Not sure how we are going to be able handle this hefty five game slate but I think we'll manage. Luckily Fortnite put out new challenges that i'll steadily be knocking out all day while checking the Twittersphere for injury updates so feel free to bother me for suggestions, questions or just casual NBA banter.
There are not many important games on the schedule so we'll need to base the picks off of matchup and personnel. The Thunder and Spurs are still fighting for playoff position but also raises the possibility of a defensive slugfest. There is not much to look forward tomorrow night although it will be another interesting night in the NBA. If you are looking for superstars to play, consider: Lou Williams, Kemba Walker, LeBron James, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Julius Randle.
Below you will find our daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 3/29/18. These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options, to lower-priced players and value picks on FanDuel.
FanDuel DFS Guards
Frank Mason - PG, vs SAC ($4,000)
Frank Mason didn't have the best run last game but that doesn't change his value against the Pacers. The Pacers offer up a stingy backcourt, but Indiana is also firmly in playoff position. The chances they put out a playoff effort versus the Kings is unlikely and Mason has been consistent for production even when he isn't scoring. If a player score less than 10 points in a game and still hit around 25 FPTS, they offer enough versatility to get nightly consideration. De'Aaron Fox is still running the point in Sacramento but Mason is absolutely on the up and up and his fantasy production is tonight.
Dwyane Wade - SG, vs. CHI ($5,300)
Dwyane Wade doesn't offer much value from a distance, but his past two games resemble the start of a hot streak. The entire eastern conference playoff picture is secured and the Heat are a part of that. While they might be fighting for seeding, players like James Johnson and Dwyane Wade have been playing at a higher level lately. Wade is returning to Chicago and while the Bulls don't defend well against opposing forwards, Wade is coming off his highest usage game of the season.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Rudy Gay - SF, vs. OKC ($4,000)
Rostering Spurs players are always a challenge, but Rudy Gay's consistency is extremely welcoming. If Gay doesn't score, which is rare, he manages to produce in other ways. Whether it's through playmaking or rebounding, Gay assumes multiple roles in the Spurs and excels in limited minutes. As a veteran, it's unclear whether he will get more or less run against a potential postseason opponent, but he will get minutes regardless.
Jordan Bell - PF, vs. MIL ($4,700)
Since the Warriors are basically without their superstars until playoff time, there is no reason to fade Jordan Bell. He fills a much needed void without Kevin Durant or Draymond Green in the linuep, and even if they return he should see extra minutes as a key role player. He fills the stat sheet and his hustle stats translate directly to fantasy gold. His production is all over the place but playing the Bucks fits right into where Bell can have the greatest impact, rebounding and spacing the floor.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Kosta Koufus - C, vs. IND ($3,900)
While Kosta Koufus is still cooling down from his 55 FPT explosion two games ago, it's clear he does not need the minutes to be a useful sleeper pick. The Pacers don't have the strongest frontcourt and Koufus is the type of player inexperienced frontcourts hate to face. Koufus minutes are about as predictable as anything involving the Sacramento Kings this season, so while Koufus should get the minutes, there is always a chance he could be capped at 20 minutes. The Kings have so many options spread out, this pick carries a decent amount of risk but the payoff has incredible potential.
