As always, DraftKings has broken the Sunday slate up into two smaller slates. The early slate features three games, while the late slate features four games. The later, larger slate is being referred to as the "featured" slate, and that is what we will be attacking today.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 3/4/18.

These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options, to lower-priced players and value picks on DraftKings. If you have any questions, send me a message on Twitter at @BalesSJustin.

DraftKings DFS Guards

Rajon Rondo - PG, at DAL ($5,800)

Rondo has had his ups and downs this season, but he has been locked into big minutes recently, making him a great option tonight. He has played 32+ minutes in each of his last three games, averaging 39.9 fantasy points per game over that span. He has triple double potential, but his price tag does not represent that. He also gets a good matchup against the Dallas Mavericks, and Rondo can be used in all leagues.

Trey Burke - PG/SG, at SAC ($5,300)

Burke only played 19 minutes in his last game, but he was able to play 25+ minutes in his three games prior to that. In those three games, he is averaging 23.3 points, 1.7 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 1.0 steal in 27 minutes per game. He has seen his usage rating sit around 25% recently, and he has taken between 11 and 22 shots in each of his last four games. He gets a great matchup against the Sacramento Kings, who have struggled defensively, and Burke can be considered in all leagues, as he should be minutes in the mid-20s tonight.

DraftKings DFS Forwards

Anthony Davis - PF/C, at DAL ($11,700)

Davis burned a lot of fantasy owners in his last game, scoring only 49.75 fantasy points in 37 minutes. That does not display how well he has been playing, though, as he is averaging an absurd 37.8/15.8/1.8/3.0/2.5 line in 40.0 minutes per game since the All Star Break. He gets an elite matchup against the Dallas Mavericks, who have struggled against big men. Davis is not going to come cheap, but he makes an elite option in all leagues, as he features one of the highest usage ratings in the NBA.

Jabari Parker - SF/PF, vs PHI ($4,900)

Parker looks fairly healthy now, playing 24+ minutes in three of his last four games. In those three games, he is averaging 27.8 fantasy points per game. He is averaging 1.06 fantasy points per minute at home this season, and he gets a solid matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers, who aren't scared to turn a game into a shootout. Parker certainly comes with some risk because of his injury concerns, but he can be considered in all leagues on the smaller slate.

DraftKings DFS Centers

Joel Embiid - C, at MIL ($10,200)

Embiid has been playing well since the All Star Break, as he is averaging 24.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.7 blocks, and 1.0 steal in 31.3 minutes per game since then. Over that same span, he is averaging 51.8 fantasy points per game. He gets a great matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks, who rank 25th in the NBA against the center. Embiid features a usage rating over 30%, and he is an option that can be considered in all leagues.
