DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (3/2/16): NBA DFS Advice

By Keith Allison [CC-BY-SA-2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons

I know it's a little late, but wow that Warriors/Thunder game was insane! That was one of the best games I've ever seen in my life, and it shows just what a machine Stephen Curry really is.

Okay, so back to business. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for DraftKings on 3/2/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays on DraftKings.

Without wasting anymore time, let's get down to it. Good luck RotoBallers!

DraftKings DFS Guards

James Harden (vs NO, $10,400)

It’s tough to avoid Russell Westbrook tonight, but James Harden is also a great option. Harden significantly cheaper, and he has bee on fire recently, as he’s averaging 33.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 2.4 steals per game over the last 10 days. He has also dominated the Pelicans this season, as he’s averaging 53.9 fantasy points in three games. This game should be fast paced and high scoring, which will give Harden plenty of upside. He can be used in all leagues.

Will Barton (vs LAL, $6,000)

Anyone that used Barton in his last game will likely still be angry tonight, as he flopped with only 21 fantasy points. He still makes a great option, as he’s locked into huge minutes and a big offensive role with Danilo Gallinari injured. Barton gets a great matchup against the Lakers, who have one of the worst defenses in the NBA and have been allowing an extremely high amount of points each night. Even though he struggled in his last game, Barton can be used in all leagues.

Eric Gordon (at HOU, $5,100)

Gordon returned the other night and scored 44.25 fantasy points in 34 minutes against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He took a total of 17 shots, and he’ll likely be shooting as much as he wants again tonight. He has never been shy to shoot from anywhere on the court, which gives him tremendous upside. Expectations should be lowered a bit, though, as Anthony Davis is likely to return tonight. Still, Gordon gets a great matchup against a fast paced Houston team, and he’s a great GPP option tonight.

 

DraftKings DFS Forwards

Giannis Antetokounmpo (vs IND, $7,900)

Alphabet has been on fire recently, as he’s averaging 17.3 points, 12.0 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 2.0 blocks, and 1.5 steals per game over the last 10 days. He has scored 69.75 and 75.0 fantasy points in two of his last four games, and it seems as if he has finally learned that he’s a triple double threat every night. The Pacers have been playing at a faster pace this season, which will help Alphabet, as he has the ability to score in each of the five categories. He can be used in all leagues tonight.

Marvin Williams (at PHI, $6,000)

Williams has really been playing well recently, and he’s going to get an easy matchup against the Sixers tonight. Marvin Williams has been playing around 30 minutes per game, and that trend will likely continue tonight. The Sixers have really struggled against all positions this season, and Williams has great double double upside. He hasn’t been risky recently either, and he can be used in all leagues until he cools off.

Darrell Arthur (vs LAL, $3,900)

It’s clear that the Nuggets will be giving Arthur minutes because of the Danilo Gallinari injury, and his price hasn’t caught up to his production recently. He has scored 20.5, 28.5, and 31.75 fantasy points in three of his last four games. Gallinari was injured for two of those games, and Arthur is an easy pick to hit value tonight. He gets a great matchup against the Lakers, who have been one of the worst defenses in the NBA this season, and Arthur can be used in all leagues tonight.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

Dwight Howard (vs NO, $7,600)

Howard seems to be an easy play at center every night, although his price is starting to get a bit high. He’s consistently exceeding value, and he gets a great matchup against the Pelicans tonight, who have been one of the worst teams in the NBA against the center this season. Howard should have no problems dominating the paint, and he’s a great option in all leagues tonight.
