Happy Sunday everyone, I hope everyone is having a fantastic day. Hopefully, it will get even better after winning some cash in FanDuel DFS. A lot of good games today that are projected to be high-scoring and fast-paced. Philly/Milwaukee, New Orleans/Dallas, Brooklyn/Los Angeles and Charlotte/Toronto are all projected to have a pace of at least 102, which is not bad.
Below you will find our daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 3/4/18. These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options, to lower-priced players and value picks on FanDuel. You can also read more DFS lineup picks for DraftKings and other sports too.
If I sucked with my picks, let me know about it @Den_Clausen. If I did well, I’d like to know that too. Good luck and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
FanDuel DFS Guards
DeMar DeRozan - SG, vs. CHA ($8,200)
$8,200 for DeMar DeRozan? I’m sold. DeRozan is having arguably the best season of his career and though he does have some off nights, they aren’t significant enough to justify his price being this low. Take advantage of the bargain price.
Dennis Smith Jr. - PG, vs Dal ($6,200)
Smith played well against the Bulls a few nights ago, dropping 25 points on a team that is in the midst of a complete overhaul. Though Dallas is in the same position and looking to get themselves a quality draft pick, Smith has something to play for as he still has a slight chance of capturing the Rookie of the Year award. He will make a fine addition to DFS rosters on Sunday.
Other FanDuel DFS Guards to Consider: Victor Oladipo, D'Angelo Russell, Allen Crabbe, Khris Middleton, Spencer Dinwiddie, Devin Booker, Tim Hardaway Jr., Kyle Lowry
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Ben Simmons - PF, @ MIL ($9,000)
Simmons’ stock has been trending upward after he cooled off for a few months. For all the “bulls” who were waiting for sunny days after a brief rainy period, investors are finally getting what they expected from him, especially those who bought-low on him in recent DFS contests. With a game pace that is projected to be over 100, expected Simmons’ to have plenty of time to put up a good amount of fantasy points, especially if he is guarded by Eric Bledsoe, who is sporting an unimpressive defensive rating of around 107.
Tobias Harris - PF, vs. BKN ($7,700)
Just like DeMar DeRozan, Tobias Harris is also undervalued. At that asking price, he would need to hit 38.5 fantasy points in order to hit the five times value mark, something that is easily attainable against Brooklyn . Unlike Blake Griffin, Harris has improved since joining his new team and has benefited from the speedy play of the Clippers.
Other FanDuel DFS Forwards to Consider: Michael Beasley, DeMarre Carroll, Serge Ibaka, Otto Porter Jr.
FanDuel DFS Centers
DeAndre Jordan - C, vs. BKN ($7,900)
Though the Nets had been a little more stable in the middle with the emergence of Jarrett Allen, things are reverting back to normal underneath with the return of the undersized Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. Though Jordan isn’t always a pleasure to watch on the offensive end of things, he is always a monster on the glass, averaging 15 boards per game, only .8 rebounds behind Andre Drummond. As fast-paced and high-scoring as this game will be, it is likely he will walk away with a convincing double-double by the time this thing is over with.
