DraftKings DFS – NBA Fantasy Basketball Advice & Value Picks (3/6/15)

Below are some DraftKings DFS lineup picks for today’s NBA action, March 6th, 2015. These players represent potential fantasy basketball sleepers based on their matchups, and can be strong DFS lineup plays based on their DraftKings prices and dollar values.

Keep in mind, DFS fantasy basketball is a fast-paced environment that includes last minute changes, so be sure to check NBA injury reports and your DFS lineups prior to tip-off.

Editors Note: For live banter about NBA DFS lineups and strategies, be sure to check out RotoBaller’s famous fantasy basketball chat room at the bottom of this article.

 

Worth the Investment

Anthony Davis (NOP, PF) - $10,400

Davis missed five games and did not miss a beat. In his return, the 21-year-old put up a ridiculous line of 39 points, 13 rebounds and eight blocks, plus three steals and two assists. That was good for 81.25 DFS points.

With New Orleans on the cusp of the playoffs, Davis will play as many minutes as he can handle. And it also doesn’t hurt that Boston has allowed the 10th-most DFS points to opposing power forwards in the last week.

In the first meeting between the two teams on Jan. 12, Davis logged 40 minutes and recorded 34 points, nine boards, four assists and three blocks.

 

Greg Monroe (DET, PF) - $7,800

Over the last five games, Monroe has played an average of 37.0 minutes, up from 30.9 on the season. He’s responded to the tune of 17.8 points, 13.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 steals.

With Dwight Howard out, the Rockets interior defense has suffered, as they’ve allowed an average of 43.9 paint points per game – ninth worst in the league during his absence. Also of note: Houston has allowed the second-most DFS points to opposing power forwards during the last week.

 

Rudy Gobert (UTA, C) - $6,700

Gobert is on a roll. He has posted three straight double-doubles, and four in the last five games.

Though Utah is on the road (11-20 away record), Philly has allowed the second-most DFS points to opposing centers over the last week, and give up the third-most for the year.

In the team’s lone meeting vs. the Sixers on Dec. 27, the Stifle Tower played just 17 minutes, but filled the stat sheet with four points, six boards, two assists, two steals and three swats. Small sample size, sure, but it’s an indicator of what Gobert can do even in limited court time.

Since Enes Kanter was traded, he’s played at least 31 minutes in six of seven games, including 36 in two straight contests. His numbers during this stretch: 11.8 points, 14.8 rebounds and 3.7 blocks.

 

Nikola Mirotic (CHI, PF) - $5,700

With Taj Gibson out indefinitely, Mirotic has soaked up essentially all of the backup big-man minutes in Chicago. Over the last three games, he’s averaged 26.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 2.3 three-pointers made in 32.0 minutes. His usage rate is also a staggering 32.3 during this same span.

Even though Indiana ranks first in DFS points allowed to opposing power forwards this season, Mirotic’s price warrants a strong look. When given minutes, he can produce.

 

Top Sleepers

Jae Crowder (BOS, PF) - $4,900

No Avery Bradley (elbow) means extra minutes to go around. Crowder should be one of the beneficiaries off the bench. He has cooled a little bit since arriving in Boston, but has still scored in double figures and put up at least 28 DFS points in five of the last seven games.

 

Greivis Vasquez (TOR, PG) - $4,600

With Kyle Lowry’s return uncertain, Vasquez will be running the show in Toronto.

In his last game, he logged a season-high 40 minutes and dished out 13 assists, to go along with six points, three boards and two steals. Now Vasquez gets a matchup with New Orleans, who has allowed the 10th-most DFS points to opposing point guards.
