Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/16/18 Welcome to NBA Friday! With March Madness in full swing, you may have trouble keeping up with the NBA. We’re here for you. The NBA gave us a 9-gamer on a random Thursday last night, so we’re now getting a measly 6-game Friday slate. 6 games is actually a sweet spot, but we’re just used to 10+ games on Friday. There isn’t any 1 game that stands far above the rest and we do have a lot of interesting situations to address.

Point guard Goran Dragic FD - $6700 DK - $7500Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 35.01 DK - 36.5 Let’s kick it off with Goran Dragic and the Miami Heat. Over 30 minutes in 4 of the last 5, he’s as safe as you can get at the position. He’s always productive when on the floor and has posted a 1.21 fantasy point per minute on the year. He draws a match-up against the Lakers and Lonzo Ball/Isaiah Thomas, who rank 23rd against point guards. Dragic is the leader of this offense and will always come through one way or another. The match-up is easy and the price is great. Dragic will be a lock in my cash games and most tournaments. Let’s keep it movin’. De'Aaron Fox FD - $5900 DK - $5400Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 27.22 DK - 27.6 De’ Aaron Fox has been great since returning from injury and there’s no reason not to think he’s fully healthy. Especially after watching that last game against the Heat, where he willed the team to OT and an eventual W. In the 3 games since his return, he’s played 30,33, and 35 minutes. Those games resulted in 25, 29, and 35 fantasy points. Sounds great to me when you consider they are all worse match-ups than tonight. Against a Curry and Klay-less Warriors team, he’ll see Quinn Cook and Livingston on defense. Livingston is fine, but he doesn’t play many minutes and will be needed elsewhere is KD ends up missing. Fox is still too cheap on both sites and can be played in either format. He will have to be a reason this game stays close and Vegas doesn’t think it gets out of hand with just a 12 point spread.

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Larry Nance Jr. has been ruled out against the Trail Blazers With Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson ruled out for the recent future, this puts them very short-handed. Against a Blazers team with some decent frontcourt options, it won't be easy. Jeff Green can be locked into 30+ minutes and he's an excellent option in all formats. Ante Zizic will probably see 205+ minutes as well and has to be considered a top play. The rest of the minutes will go to the guards when the Cavs play small and put LeBron at the 4 against Aminu. As always, lock him in for 35+ minutes and 55 fantasy points. He's just not easy to afford. a href="https://fantasyfactor.com/fantasy/#/signup/dfsrNFL50free"> What We're Waiting to Know Devin Booker is questionable with a hand injury Booker plays a ton of minutes each night, so there are some spots to look at. On the surface, the Suns are eager to get Josh Jackson on the court and he would grab the start. Davon Reed and Shaquille Harrison will also see some extra run, but I feel no need to play either against the Jazz. T.J. Warren will pick up some usage and can be played in cash games, but I won't be going out of my way. Jackson would be my favorite of the bunch if Booker does miss. Tim Hardaway Jr. is questionable to play against the 76ers Hardaway Jr. has been grabbing some huge minutes for this Knicks team, so his absence could mean a lot. Courtney Lee has been out for a while, but he's played 15 and 19 minutes over the last 2 and could see close to 30 tonight. At the minimum price, I might take a few shots. It would also solidify the minutes of Ntilikina and Burke, who could grab a few minutes at the 2 while Mudiay is at the 1. Mudiay, Ntilikina, and then Lee would be my favorites if THJ is eventually ruled out. Every Lineup Guys Ante Zizic FD - $3500 DK - $3500 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 16.73 DK - 15.98 I don't know if anyone will be able to lock this guy in without wincing, but you really shouldn't.

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/15/18 Welcome to NBA Thursday! We're usually looking at just 3 or 4 games on these nights, but the NBA has blessed us with 9 tonight. There are a bunch of ways to pay up and it's important to find the right value spots. Do we go James Harden, LeBron James, or Anthony Davis? Let's dive in and take a look at the top plays at each position. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA optimizer and our new player lab!

