DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 3/9/16

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

Kevin Durant has been playing out of this world and it doesn't look like anyone is going to be able to slow him down any time soon. If you haven't seen him play yet this season, do yourself a favor. Turn on the TV and watch him tonight. You will not be disappointed.

Okay, back to business. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for DraftKings on 3/9/16. 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

James Harden (at PHI, $10,700)

Harden is an easy pick tonight, but he may get a bit of rest if this game gets out of hand quick. He gets a great matchup against the Sixers, who have really struggled against everyone this season, especially elite players. Harden has been on fire, as he has scored 70+ fantasy points in two of his last three games. He also scored 71.8 fantasy points in 40.1 minutes against the Sixers earlier this season, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.

Kemba Walker (vs NO, $8,300)

Walker has been playing exceptionally well recently, as he has scored 50+ fantasy points in three of his last four games. He gets a great matchup against a fast paced Pelicans team, who have struggled against point guards this season. Walker has also been a significantly better player at home, which is where the game will be played tonight. He doesn’t come with much risk, but he has tons of upside, and he can be used in all leagues.

Mario Chalmers (at BOS, $5,200)

Who knows who the Grizzlies will opt to bench tonight, but we know that Mike Conley is going to be out for the next couple of games. That means Chalmers will play as many minutes as he can handle, as he played 41 minutes in his last game. Over the last 10 days, Chalmers is averaging 13.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 2.7 steals in only 26.3 minutes per game. He can be used in all leagues tonight, as he will easily hit value in 30+ minutes tonight.

 

DraftKings DFS Forwards

Kevin Durant (vs LAC, $10,600)

Durant has been as hot as anyone in the NBA, as he has scored 60+ fantasy points in five of his last six games. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 31.6 points, 11.0 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 2.2 blocks, and 1.2 steals per game. He gets a great matchup against the Clippers, and this game will likely stay close throughout. The Thunder will be relying on Durant from the first quarter to the fourth quarter, and he should not be avoided tonight. He can be used in all leagues.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (vs MIA, $8,700)

Alphabet has been on fire recently, although he does struggle every now and again, and use the term struggle lightly. He has scored 65+ fantasy points in three of his last five games, and he’s averaging 18.8 points, 10.0 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 1.7 blocks, and 2.3 steals per game over the last 10 days. Alphabet tends to play significantly better at home, and he’ll get a great matchup against the Heat tonight. Even at the inflated price tag, he can be used in all leagues.

JaMychal Green (at BOS, $4,500)

Zach Randolph is questionable tonight, and Green is an automatic plug and play if he’s out. If Randolph is starting, Green is best suited for GPPs. Regardless of the situation, Green has been playing well enough to earn himself more minutes, as he’s coming off a huge game with 16 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks, and 4 steals in 37 minutes against the Cavs. Keep an eye on Randolph and then make a decision on Green.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

Alex Len (vs NY, $6,600)

There are a few great options at center tonight, but it would be silly to avoid Len right now. He has scored 30+ fantasy points in each of his last five games, including three games with 50+ fantasy points. He’s starting at power forward, which seems to have limited the amount of fouls he’s committing per game. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 20.4 points, 14.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.4 blocks per game. He’s more of a focal point of the Suns offense, and Len can be used in all leagues tonight.
