Back-to-back nights where the schedule is pretty much the opposite of attractive. There are a number of teams that played last night and an even greater number with injury concerns, so it'll be important to monitor injury and scratch news throughout the day.

As of this morning, there are still a number of games that Vegas has not posted a spread or an over/under for, which likely has something to do with the back-to-backs and injury concerns I mentioned above. The most attractive games of the slate, from an over perspective, are Nets at Cavs (211), Nuggets at Pelicans (210), and the best of the bunch - Celtics at Blazers (214).

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 3/31/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays on FanDuel.

FanDuel DFS Guards

Damian Lillard (vs BOS, $8,300)

While the Celtics play above-average team defense, I still like Lillard tonight as the style and pace of play certainly suits him well. Lillard has been middling in mediocrity over the past week of play, and in that time his salary has dropped $1,300, putting him in the bargain category tonight. The time is right to get a fringe-elite offensive point guard at a sub-9K price tag. This game also features the highest projected point total of the night.

Shane Larkin (at CLE, $3,900)

As far as value plays go, I'm not sure there is a better one tonight - at any position - than Shane Larkin. The former Hurricane is a complete steal at this price, as his salary has not caught up with his recent performance. He has exceeded his price implied value in each of his last six games, twice going for more than 10 points over the implied total. His matchup tonight is a great one, as Cleveland doesn't have much success in slowing down opposing point guards.

James Harden (vs CHI, $10,900)

With the money I'm saving on a cheaper-than-usual Lillard and the bargain that is Larkin, I'm happy to pony up the cash for Harden tonight as Chicago has been an absolute mess defensively. The contest should be a high scoring affair and with Jimmy Butler ailing, Harden should be able to score at will. Harden has also been playing much better offensively of late, exceeding value in seven of the Rockets' last 10 games, by an impressive average of 7.46 points a night.

Also Consider: Isaiah Thomas (at POR, $7,800)

FanDuel DFS Forwards

There are two simultaneous themes here with my forward selections - one of which is finding value plays, and the other is that I'm fading the superstars tonight (Kevin Durant and LeBron James are both questionable to play).

Evan Turner (at POR, $5,900)

Outside of a dud his last time out on a 2-8 shooting performance against the Clippers, Turner has been a model of consistency these past few weeks. Turner has been a key cog in Brad Stevens' rotations, averaging roughly 32 minutes per night and in his last 10 games, Turner has exceeded value sixty percent of the time, by an average of 3.08 points per game. His opponent tonight, the Blazers, do an okay job defensively against small forwards, so I'm leaning on the fact this should be a high-scoring, close contest and Turner should benefit from that.

Michael Beasley (vs CHI, $5,000)

This pick comes with a bit of risk attached to it, so breeze past this advice if you're strictly playing cash games tonight. If you're a tournament guy like myself, I think you need to consider Beasley tonight. I'm not sure anyone could have predicted this, but Beasley has been playing great in a Rockets' uniform. he has exceeded value in seven of his lat 10 games, by an impressive average of more than seven points per contest. His price is rising but at 5K, he's still a real bargain and what makes him more appealing is that the Bulls struggle in containing opposing small forwards. Chicago could also be without a number of starters tonight, which opens things up even more for Beasley.

Value Plays: Jordan Hamilton (vs DEN, $3,600) and Maurice Harkless (vs BOS, $4,000)

FanDuel DFS Centers

Ian Mahinmi (vs ORL, $5,200)

I'm going to pick on the Orlando interior defense - or lack thereof - as they allow the most fantasy points to opposing centers of any team in action tonight. What makes the matchup even more appealing is that Orlando center Nikola Vucevic is questionable to play tonight, which should really open things up for Mahinmi. Relatively speaking, Ian has been playing exceptionally well of late, averaging more than 33 fantasy points in roughly 30 minutes of action over his last three games.

Also Consider: Kelly Olynyk (at POR, $3,900)
