DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (3/23/16): NBA DFS Advice

By Keith Allison [CC-BY-SA-2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons

The grind is real for NBA. Teams that have been eliminated from the playoffs are beginning to play their rookies more, such as the Lakers, and it may be something to attack in DFS. There are also players that were traded at the deadline who are beginning to find their groove with their new teams, as well.

Okay, back to business. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for DraftKings on 3/23/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays on DraftKings.

Without wasting anymore time, here are the picks!

DraftKings DFS Guards

 

 

Stephen Curry (vs LAC, $10,500)

I love playing Curry in games that are projected to stay competitive, especially when he’s playing at home. He has scored 50+ fantasy points in three of his last four games, including a huge 64.25 fantasy point performance. He has played well against the Clippers in three games this season, and that likely won’t stop tonight. Curry can be used in all leagues tonight.

Brandon Knight (vs LAL, $7,300)

Knight has been playing well since returning from injury, and he is averaging 18.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 1.0 steal per game over the last 10 days. He’s playing big minutes for the Suns, and he’s taking between 15 and 20 shots per game. He gets a great matchup against the Lakers, who love to push the pace and struggle on defense. Knight should have no problems scoring tonight, and he has been scoring well in three categories. He can be used in all leagues.

Shelvin Mack (at HOU, $6,300)

Mack has been playing exceptionally well recently, as he has scored 35+ fantasy points in six consecutive games. Over that span, he’s averaging 16.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 8.7 assists per game. He gets a great matchup against the Rockets, who have been the worst defense in the NBA against point guards this season. They also love to push the pace, which will give Mack a small boost in opportunities. He has triple double potential, and Mack can be used in all leagues.

 

DraftKings DFS Forwards

 

LeBron James (vs MIL, $9,400)

James is coming off a triple double, and he’s a player that tends to take over a few games in a row. He’s a safe option, as he’s averaging 25.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game over the last 10 days. His price is still a bit low, and he gets a great matchup against the Bucks tonight. Milwaukee has had one of the worst defenses against the small forward this season, and James is averaging 56.9 fantasy points per game against them. He can be used in all leagues.

Gorgui Dieng (vs SAC, $6,000)

Dieng was recently on a cold streak that has caused his price tag to drop, but he seems to be over that now. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 14.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.2 blocks, and 1.8 steals per game. He gets a great matchup against a weak Sacramento defense, and Dieng has consistently been scoring 30+ fantasy points with the upside for much more. Dieng’s price is still entirely too low, and he’s one of the safest plays on the slate.

Otto Porter Jr. (vs ATL, $5,100)

As is the case with most young players, Porter Jr. has enjoyed a very up and down season. He’s currently on a hot streak, as he has scored 25+ fantasy points in six consecutive games. He’s coming off a 41.5 fantasy point performance game against the Hawks, who he will be playing tonight. He is averaging an impressive 36.4 fantasy points against Atlanta on the season, and Porter Jr. can be used in all leagues.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

 

Mason Plumlee (vs DAL, $4,600)

Plumlee has been heating up, but his price hasn’t represented his recent production. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 10.7 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 3.0 steals per game. He’s coming off a huge game against Dallas, but that game went into overtime. He should have no problems dominating the Mavs once again, and he can be used in all leagues.
