Going from an 11 game night to a four game night is quite a bummer. Luckily, two of the games looks highly watchable - and more importantly for you, me and the subject of this article - they project to be high scoring.
As of this writing, I haven't seen a line on three of the four games, but I fully expect to see real high numbers for the Kings at Mavericks and Thunder at Warriors. I'm targeting those two games especially. In this article I'll stray away from those games a little thought to try and find some value and, ultimately, ways to differentiate your lineups.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 3/3/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays on FanDuel.

FanDuel DFS Guards
Steph Curry (vs OKC, $11,000)
What Steph has been doing lately is nothing short of remarkable and unlike anything I've ever seen in my lifetime. He's the actual definition of appointment television. Steph sat out last night but indicated he's likely to play tonight against the Thunder. This game will be fast paced, high scoring and the Thunder allow more points to opposing point guards than any other team in action tonight. The price tag is steep, but Steph has both the highest floor and ceiling tonight.
Deron Williams (vs SAC, $5,600)
With all the dough I'm spending on Curry, I need to find a little salary relief in the other point guard slot and Deron fits the description of what I'm looking for - under-priced, performing well lately and strong matchup in a game that'll be high scoring. Deron has exceeded value in six of his last 10 games, by an average of more than five points per contest, and has seen his price climb just $300 in that span.
Dwyane Wade (vs PHX, $7,500)
I said I wanted to get away from the obviously appealing games and both Dwyane Wade and Jrue Holiday have what I need in tournament play. Wade's floor is such that despite having up and down nights over the past two weeks, his down performances still produce fantasy point totals in the mid to high 20s. Tonight, on solid rest, I think Wade will produce on the higher end of his spectrum, taking advantage of Phoenix's young back court and exceeding value with relative ease.
Tournament Play: Jrue Holiday (vs SAN, $7,700)

Chandler Parsons (vs SAC, $6,700)
Parson's is one of the nicer bargains of the evening and has a fairly cushy matchup against the Kings, who allow more points to opposing small forwards than any other team in play tonight. He's been getting a high number of looks lately which helps create a solid floor, and in a fast paced, defense-is-optional contest like this, I like his chances to exceed his salary implied total.
Draymond Green (vs GS, $8,600)
Green's price has fallen $500 in the past 10 days and the time is surely right to roster him before it heads back north, especially as he's played so well in the last two games. His particular position matchup isn't a stellar one tonight, but there aren't many that appeal to me at PF and with his ability to tally numbers in every statistical category, I'll take my chances on Green.
Also Consider: Mirza Teletovic (at MIA, $4,700)
Tournament Play: David Lee (vs SAC, $4,400)
FanDuel DFS Centers
Alex Len (at MIA, $5,300)
While I expect everyone to jump on DeMarcus Cousins in this spot, I'll go with a little salary relief and the hot hand in Alex Len. Len has exceeded value in six of his last 10 games by an incredible impressive margin of 9.88 points a night. This evening, he's not only a bargain, but gets to take on a team that moves at a slower pace and doesn't have a presence down low outside of Whiteside. What I also love about Len is that no other option on the board outside of Cousins has a higher usage rate.
Tournament Play: Hassan Whiteside (vs PHX, $8,600)
