We have an oddly small Friday slate with only seven games, but that may be because of the NCAA Tournament. Regardless, we still have plenty of players to choose from, and multiple ways to construct our lineups tonight.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 3/22/19. These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options to lower-priced players and value picks on FanDuel. You can also check out today's DraftKings lineup picks. Remember to check your lineups before tipoff for injury updates.

FanDuel DFS Guards
Fred Vanvleet - PG, vs OKC ($5,600)
Kyle Lowry has been ruled out tonight, meaning VanVleet will take over as the primary ball-handler. In his three games since returning from injury, he's averaging 17.7 points, 1.0 rebound, 7.3 assists, and 1.0 steal in 33.2 minutes per game. He has also posted 35+ fantasy points in each of his last two games. VanVleet gets a decent matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder, and he makes for an easy value option in his new role tonight.
Delon Wright - SG, at ORL ($5,100)
Similarly to VanVleet, Wright will see a new role tonight with Mike Conley doubtful. While Wright has been playing big minutes, he'll take over as the primary ball-handler, while also looking for his shot more. Wright has flashed 40+ fantasy point upside in the past, and he could find similar success without Conley on the court. He gets somewhat of a difficult matchup against the Orlando Magic, but he can be considered in all leagues for his current price tag.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Chandler Parsons - SF, at ORL ($4,100)
The Memphis Grizzlies will be without Conley, Avery Bradley, Kyle Anderson, C.J. Miles, and Jaren Jackson Jr. tonight. That opens minutes and usage for other players, such as Chandler Parsons. He has played 25 and 22 minutes in his last two games, scoring 28.2 and 33.7 fantasy points in those contests. While the minutes aren't elite, he isn't afraid to takeover the offense while on the court. If you aren't comfortable with Parsons tonight, Bruno Caboclo is another option here that can be considered.
Paul Millsap - PF, at NY ($7,200)
Millsap has been playing extremely well for the Denver Nuggets recently. He has posted 30+ fantasy points in 12 of his last 15 games, including each of his last five. He has also flashed elite upside recently, scoring 50.1 fantasy points against the Dallas Mavericks. Millsap gets an elite matchup against the New York Knicks tonight, and they have struggled against bigs throughout the season. He's a safe option, who can be used in both cash games and tournaments tonight.
FanDuel DFS Centers
JaVale McGee - C, vs BKN ($5,600)
McGee has been playing at a higher level recently, averaging 11.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, and 1.2 steals in 26.3 minutes per game over the last 10 days. He has been relatively consistent, while also flashing tremendous upside over that span, as well. McGee gets an elite matchup against the Brooklyn Nets, who feature one of the worst defenses in the NBA against centers. His minutes have been inconsistent, but his production has been enough to be considered in all leagues on this slate tonight.
