The two matchups that have the most stack-appeal on Sunday are the Oklahoma City Thunder versus the Milwaukee Bucks, and the Toronto Raptors hosting the Houston Rockets. Both have plenty of potential for bloated stat lines, from not only their stars, but also from unlikely producers coming off the bench.

The Raptors versus the Rockets features two of the league's premier shooting guards who will hopefully make it rain on fantasy lineups.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for DraftKings on 3/6/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays on DraftKings.

DraftKings DFS Point Guards

Shaun Livingston (at LAL, $3,900)

Stephen Curry is the obvious option here, but Livingston should get his minutes against the Los Angeles Lakers. This game could get ugly quick and the Warriors could very well rest their star point guard in the second half, who recently missed a game last week with an ankle injury.

With Curry out of the lineup against the Atlanta Hawks, Livingston did just enough to reach projection; six points, six rebounds, three assists, and two steals. In 21 minutes against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Livingston put up 11 points, eight assists, two rebounds, and three steals.

D.J. Augustin (vs DAL, $4,000)

Emmanuel Mudiay is a solid choice here as well, who has posted two straight 20+ points and seven assist performances, but Augustin has quietly produced efficiently for Daily Fantasy. Augustin has strung together four straight double-digit scoring performances, including two for 20 or more points.

With Jameer Nelson continuing to miss action, Augustin is the next guy up on the depth chart and has seen a nice boost in minutes since the Denver Nuggets acquired him from the Oklahoma City Thunder. Denver seems to be a better fit for Augustin, as the guard position isn't crowed with Russell Westbrook anymore.

DraftKings DFS Shooting Guards

DeMar DeRozan (vs HOU, $7,600)

It's difficult not to pick a shooting guard facing the Houston Rockets. Even better that it's DeMar DeRozan. On Friday versus the Portland Trailblazers, DeRozan scored a season high 38 points in 37 minutes, consisting of an insane 24 free throws on 25 attempts from the charity stripe.

It was DeRozan's second straight 30-plus scoring performance. All the ingredients are already stirring for DeRozan to make it three in a row, in what should be a competitive contest between two good teams, one of whom (the Rockets) doesn't play defense too well. I'm definitely a fan of stacking with multiple players in this game.

James Harden (at TOR, $10,500)

I'm typically not a fan of spending up at the two spot but today's slate leaves me no choice. Harden is undoubtedly worth breaking the bank for. He is one of the few shooting guards to really spread stats, often rebounding like a forward and dishing out assists like a point guard.

Picking Harden never needs much of an explanation but it's definitely wise to keep an eye on and focus on games that should remain close throughout. It also helps that Harden has been sizzling hot. Recently, he's posted a couple of 40 point performances, several 30 point performances, and some double-doubles. Harden is always a triple-double threat and has only scored less than 20 points in eight of 61 games played this season.

DraftKings DFS Small Forwards

Giannis Antetokounmpo (vs OKC, $8,100)

Very few have been as hot as the Greek Freak. Giannis is often overlooked but he has really come into his own in his third year in the league, averaging career highs in each category. His rebound ability has greatly improved, as he flirts with a double-double every time he's on the floor.

Giannis also posted two triple-doubles, and was one rebound shy from another in his last game Friday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Also a blocks and steals threat, Antetokounmpo and the Bucks will be battling against one of the Western Conference's top teams. This is another game I recommend stacking as the Bucks will try and keep up with the fast pace of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Lance Stephenson (vs PHO, $4,000)

In his last game versus the Phoenix Suns, Stephenson scored 12 points, grabbed four rebounds, and dished out three dimes in 27 minutes. Nothing spectacular, but certainly enough to reach projection and value for his price. What really stands out about that performance is the amount of time he was on the court. It should be the same case when the Grizzlies visit the Suns this time around.

Stephenson has definitely fit a lot better into the Grizzlies' offense since being traded by the Los Angeles Clippers, where he struggled to bring back any of the magic he displayed in an Indiana Pacers uniform.

DraftKings DFS Power Forwards

Serge Ibaka (at MIL, $5,900)

Ibaka always plays a lot of minutes and has also strung together a bunch of fantasy-productive games. Always a double-double threat, Ibaka has scored in double-digits in nine straight games. Ibaka can tally a bunch of blocks and steals, and can also shoot the occasional three.

Milwaukee has been a solid opponent for Daily Fantasy stat lines lately. I've been finding success stacking games involving the Bucks. They play in a ton of close games. They stay competitive with good teams. And they score a lot of points, while allowing quite a bit as well.

Mirza Teletovic (at MEM, $5,200)

The Memphis Grizzlies have given up 9.5 three pointers a game, tied for second most in the league. They have also allowed 26.4 attempts a game, second most in the league. Enter Mirza Teletovic.

Teletovic is a big threat from behind the arc and produces the most for Daily Fantasy when he attempts threes in bulk. His ceiling is high and can break out on any given night. Against the Brooklyn Nets late in February, Teletovic exploded for 31 points on a night where he attempted 13 from downtown.

DraftKings DFS Centers

Andre Drummond (vs POR, $7,700)

Drummond has posted 15 straight double-digit rebound games, 14 of which were part of a double-double. His streak of 14 straight double-doubles was snapped most recently against the San Antonio Spurs, where he was still only one point shy of making it 15 straight.

Drummond is always a solid Daily Fantasy option, especially now that his price has remained consistently affordable, opposed to where it was early in the season when his monstrous performances raised plenty of eyebrows around the league. The best part about Drummond is that he can revisit those performances and put up an insane amount of rebounds at any time.
