NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 3/2/16

By Keith Allison [CC-BY-SA-2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons

Kevin Luchansky highlights the top NBA DFS lineup picks for 3/2/16, as well as a couple of sleepers to keep in mind while building your roster on FanDuel.

It's an 11-game Wednesday and we've got quite the spectrum of games to target. On the one hand, we've got a bunch of games with incredibly high projected totals - ideal for cash games and finding GPP sleepers - and a few on the other that have projected totals sub-200.

The games I'm most interested in targeting are Blazers at Celtics (219), Wizards at Timberwolves (220), Lakers at Nuggets (212), and Thunder at Clippers (220.5).

Let's get to it, shall we?

FanDuel DFS Guards

Mike Conley (vs SAC, $6,800)

He hasn't done it all that consistently, but since the trade deadline and injuries to a few of his Memphis teammates, Conley has shown flashes that he can put up GPP type numbers in his increased offensive role. Dollar for dollar, I think he's the best option at PG tonight and I don't think he'll run into trouble hitting and exceeding value against the Kings sub-par defense.

Will Barton (vs LAL, $6,000)

The Baltimore product has been like that of a thrill ride recently, alternating 30+ fantasy point nights with numbers down in the teens, despite always playing consistent minutes in the Denver offense. Tonight, I'm high on Barton for two main reasons - the Lakers and his price tag. This game expects to be high scoring and Barton should have plenty of opportunity to knock down threes against a Laker defense that does a poor job defending the perimeter.

D'Angelo Russell (at DEN, $5,300)

I almost wish he didn't put up such gaudy numbers last night so this could be seen as an under the radar pick. Nonetheless, I can't ignore how improved his game has looked and the fact that he has a pretty ideal matchup tonight with a sub 6K price to boot. In his last 10 games, he's exceeded his price implied value in eight of them, by an impressive average of 8.54 points over. Denver has been very kind to opposing point guards this season, and I also love the fact that D'Angelo is taking 10+ shots in the majority of the Lakers last few games.

Also Consider: Nicolas Batum (at PHI, $6,200) and DeMar DeRozan (vs UTA, $7,700)

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Matt Barnes (vs SAC, $5,200)

I'm not totally confident in Barnes putting up tournament numbers tonight, but I am confident enough in him to put him in my cash game lineups. He's incredibly affordable tonight, which allows me to find space for guys like The Brow and Kevin Durant, and he's been impressive over the past week, exceeding value in three of the Grizzlies' four games. Not only does Sacramento allow a ton of points to opposing small forwards, Barnes and his teammates benefit from the faster pace the Kings operate with, which should give him more opportunities to score the basketball.

Myles Turner (at MIL, $5,400)

Like Barnes, I love the value Turner presents tonight for a guy priced under $6,000. He's been consistently playing close to 30 minutes a game, which creates a solid floor, and in three of his last four games, he's had double digit shot opportunities. His matchup tonight is a great one as Milwaukee allows more points to opposing power forwards than 18 of the 22 teams taking the court on Wednesday. Look for Turner to be able to clean up the glass and get good looks facing the basket.

Anthony Davis (at HOU, $10,200)

Keep an eye on his status closer to tip tonight as he's not 100% expected to play, but I'm fairly confident he'll lace 'em up tonight as he's listed as probable. Thanks to a matchup with Houston and their absent defense, even with a five-figure salary, I consider Davis a bit of a bargain tonight. There isn't anyone on the Rockets sideline that can stay in front of AD, and I'm expecting big time numbers from him tonight.

Also Consider: Kevin Durant (at LAC, $10,600)

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

Nikola Vucevic (vs CHI, $8,100)

Even despite the $300 increase in salary over the past 10 days, I still think Vuc provides the best combination of high floor and great value. The departure of Tobias Harris has really opened the post for him to roam and create more open looks near the basket. and as a result, he's put up tournament type numbers recently. Tonight, his matchup is a relatively ideal one against a banged up Chicago front-court as the focal point of the Magic offense.

Also Consider: DeAndre Jordan (vs OKC, $7,900)
