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

We have a nine game NBA slate to get us through this hump day and there are some interesting options across the board. Not a ton of injuries as of right now, so lineup construction should be pretty straight forward, which could make it difficult to get some of the bigger name players into the same lineup.

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

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 @DFS_Tom, let's get rolling.

DraftKings DFS Guards

Dejounte Murray - SA vs LAL (DK - $6,300)

Murray is on a hot streak right now, and up against the Lakers, putting him in a great spot tonight. He has 40 DraftKings points or more in two straight games, and is now up against the Lakers who are giving up 48 DK points per game to point guards. This will be a pace up spot for Murray, making him a great cash game option for tonight. Murray has a 25% usage rate and averaging 1.10 fantasy points per minute. With LaMarcus Aldridge being listed as doubtful for this game, he is in a spot to have higher usage, which is always great.

Gary Harris - DEN @ CLE (DK - $6,200)

Harris has scored 33 DraftKings points or more in three of his last four games, and is up against the Cavaliers, who are giving up 42 DK points per game to shooting guards. This game has an over-under set at 228 points, so there is a ton of points to go around and doing a bit of a game stack isn't a bad idea. Harris has a usage rate sitting at 22%, while averaging 0.87 fantasy points per minute. Harris has great ability to hit the three ball, so has great tournament upside if he is able to get hot from the field.

 

DraftKings DFS Forwards

Jaylen Brown - SF, BOS @ HOU (DK - $5,600)

Brown and the Celtics will be playing in a bit of a pace up spot against the Rockets, meaning extra possessions for them. This game has an over-under 216 points, so a good amount of offense to Brown should be apart of. He has scored 25 or more DraftKings points in three straight games, and has a 21% usage rate. He has also taken 11 or more field goal attempts in two of his last three games, so becoming a bigger part of the offense, which can only boost his fantasy value.

Jarell Martin - PF, MEM @ ORL (DK - $4,700)

Martin offers a bit of salary relief on this full slate, which is never a bad thing on a slate this size. He is up against the Magic, who are giving up 48 DK points per game to power forwards. This is a bit of a pace up spot for the Grizzles, so extra possessions means more time to rack up points. Martin has 26 or more fantasy points in two straight games, which has exceed 5x value in both of those games. Not a bad option for cash games, since he can contribute in multiple stat categories.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

Rudy Gobert - C, UTA @ SAC (DK - $7,400)

Really like this spot for Gobert tonight, and with his double-double upside, he is viable for all formats. Gobert and the Jazz are up against the Kings, who are giving up 53 DraftKings points per game to centers. He has scored 31 or more DK points in eight of his last 10 games, and is looking to be a great option at center tonight. He is averaging over one fantasy point per minute, has eight double-doubles in his last 10 games, and truly isn't that expensive. His price is easy to get up to with some of the value on the slate, and should be a nice late night boost to your lineup.
