DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (3/28/16): NBA DFS Advice

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

Demetri Raftopoulos highlights the top daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for 3/28/16. These are the top value and sleeper plays for your DraftKings NBA DFS lineups.

On a night with 10 games, it might be smarter to round out your team instead of splurging on someone like Russel Westbrook or Kevin Durant. There are a ton of value options that still make your lineup very strong without breaking the bank.

It would be wise to target the Phoenix Suns and Minnesota Timberwolves game as it consists of two teams who give up a ton of points. The over/under should be well over 220. The New York Knicks get their turn at the depleted New Orleans Pelicans while the Dallas Mavericks, Sacramento Kings, Los Angeles Clippers, and Los Angeles Lakers all play in the second leg of a back-to-back.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for DraftKings on 3/28/16. 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 

Ricky Rubio (vs PHO, $6,900)

Rubio has posted 50+ fantasy points three separate times in his last 10 games, and just missed that mark in his last game against the Utah Jazz. In 31 minutes, Rubio scored 23 points, dished out six, grabbed five boards, picked up four steals, one block, and drained two from downtown on two attempts.

Rubio's assists should easily see a boost against the Phoenix Suns, allowing him to flirt with another double-double. He's picked up five over his last 10, and is capable of teetering around a triple-double as well. All he needs is the right opponent. Minnesota gives up almost as many points as the Suns do a night so we can expect this one to be high scoring and fast paced. Use Rubio in both tournaments and cash games.

Goran Dragic (vs BK, $6,500)

Dragic enters a solid matchup against Brooklyn. Even though their record doesn't show it, the Nets have been a tough out all season and will likely compete with the Miami Heat. Dragic has posted 40 or more fantasy points in three of four games, and should make it four out of five against a team that allows 104.7 points a game, ninth most in the league.

The Nets have also relinquished 23.8 assists per game, fifth most in the NBA, and 8.8 steals a night, fourth most. Dragic has picked up eight steals over his last four and is at his best when he's scoring and assisting at a frequent rate.

DraftKings DFS Shooting Guards

Gary Harris (vs DAL, $4,600)

The Dallas Mavericks have given up the second most fantasy points to shooting guards this season and are entering their game against the Denver Nuggets already having played the day before. Harris is a very affordable option that is capable of doing just enough to put an efficient dent in your lineup, while freeing cap space for other bigger names on this list. He has posted 20+ fantasy points in two straight, and eight out of his last 10.

Devin Booker (at MIN, $6,500)

Booker has scored 20+ in three straight games, good for fantasy lines of 33.5, 40.75, and 45.75. He has been solid, and spreads stats very generously for his price. It would be wise to stack Phoenix and Minnesota, and Booker is a perfect addition to any lineup. He's also proven that he's capable of dropping over 30 points in a game, scoring 32 and 35 in back-to-back earlier in the month.

DraftKings DFS Small Forwards 

Carmelo Anthony (at NO, $8,300)

Melo has scored 20 or more points in nine of 10 games, but does not necessarily need to put up a crazy amount to produce for Daily Fantasy. Not this season, at least. Melo has contributed heavily with assists and rebounds, both of which become more important to Daily Fantasy stat lines. He hasn't posted less than 34 fantasy points in his last 10 and has broken out for plenty more on numerous occasions.

Melo and the Knicks visit the Big Easy to face a Pelicans team without their top guys. It might be better if Jrue Holiday winds up playing to keep the game competitive throughout, but Melo should have no trouble scoring and rebounding against all of New Orleans backup forwards.

Alonzo Gee (vs NYK, $3,300)

Speaking of, Gee is a very affordable option and will continue seeing a boost in playing time with all the injuries surrounding him. Gee has played 41 minutes in two straight games, resulting in fantasy points of 31.5 and 22.5 respectively, solid for his price. Gee has displayed the ability to score in double digits and tack on a bunch of rebounds. He doesn't have to do much to hit value either.

DraftKings DFS Power Forwards

Ed Davis (vs SAC, $4,200)

The Sacramento Kings have allowed the most fantasy points to power forwards this season. What a surprise. Davis has broken out for 30+ fantasy points in three straight and four out of his last five, while he will still hit value if he tallies over 20. Davis is a double-double threat and continuously flirts with them. When given minutes, he's a dangerous asset to any Daily Fantasy lineup.

Luis Scola (vs OKC, $3,800)

Scola is another incredible value option at the four-spot. He has put up 20 or more fantasy points in two straight and four of five games, and is a steady threat from behind the arc. Scola has attempted at least five threes in four straight games, nailing at least three in each. He'll likely attempt a bunch against the Oklahoma City Thunder in what should be a close game between two really good teams.

DraftKings DFS Centers

Hassan Whiteside (vs BK, $8,400)

Whiteside should have no trouble posting his fifth straight double-double against Brooklyn. Whiteside has posted nine double-doubles out of his last 10 and is becoming one of the most productive centers in the league for Daily Fantasy. His price is still relatively reasonable and he's picked up 30 blocks in his last 10 as well. When someone is averaging three blocks and over 10 rebounds a night, it's hard to stay away from him. Whiteside should be used in all formats.
