DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (3/18/16): NBA DFS Advice

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

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook get a matchup against the Sixers tonight, and it might be smart to start those two on the same team tonight. It's more of a GPP idea, but you could get 120+ fantasy points if everything turns out well.

Okay, back to business. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for DraftKings on 3/18/16. 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

 

Russell Westbrook (at PHI, $10,500)

This could be one of the best plays on the night, or he could be benched after the first quarter and leave everyone wanting more. In one game against the Sixers this season, he scored 21 points with 17 rebounds, 11 assists, and 3 steals. The Sixers don’t have anyone that is going to be able to slow him down, and he’ll likely triple double if he’s given the minutes. The blowout factor adds a bit of risk to Westbrook, but he’s still a good option tonight.

Brandon Knight (at LAL, $7,000)

Knight has played two full games since returning from injury and he has scored 52.5 and 27.0 fantasy points. That sums up his season, as he has either been great or a bust. He gets a great matchup against the Lakers tonight, who have one of the worst defenses in the NBA. Knight is taking as many shots as he wants, as he has taken 38 shots (23 three-point shots) in his last two games. He’ll have an easier time scoring against LA tonight, and he’s a great GPP option.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (vs SAC, $5,600)

KCP has been playing well recently, as he’s averaging 20.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.4 steals per game over the last 10 days. He gets a great matchup against the Kings, who have really struggled against scorers this season. He has 40+ fantasy point upside, and he should have a decent floor in a great matchup. He can be used in all leagues tonight.

 

DraftKings DFS Forwards

 

Anthony Davis (vs POR, $10,000)

Davis has been heating up a bit, as he’s averaging 29.0 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 blocks, and 1.3 steals per game over the last 10 days. He gets a great matchup against the Blazers, who have struggled against big men this season. Davis has proven to be a great rebounder, and he’s averaging a double double against the Blazers in three games this season. Davis can be used in all leagues.

Chandler Parsons (vs GS, $6,500)

Although Golden State has a good defense, I love taking scorers against them because someone has to score to keep the game close. Parsons has the ability to do that for the Mavs, as he has multiple 20+ point games over his last 10 days. He can also add rebounds, assists, and steals, and he has 50 fantasy point upside. He’s locked into big minutes for Dallas, and he can be used in all leagues.

Michael Beasley (vs MIN, $4,100)

Beasley isn’t playing bg minutes for Houston, but he’s making the most of his time on the court. Over his last four games, he’s averaging 27.1 fantasy points in only 19.0 minutes per game. He gets a great matchup against a fast paced Minnesota team, and Beasley will likely continue to dominate, as he has a ridiculous usage rating. He can be used in all leagues.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

 

Enes Kanter (at PHI, $5,200)

Kanter has been playing out of his mind recently, as he’s averaging 17.0 points and 11.4 rebounds in only 22.5 minutes per game over the last 10 days. He gets an easy matchup against the Sixers tonight, who have one of the worst defenses in the NBA. Kanter has scored 30+ fantasy points in four consecutive games, and he should be able to make it five consecutive tonight. He can be used in all leagues against the Sixers.
