Tonight, there is a huge 11-game slate, so finding both value and expensive options should be rather easy. Yahoo provides so much value that rostering Russell Westbrook, even with his very high price tag, will be possible in all lineups.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for Yahoo on 3/31/17. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on Yahoo.

Yahoo DFS Guards
Russell Westbrook - PG, vs SAS ($64)
Russell Westbrook is one of the best fantasy players in NBA history. He recently broke the NBA record for the highest scoring triple-double ever. In his last game, he posted over 90 fantasy points. Tonight, Westbrook gets a tough matchup against the San Antonio Spurs, one of the best defensive team in the league, but he is matchup proof. If the Oklahoma City Thunder are going to win this game, Westbrook is going to score 40 or 50 regular points. His fantasy value is much higher than that, as he contributes in both rebounds and assists. Even at $64, Westbrook needs to be rostered in all leagues.
Andre Iguodala - SG, vs HOU ($11)
Andre Iguodala is far too cheap tonight against the Houston Rockets. He has been a much bigger part of the Golden State Warriors' offense of recent, posting over 25 fantasy points in three consecutive games. Against the Memphis Grizzlies, he posted over 40 fantasy points in 31 minutes. With that kind of upside, it is difficult to ignore Iguodala on Yahoo. His low price tag will make rostering Russell Westbrook much easier. Iguodala is very likely going to hit value, and he also has the ability to post well beyond value.
Also Consider - Monta Ellis - SG, at TOR ($10)
Yahoo DFS Forwards
Trevor Ariza - SF, at GSW ($19)
Trevor Ariza is starting to play much better over his last few games. Against the Oklahoma City Thunder, he posted just under 50 fantasy points, and in the game immediately after that, which also happened to be against the Golden State Warriors, he posted just under 35 fantasy points. That is value at his price tag. He is a little bit underpriced on Yahoo and worth consideration in all leagues. He is playing big minutes and should continue to do so. Expect a repeat performance tonight against the Warriors.
Solomon Hill - SF, vs SAC ($11)
Solomon Hill is worth consideration in tournaments tonight against the Sacramento Kings based solely on his court time. He is on the better end of 40 minutes per game, and that is plenty of time for him to hit value against a terrible Kings' defense. Hill, however, is not the most efficient fantasy player on the board, as he only produces around half a fantasy point per minute on the court, which is exactly why he is not recommended in cash games. It is not likely that he is going to hit value, but with that much court time, he is definitely possible.
Also Consider - Amir Johnson - PF, vs ORL ($10)
Yahoo DFS Centers
Rudy Gobert - C, vs WAS ($35)
Rudy Gobert is the best center on the board tonight. There are a couple of great value options available, as well, such as Myles Turner and Nene, but Gobert has the most upside. He has over 50 fantasy points in three of his last five games, posting over 60 fantasy points once during that time span. The Washington Wizards are horrible defensively against opposing centers, as neither Ian Mahinmi or Marcin Gortat are going to stop Gobert from scoring or rebounding. A 20 point, 20 rebound game is not out of the question. Roster Gobert in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.
Also Consider - Myles Turner - C, at TOR ($22)
