DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/25/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Friday RotoBallers! As usual, we have a jam-packed Friday night slate, filled with some juicy matchups. These articles focus on the overall best plays, which are typically more suited for cash games. However, with larger slates like this one, you don't have to worry about ownership getting steamed up too hard usually, so consider these suggestions GPP viable as well (some exceptions may apply).

This article will provide you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 3/25/22. Remember to monitor NBA injury news and our awesome new NBA injuries report tool as the slate can completely change before lineups lock.

As always, feel free to follow my Twitter (@Maxadelphia), to keep up to date with NBA news and for my nightly NBA bets if you're into that sort of thing. Let's go!

DraftKings and FanDuel Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Donovan Mitchell - SG, UTA @ CHA ($9,000 DK, $8,500 FD)

The Jazz got destroyed in Boston on Wednesday night, but Mitchell is not the one to blame. He posted 37/6/1 for a cool 50.5 fantasy points. Tonight's matchup against Charlotte figures to be much easier for the Jazz compared to Boston, and we've seen plenty of Hornets games this year that have produced elite fantasy environments.

Kyle Lowry - PG, MIA vs NYK ($6,500 DK, $6,100 FD)

Lowry has posted back-to-back 40+ fantasy point performances, but what really makes him enticing as a play tonight is the health of the rest of the Heat roster. The Heat have five rotation players listed as Questionable/GTD at the time of writing. Miami brought Lowry in for leadership and his post-season experience, and coming off a turbulent last few days, I expect Lowry to be the engine for Miami tonight (regardless of who else is active) in a must-win game at home against the Knicks.

Ben McLemore - SG, POR vs HOU ($3,700 DK, $4,200 FD)

It's no secret the Blazers have been decimated by injuries this year, but that makes them a great source for value plays. McLemore has played 20+ minutes in four straight games and scored double-digits in all four. This game has the highest over/under total on the slate at 234.5, and McLemore should be able to take advantage of the Rockets' poor perimeter defense.

Others to consider: Trae Young ($10,700 DK, $9,800 FD), Kevin Porter Jr. ($6,000 DK, $5,900 FD)

DraftKings and FanDuel Forwards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Kristaps Porzingis - PF/C, WAS @ DET ($8,300 DK, $8,500 FD)

Straight up; the top end of forward is a sight for sore eyes tonight. With no Kyle Kuzma for the last week or so, Porzingis has at least been scoring consistently. I'm definitely inclined to look towards the mid-range/cheaper side of forward, but at the very shallow top-end, Porzingis seems to be in the best spot.

Danilo Gallinari - PF, ATL vs GSW ($5,200 DK, $4,800 FD)

With John Collins out the last two weeks, it has been Gallinari filling his spot in the Hawks' starting lineup. Gallinari has posted 20+ fantasy points in 5/6 games in that time frame. The Hawks will be playing their 3rd game in four days, but Gallinari was rested on Wednesday, so he should be a bit more fresh compared to some of his teammates.

Otto Porter Jr. - SF, GSW @ ATL ($4,600 DK, $5,800 FD)

With Steph Curry hurt, it is all hands on deck for Golden State. Porter was rested for the Warriors' surprising win in Miami on Wednesday, but in the two previous games (both without Curry) Porter Jr. posted fantasy scores of 42.5 and 37.75, with a double-double in both games.

Others to consider: Jerami Grant ($7,100 DK, $7,500 FD), Reggie Bullock ($4,400 DK $5,100 FD)

 

DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Joel Embiid - C, PHI @ LAC ($11,200 DK & FD)

Embiid was given a rest day on Monday after an ugly loss to the Raptors, and it seems to have worked wonders. The MVP front-runner returned to the lineup against the Lakers on Wednesday and posted a 60 point fantasy performance. Like practically every other team in the league; I'm not sure who on the Clippers can truly guard Embiid effectively. I expect another 30/10 performance with plenty of FT attempts.

Drew Eubanks - C, POR @ HOU ($6,300 DK, $6,100 FD)

Eubanks has posted 30+ fantasy points in 3 of his last 4 games. The Rockets are dead last in the NBA in rebounding % and are also dead last in fantasy points allowed to centers. Eubanks just signed another 10-day contract for Portland yesterday and has played 30+ minutes in 6 of his last 7 games. I know none of us ever thought that Drew Eubanks at $6.3k would ever be actually in play this season, but if I showed you his resume blank, he would be major chalk.

Others to consider: Karl-Anthony Towns ($9,800 DK, $9,700 FD) Knicks (injury dependent)
