We're back to an extremely small Sunday slate, which is generally the case. There are only three games, meaning we'll have to dig for some value. It is far from the best NBA slate on the season, but it's all we have tonight.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings 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 DraftKings. Feel free to stop by the Hoops Chat Room or on Twitter @BalesSJustin, let's get rolling.

DraftKings DFS Guards
Jrue Holiday - PG/SG, vs BOS ($7,900)
Simply put, Holiday's price tag is absurd tonight. He has scored 45+ DK points in seven of his last eight games, including two games with 55+ DK points. Over the last 10 days, he is averaging 18.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1.7 blocks, and 1.7 steals per game. He played well in his only matchup against the Boston Celtics, and Holiday is nearly a must start tonight.
Jeff Teague - PG, vs HOU ($5,900)
Teague is another player that is entirely too cheap tonight. He has scored 29+ DK points in 10 consecutive games. He has also flashed 50+ DK point upside over that span, as well. He gets a good matchup against the Houston Rockets, who Teague is averaging 16.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 5.0 assists against this season. He is relatively cheap for the smaller slate, and Teague can be used in all leagues tonight.
DraftKings DFS Forwards
Anthony Davis - PF/C, vs BOS ($11,400)
Davis could go slightly lower owned t0night because of his recent games. He has scored 46.25 and 44 DK points in their last two games, but he is still averaging a 24.0/11.4/2.0/4.6/1.4 line over the last 10 days. He also gets an elite matchup against the Boston Celtics, who are a team that is known to struggle against talented big men. In their only matchup, Davis scored 45 points with 16 rebounds, two assists, two blocks, and one steal against Boston. He's an elite option tonight.
Nemanja Bjelica - SF/PF, vs HOU ($5,600)
Bjelica is coming off a terrible game, which has caused his price tag to drop tonight. With that being said, he has been playing at an extremely high level recently, as he is averaging 16.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.0 steal per game over the last 10 days. He has also scored 41.5, 34.75, and 51.5 DK points in three of his last four games. Bjelica is also averaging slightly under 1.0 DK points per minute against the Rockets this season, and he is locked into minutes in the high-30s or low-40s. Bjelica makes a solid option in all leagues.
DraftKings DFS Centers
DeAndre Jordan - C, vs POR ($7,700)
Jordan isn't a huge part of the Clippers offense, but he is averaging 15.4 points, 19.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.0 block in 34.2 minutes per game over the last 10 days. He has also recorded 18+ DK points in six consecutive games. He gets a solid matchup against the Portland Blazers, who he is averaging a 7.5/18.5/1.5/2.0 line against this season. Jordan isn't the safest option, but he can be considered in all leagues because of the slate.
