DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/20/18): NBA DFS Lineups

With seven games tonight, you have no limit when it comes to strategy. There's value spread out, not to mention enticing matchups for some of the top superstars. The Celtics-Thunder matchup could be a defensive slugfest, so look to stack the Timberwolves-Clippers and Trail Blazers-Rockets games. While the Jazz and Hawks seem like they should be avoided on paper, look for Donovan Mitchell, Ricky Rubio and Joe Ingles to do most of the work.

The superstars you have to consider tonight are C.J. McCollum, Jeff Teague, Andrew Wiggins, Blake Griffin, and Paul George. All those players have upside and a fairly low price tag. Combined with the amount of mid-top tier level talent available, you do not need to spend up. There are very solid options and I've conjured up a few confident lineups with my most expensive player below 8K.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 3/20/18. 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

Dennis Schroder - PG/SG, at UTA ($5,900)

It's very unfortunate that 1.) The Hawks are very bad this season. 2.) Dennis Schroder had that period where he didn't play in the 4th quarter, and 3.) It seems there's no guarantee Schroder will receive a full workload that includes 4th quarter minutes. He should play, there's no reason he suggesting he should be rested. While Schroder is on the latter half of his development, he still needs to learn to win and most importantly, learn how to stay composed in the late stages of the game. While this game might not be the closest game, Schroder should get all the opportunities to produce.

Milos Teodisic - PG/SG, at MIN ($4,200)

You could roll with Milos Teodisic or Lou Williams here. It doesn't matter since both are up against beneficial matchups, so feel free to run with both if you life. Both will be able to play to their own strengths and have been for some time regardless of the matchup. Of course Teodisic isn't the most athletic option so a capable defender could limit him, but the way he plays and how the Clippers use him, the ball will be in his hands more than enough times for him to be a productive option.

DraftKings DFS Forwards

Darius Miller - SF/PF, vs DAL ($3,300)

Darius Miller is due for a big game. The Mavericks are lacking defensive depth so the chances Miller is left open most of the game is highly likely. The Pelicans are still fighting for a playoff spot, and this is going to be a key home game for New Orleans. Luckily, role players shoot better at home, which is the case for Miller. Believe it or not, Miller has actually hit just as many shots at home compared to being on the road. While that's just a fun tid-bit stat, the Mavericks ranks in the top ten against opposing shooting guards, but luckily they should disperse their defensive efforts away from Miller and towards ore impactful guards like Rajon Rondo and Jrue Holiday.

Dewayne Dedmon - SF/PF, at UTA ($4,800)

Most players should be scared away by the Hawks going up against a surging Utah team, but Dewayne Dedmon's experience gives him upside. The Hawks struggle to generate consistency anywhere on the court, but that's where Dedmon helps the most. He's easily their most consistent player and tonight he should be able to do whatever he wants, including getting shots off. It's nothing against Gobert, but it's more than Dedmon is talented on both sides of the ball, not to mention the amount of looks he gets from the rest of his teammates make him an ideal DFS pick for tonight.

DraftKings DFS Centers

Karl-Anthony Towns - PF/C, vs LAC ($9,500)

You have two options at center, Anthony Davis or Karl-Anthony Towns. It's hard enough fading Davis, but Towns is a perfectly viable option. He's almost 2K cheaper and offers just as much upside. Granted, there is literally no player on the Maverikcs that can hold their own against Davis, but DeAndre Jordan is going to be out on an island the entire game. Towns spaces the defense and is going to bring Jordan out of his defensive comfort zone. Towns should be all over the court tonight, but like I said, the upside is present with both Towns and Davis.
