
Nikola Mirotic - SF, vs CLE ($15)
Nikola Mirotic is entirely too cheap on Yahoo. In fact, it is almost impossible to not roster him tonight. He gets a tough matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but this game should stay close, and Mirotic is one of the Chicago Bulls' top scoring options. He has over 40 fantasy points in two of his last three contests. For his price tag, that kind of upside should be illegal. This is robbery. Roster Mirotic in both 50/50 contests and tournaments, even though he is better suited for the latter.
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson - PF, at DET ($11)
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is really starting to prove his abilities for the Brooklyn Nets. In limited minutes, he has been posting over 30 fantasy points on a consistent basis. He has over 30 fantasy points in four consecutive contests now, and it is unlikely that the Detroit Pistons' lack of defense is going to thwart his effort to continue that streak. He is very cheap on Yahoo, as Yahoo tends to ignore changes in production level. Price tag change very slow. Take advantage of that tonight. Hollis-Jefferson can be rostered in all leagues without hesitation.
Also Consider - Sam Dekker - SF, at POR ($10)
Yahoo DFS Centers
Karl-Anthony Towns - C, vs LAL ($50)
Karl-Anthony Towns is overpriced. However, that is perfectly okay on Yahoo. Yahoo underprices so many players that overpriced players are a necessary part of lineup construction. KAT has the ability to post around 70 fantasy points in a single game, and getting that kind of upside at the center position is hard to come by. With Rondae Hollis Jefferson, Nikola Mirotic, and Jordan Clarkson all too cheap, it should not be difficult to roster Towns. The Lakers are horrible against opposing centers, as Ivica Zubac struggles defensively. Towns will take advantage. Roster him in all leagues.
Also Consider - Nene - C, at POR ($10)
