DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/19/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a nice fat slate of eight games tonight and all are set up to be good games. Most of the teams playing tonight are in similar situations, whether it's fighting for seeding or just to salvage as many wins as possible, there should be minimal amount of blowouts and ALL of these teams can be exposed. Looking at the games to stack, it's easy to pinpoint the higher scoring games, but games like the Heat-Nuggets have the potential to be a seriously hard fought and productive game.

The Bulls-Knicks game has value scattered throughout, but since players across the league like Denzel Valentine and Taurean Prince are dropping near 40-point games, you can literally take your chances on anyone. These players are developing and players that have been getting minutes all season have a competitive advantage. Look for players like David Nwaba, Antonio Blakeney, Trey Burke and Luke Kornet to exceed their projected tonight. If you are looking for the superstars that should have big games, look for Kemba Walker, Nikola Jokic, Ben Simmons and LeBron James are going to be your friends tonight.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 3/19/18. 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 @HalfCourtJester, let's get rolling.

DraftKings DFS Guards

Frank Ntilikina - PG/SG, vs CHI ($3,700)

All the minutes fans and owners wanted Frank Ntilikina getting earlier in the year are finally building up, which will be leading to more productive nights. The Knicks had to fight over their inner demons after Kristaps Porzingis went down, deciding what direction they wanted to take the team. While it took WAY to long to decide to develop players, Ntilikina is finally out of that inconsistency window. 20 minutes in his last game isn't the best indicator, but he manages to produce given extended minutes and it seems 20 minutes is enough. Going forward Ntilikina will get plenty of run, but he's still a second unit player and that caps his ceiling at around 25 FPTS.

Joe Harris - SG/SF, vs MEM ($3,800)

Joe Harris has somewhat fallen off the fantasy radar, all while creeping into the starting lineup. His price is hard to pass up given his guaranteed minutes, not to mention the upside he has being a talented shooter that gets more than enough chances each night. There are players on each team that ALWAYS have the green light because of their ability to catch fire after just a few made shots. The Grizzlies are too young of a team to be able to limit teams, so look for Harris to get his opportunities early.

 

DraftKings DFS Forwards

Paul Millsap - PF/C, at MIA ($5,700)

It's unfortunate the Nuggets are closer to playoff contention, but it won't change them from trying to win out the rest of the season. Paul Millsap should be a big part of this team, but it seems his role is limited to defense, low-post offense, spacing and rebounding. This isn't the best mixture for fantasy production, but it does give him nights where he will be able to play to his strengths. Especially against the Heat who lack experienced frontcourt defense outside of Hassan Whiteside's athleticism.

Denzel Valentine - SF/PF, at NYK ($5,700)

Don't you hate when you talk-down a player and than they either prove yuo wrong or you have to play them? Well this is me and Denzel Valentine. There is NO reason Valentine isn't a great pick every night, he just isn't guaranteed production. His performances earlier in the season have more than enough evidence why Valentine will post a dud tonight, but there is more in his hot shooting and improved usage recently. Valentine is ALWAYS a tough pick to make, but the Bulls are giving him the ball way too much not to benefit from his improved play.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

Trevor Booker - PF/C, vs LAL ($3,400)

Trevor Booker has plenty of productive minutes left in him, especially in the Pacers frontcourt. They lack a true rebounding presence that attacks offensive rebounds, giving him all the space and room he needs to play his style. The price obviously comes with risk, but Booker is one of those players that can't help but find ways to get his stats and produce. The Lakers rank 27th against opposing centers so it shouldn't be hard for Booker to find a groove.
