FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/18/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

After a loaded slate on Saturday, the Sunday schedule is a bit of a let down as there are only four games on the day. With only three of those matchups featured in FanDuel contests, things will be a little tricky as one wrong move will likely take you out of contention for some cash in the big contests.

Below you will find our daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 3/18/18. These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options, to lower-priced players and value picks on FanDuel.

Feel free to give me a shout on Twitter @Den_Clausen. Good luck!

FanDuel DFS Guards

Damian Lillard - PG, @ LAC ($9,800)

Lillard has been a monster over these past few months, even more so than normal. Lillard averaged 31.4 points in the month of February, good for second-best in the league behind Anthony Davis. He will be coming off a solid outing against Detroit on Sunday, accumulating 24 points, eight assists, seven boards and three blocks against the Pistons. Playing a back-to-back hasn't impacted him negatively this season either as he is averaging 28.7 points on no days rest.

C.J. McCollum - SG, @ LAC ($7,700)

If you are looking for a nice stack opportunity, look no further than Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum. Though he isn't going to get you Lillard-like numbers, he will be going up against a Clippers team that struggles on the defensive end. Priced at $7,700, he will likely hit five times value with no issues whatsoever, especially if Jusuf Nurkic, who is listed as a game-time decision after tweaking his ankle, isn't able to suit up.

Ian Clark - PG, vs. BOS ($3,700)

Though I am not typically a fan of anyone going up against Boston, with only three games to choose from, you have to dig deep. Outside of the Pelican's starting unit, Ian Clark, Darius Miller and Nikola Mirotic have been heavily relied upon for a team that is sorely missing bench depth. Clark generally plays anywhere from 20-30 minutes, and can come in handy, especially if you need some someone who is capable of accumulating 20-25 fantasy points for only $3,700.

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Nemanja Bjelica - SF, vs. HOU ($6,700)

Bjelica has hit at least 38 fantasy points in three of his last five outings, with him having it rough against San Antonio and Utah during that same span. Though Houston is as efficient as the Spurs and Jazz on the defensive end, the Rockets ability to pick up the pace will allow the Timberwolves to have plenty of scoring chances.

Marcus Morris - PF, @ NOP ($6,300)

With Boston's injury situation, Morris has been forced to pick up a bigger workload. He put up 31 points against the Wizards a few games back and also played decently against the Magic in the Celtic's last game. He is a solid option against a Pelican's team that is mediocre on the defensive end and will gain even more appeal if Kyrie Irving sits once again as he will gain a usage increase of 3.1 percent.

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

Al Horford - C, @ NOP ($6,900)

After taking a few sick days, Horford played well in his comeback game against the magic, finishing the night with 15 points and nine boards. With the team missing a significant portion of the roster due to injuries, including Kyrie Irving who is dealing with a knee issue, Horford has picked up the slack. If Irving misses another one on Sunday, Horford should have another solid outing.
