DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/7/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a seven game NBA slate to get us through this hump day and there are some interesting options across the board. Not a ton of injuries as of right now, so lineup construction should be pretty straight forward, which could make it difficult to get some of the bigger name players into the same lineup. […]

Justin Holiday Will Start Against Memphis

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Justin Holiday will draw the start against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. The NBA issued a warning to the Bulls regarding resting healthy players.

Wesley Matthews is Out on Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hip) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This will be the second game in a row that Matthews has missed.
