The FanDuel main slate begins at 7 pm on Sunday night and features four games that could significantly impact the playoff picture, especially in the Western Conference. As far as injuries are concerned, Nemanja Bjelica, Trevor Ariza, Avery Bradley, Joakim Noah, Chandler Parsons, and Danilo Gallinari are all listed on the injury report in some shape or form.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 3/31/19. 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.

FanDuel DFS Guards

Stephen Curry - PG, vs. CHA ($9,800)

With Denver not making it easy for Golden State to claim the top spot in the Western Conference, Steph and the boys will continue to see a full workload until that mission is accomplished. The former MVP will likely be the highest-owned stud on the slate on Sunday night and should hit his value of around 50 fantasy points with no issues at all.

Jamal Murray - PG, vs. WSH ($7,300)

Murray has been playing well as of late and is generously priced on Sunday night. He dumped 27 points on the Thunder a few nights ago and will be matched up against one of the worst defenses in the league. If you are unable to afford the services of Curry or Kevin Durant, Murray can be had at a discounted fantasy price.

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Miles Bridges - SF, @ GSW ($5,500)

Bridges finds himself with an expanded role for a Hornets team that still has a chance of claiming the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference playoff picture. As Nicolas Batum continues to receive the dreaded “DNP-Coach’s Decision” designation, Bridges, along with Dwayne Bacon, should see an increase in fantasy relevance, especially if you are looking for two guys with a high upside.

JaMychal Green - PF, vs. MEM ($4,000)

Green is averaging 23 minutes over the last two games but could see even more action with Danilo Gallinari out of commission with a groin issue. The 28-year-old has been extra-active offensively as well, combining for 25 shot attempts in addition to going 6-for-10 from downtown during that same span. Though he isn’t a sure thing, his ceiling is higher than usual due to his added responsibilities, leaving him with the potential to smash his value by far against his former team. Check him out if you are in a pinch for cash.

FanDuel DFS Centers

Jonas Valanciunas - C, @ LAC ($8,500)

Valanciunas was extraordinary against the Suns on Saturday night, finishing things up with 34 points, 20 rebounds, two steals, and two blocks for a whopping 74.5 fantasy points. The former Toronto middle man has been making the most of his time in Memphis and has eclipsed at least 41.3 fantasy points in each of his last five outings. He will also be going up against the Clippers, who are also the second-worst team in the league against opposing big men on the year, allowing 61.87 fantasy points to that position. Though it isn’t a foregone conclusion that Mike Conley will be out, there is a chance that he won’t be in the lineup for the second of the team’s back-to-back, leaving the big man with some extra looks on the offensive end.