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Damian Lillard FD - $9600 DK - $9600Opponent - CLEProj Pts FD - 46.74 DK - 48.78 Welcome to NBA Thursday! The NBA decided to switch things up this week and gave us a small slate on Wednesday and a huge one tonight. We haven't seen a Thursday slate this big in quite some time, but we're definitely not complaining. We'll open things up with one of the more exciting games of the slate. Portland and Lillard will host LBJ and the Cavs with a 222 over/under and just a five-point spread. We know Lillard prefers playing at home and he gets up for these big games. Cleveland ranks 25th against the PG position and haven't gotten any better with the addition of George Hill. Lillard has been downright phenomenal as of late, putting up 40+ fantasy points in seven of the last eight games and 50+ in four of them. He's still below $10k on both sites and can be played in every format. Kyle Lowry FD - $7300 DK - $7700Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 35.34 DK - 36.79 If you're needing 35+ fantasy points and can't afford the pricey Damian Lillard, Kyle Lowry is a phenomenal pivot. He's in the mid-$7k's on both sites and is always one of the safest plays on the entire slate. He'll see both Cory Joseph and Darren Collison on defense and neither are all that scary. They've been a lot worse over the last 20 games against PG's than on the season and it probably has to do with the uptick in minutes for Joseph. Lowry is a bulldog and a lot stronger than both of those guys. He's going to put up 35 fantasy points with ease and can get to 50 if the game stays close. Lowry will never kill you in cash games.

Get started for free by clicking the button below. Where do we begin? With Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green all out, the Warriors are wide open tonight. The same can be said for the Celtics with Kyrie, Horford, and Jaylen Brown. While we have just 4 games on this slate, there is plenty of news to look at. Let's jump in! START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! First time with NBA or NFL? Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. What We Know Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson are out against the Lakers It looks like two teams have decided to a day off tonight. As for the Warriors, the only remaining member of the big 4 is Kevin Durant. He's obviously in play and one of the top plays on the entire slate. At guard, the optimizer has Livingston at 25, Cook at 30, and Young at 28. Give or take 4-5 on each of those guys, but they don't have any other option but to play big minutes. At forward, Iguodala and Casspi are projected to see over 30 minutes and Looney + Bell are each projected in the low/mid-20's. Personally, I'll have Durant in every lineup and 1 or 2 value guys from this squad. Casspi is my favorite with Bell and Cook following. You can't be faulted for playing any of these guys if you think the script leans their way. Kyrie Irving, Al Horford, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, and Daniel Theis are all out against the Wizards Lots to look at here. At guard, Larkin, Rozier, and Nader are the only guys there. Nader is only expected to see 15-20 minutes, so I'm fine ignoring him with Nick Young available. Instead, Larkin and Rozier are two of the best plays on the team. Rozier has been stretched close to 40 minutes plenty and I don't see why he wouldn't be tonight. as well Marcus Morris and Jayson Tatum are both locked into 30+ minutes and are some more of my favorite plays on this tiny slate. At center, Aron Baynes and Greg Monroe will split minutes. Monroe is more effective per minute, but I have a sneaky suspicion that Banes sees more. Personally, I'm all over Rozier and Tatum. I think they step up without Kyrie and are the two drivers of this offense. Shane Larkin and Marcus Morris are concrete studs as...

The NBA has shaken things up with just 4 games tonight. There’s still a lot to look at and a few spots worth capitalizing on. With Kyrie Irving out, Terry Rozier is going to be one of the more popular plays on the entire slate. Already seeing around 30 minutes in most games, Rozier could very easily get to 40 minutes. He’s a dynamic player when on the floor and I see no reason why he can’t maintain the 1.21 fantasy points per minute he has on the year. The Wizards and Satoransky rank 20th against PG’s over the last 20 games and are far from anything to be scared of. Rozier stuffs the stat sheet like no other and is so, so safe because of it. His price is already up there a little bit, but 40-50 tonight is most definitely in the books. As of now, you won’t find a lineup of mine without Rozier. Lonzo Ball FD - $7300 DK - $7600 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 36.31 DK - 36.42 There’s no evidence the Lakers go anywhere other than the 6-7 man rotation tonight. We did see them play huge minutes in Denver last night, so it’s definitely something you’ll want to pay attention to as the day progresses. Facing a Warriors team without Curry, Draymond, and possibly Klay, they will have the chance to stay in the game. As for these 2 point guards, it’s hard to say which one is liked more. Lonzo is on the court all game and is going to consistently put up numbers. He’s far from reliant on any 1 stat and will rarely disappoint in a fast-paced match-up. Ball ran 41 minutes last night against Denver with a five-point, nine rebound, eight assist line with steals and blocks thrown in. If the scoring rounds out even a little, his upside is tremendous in a game the Lakers should be able to keep close. Quinn Cook FD - $3500 DK - $3300 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 14.14 DK - 15.94 If you need to pay down, you can do...
