Welcome back, RotoBallers! I know this is the month where college basketball shines, but tonight we've got a solid 8-game slate, headlined by the TNT doubleheader. These articles focus on the overall best plays, which are typically more suited for cash games. However, some exceptions may apply, depending on the size of the slate.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 3/14/23. Remember to monitor NBA injury news and our awesome new NBA injuries report tool as the slate can completely change before lineups lock.

DraftKings and FanDuel Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander - PG, OKC vs GS ($9,400 DK, $10,500 FD)
After sitting out on Sunday for the 2nd half of a back-to-back, I expect SGA to be all systems go tonight at home. OKC scores 7 more points per game at home compared to on the road, and SGA averages one more rebound and assist per game at home compared to the road. With price in mind, SGA looks like the best expensive guard play to me.
D'Angelo Russell - PG, LAL @ NO ($7,100 DK, $8,100 FD)
The Lakers have been staying afloat without LeBron James, and in the two games he's played since returning from injury, Russell has been a big reason why. He's scored 104.5 fantasy points in 2 games, with scoring totals of 28 & 33. Russell is way underpriced compared to the ceiling he provides, and in a game environment with a total of 232.5, the 2nd highest total on the slate, this is a game I'm very interested in.
Devonte' Graham - PG, SAS vs ORL ($5,000 DK, $5,600 FD)
Tre Jones has already been ruled out due to an illness, and Malakai Branham has been nursing a shoulder injury, leaving Graham as the last man standing on the PG depth chart.
Others to consider: Devin Booker ($10,100 DK, $10,700 FD), Dennis Smith Jr ($5,200 DK, $6,600 FD)

DraftKings and FanDuel Forwards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Giannis Antetokounmpo - PF/C, MIL @ PHX ($12,000 DK, $12,200 FD)
Giannis is again head and shoulders above the other forward options tonight, both in terms of consistency and ceiling. He went off for 46 points and 12 rebounds against the Kings last night, meaning he's posted 69+ DK points in both games of the Bucks' road trip so far. Look for Giannis to once again post big numbers against the team he won his ring against.
Jalen Williams - PF, OKC vs BKN ($7,200 DK, $7,700 FD)
Williams has been one of the more impressive rookies in the league this year, and has only been getting better. He's scored 20+ points in 6 of his last 8 games, and in those 6 games hasn't scored less than 37 fantasy points. Williams is coming off a career-high 10 assists game and is also averaging 22.8 PPG in March so far.
Eugene Omoruyi - PF/C, DET @ WAS ($3,800 DK, N/A FD)
A rare case where a player isn't even available on both sites! The Pistons are extremely banged up, especially at forward. Omoruyi made his 3rd start of the season and scored a career-high 17 points in Monday night's win against the Pacers.
Others to consider: Paolo Banchero ($7,700 DK, $7,800 FD), Herbert Jones - if Brandon Ingram sits ($5,200 DK, $6,600 FD)
DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Nikola Jokic - C, DEN @ TOR ($11,600 DK, $12,200 FD)
After going through a bit of a slump compared to his MVP standard, Jokic has bounced back with 2 straight triple-doubles posting fantasy scores of 77.25 and 87.5. With Jamal Murray on the unlikely side of a questionable tag, I see ample opportunity for Jokic to run the Nuggets' offense again.
Nick Richards - C, CHA vs CLE ($5,000 DK, $6,200 FD)
With rookie center Mark Williams getting injured, Richards has taken his place in the Hornets' starting 5. He's posted fantasy scores of 42.5, 32, and 33.5 in his last 3 games. Richards is a legit double-double threat and has multiple blocks in the 3 games he's started.
Others to consider: Anthony Davis ($10,800 DK, $11,300 FD)
