Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/27/17 Monday hoops, y'all! We have a solid 6 game slate to dig through - a few teams that are normally blowout risks should see their minutes, and several teams that play slow and play solid defense. I think there's still plenty of value to be had here, though, so let's do this like Brutus.

Point Guard George Hill FD - $6100 DK - $5900Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 30.36 DK - 32.39 A simple case of which track record you trust - Hill's season long averages of 28 fantasy points per game, or the recent stumble? Hill's last tilt with the Clippers was a complete disaster, but there are actually a lot of positive signs if you peer back just a little bit further. He shot 17 and 18 times in the two games prior while posting healthy rebounding and assist totals, and we potentially get a little bonus here if Gordon Hayward winds up having to take a night off. What really drives this ranking, though, is the match-up. If you accept Hill as a 28 fantasy point per game guy, it's trivial to give him a few extra points on account of him playing the 3rd best match-up in the entire league for opposing point guards. This looks like a solid (if slight) value that I'd be happy to gobble up for cash game purposes, particularly with how shallow this position appears to be at first glance. Derrick Rose FD - $5900 DK - $5800Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 30.51 DK - 32.31 Rose's minutes had been sort of all over the place, but he managed 36 of them against the Spurs in what wound up being a close game. Vegas hasn't set a line for this game just yet (probably based on the Melo news), but with Detroit's pace I don't foresee a blowout being the average case in this one. If Melo plays I don't think he's nearly as good a value, but the extra shots to go around make a big difference here. It's also worth noting that the Pistons are leaning toward starting Ish Smith again, and while I'm a well documented believer in Ish's ability to run the point, he's an incredible liability on D against...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Chris Paul FD - $8900 DK - $8100 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 43.55 DK - 46.08 Paul and the Clippers will start us off here against the Kings, who have all but lost interest in the 2017 season. The Clippers on the other hand, need to win. With the Thunder and Grizzlies both breathing down their necks, you can bet Rivers will have his stars out there. Paul hasn't had many big games recently, out of convenience. The last 3 games where Paul saw under 35 minutes were huge blowouts, which make sense. He's an older guard with an injury history and will be rested if given the opportunity. While this game does have the potential to turn into a blowout, I don't think it does. The Clippers are enduring the 2nd half of a back to back and the bench is very worn out. I expect Rivers to rely on the starters here for around 35 minutes and Paul to have a big game. While the safety is basically built in, this is one of the best match-ups for his upside. Collison is not a good pick and roll defender, and as we know, Paul is a PNR orchestrator. Paul is the top option at PG, though there are plenty of ways to go. Jrue Holiday FD - $7200 DK - $7200 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 35.06 DK - 37.51 Holiday has taken advantage of the acquisition of DeMarcus Cousins, finishing with 40 fantasy points on a regular basis since his addition. Holiday has done a terrific job of spreading the ball around and feeding the hot hand, which is hard to do with 2 superstars. He has also taken his own lane and done a bit of scoring, with so much attention on the big men. Holiday doesn't come off as a guy with huge upside, but he does have it, scoring over 60 fantasy points on 3 different occasions just this season. The Nuggets are atrocious against point guards and neither Jameer Nelson or Jamal Murray are physical enough to slow down Holiday. They will both be bullied by on-ball screens and be forced to switch on a big man. The Nuggets could struggle...

Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/24/17 Welcome to the daily updates and injury news article. We'll try and update it right up to line-up locks with as much information as comes across our desks. Let's get to it! Last night's picks can be found here, so you can wrap your mind around what you need to be looking at before lineups lock tonight.

What We Know Paul Millsap and Kent Bazemore will remain out tonight sgainst the Bucks This comes as no surprise, as the Hawks have given us a warning that they are being very careful with these 2. They are both extremely pivotal to the team and aren' really needed right now. They will be full go's once the playoffs hit and be playing close to 40 minutes a night in and night out. For now, Taurean Prince, Thabo Sefolosha, and Ersan Ilyasova will benefit. Prince and Ilyasova are out favorite and come in as fantastic plays in both formats. The Bucks are a very average defense and struggle against athletic perimeter players. What we're waiting to know John Wall is a GTD against the Nets with a migraine This is the biggest piece of news on the day and one that will dictate a lot on this slate. If Wall plays, I don't have much interest in this Wizards offense. They will destroy the Nets and I'm worried about guys not seeing regular minutes. If Wall sits, it's a completely different story. Brad Beal becomes a fantastic option in all formats and Otto Porter also gets a bump. Remember, the Wizards picked up Brandon Jennings. He's a pretty good backup and I could see him having a productive game if given the minutes. T.J. Warren is officially questionable, but not expected to play I doubt Warren is hurt to any significant degree. The Suns have made it quite clear by sitting Bledsoe, Knight, and Chandler for the season that they don't want to win. Warren certainly gives them a better chance of winning and they don't mind holding him out with a couple bruises. I doubt they force him against the Celtics, who will likely blow out the Suns anyway. If Warren does play, he's pretty interesting against the Celtics. If Warren misses, I will just stick with Ulis and Booker. Derrick Jones got the...

What We Know Serge Ibaka will face his 1-game suspension tonight Ibaka has been a big piece of this Raptos offense with Lowry out, so DeRozan will see a nice bump in usage for sure. Patrick Patterson should be the main beneficiary in terms of minutes and makes for a pretty interesting play in all formats. Jonas Valunciunas could also see an uptick if the Raptors stay big. What we're waiting to know T.J. Warren is questionable to play against the Nets T.J. Warren has been playing tremendous for the Suns lately, so we will definitely want to keep an eye on this situation. I am completely off of Warren in a season where the Suns could care less about winning. There is a reach chance he sees limited minutes, even if fully active. If Warren is out, Derrick Jones could see big minutes. Devin Booker and Tyler Ulis would also be locked into huge minutes as the backup guards would have to play the 3. Derrick Rose is questionable to play against the Blazers Rose left the arena with a brace and limp last night, so who really knows what's going on here. If Rose is a full go, he makes for an extremely interesting play against Damian Lillard defense. If Rose misses, I would expect Ron Baker to start and be a pretty interesting GPP option. The "Every Lineup" Guys Tyler Ulis Ulis is going to see over 40 minutes once again and I just don't see the merit in fading on this slate. He has an elite match-up against the Nets and provides a ton of safety. Lin is an atrocious defender and Ulis will have no problem getting to the rim. The Suns want to see what they have in Ulis and he certainly wants to show them. He has been over 35 fantasy points in 3 of the last 4 and I think he returns there tonight. Ulis is a...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Tyler Ulis FD - $6800 DK - $7100 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 38.96 DK - 41 Ulis has been locked into 40 minutes over the last 4 and it's simply something we can't ignore. Even in a blowout, Ulis played 42 minutes and shot the ball plenty. While the price has definitely risen, you can play him in this match-up. Jeremy Lin and Spencer Dinwiddie are some of the absolute worst defenders in the league on the perimeter. Ulis will be able to use his speed and agility to get past the likes of Brook Lopez and Trevor Booker on screens. This game between the Suns and Nets has the highest over/under by far at 223, a full 17 points than the 2nd higher game. The point guards benefit most in fast-paced games and Ulis should definitely have a great game. Ulis did have an off night against Goran Dragic, but you can't really blame him. The Suns were getting blown out and he was the only starter left on the floor. This should be a far more competitive game and we should see Ulis approach 40 like we have come to expect. Goran Dragic FD - $8000 DK - $8000 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 37.49 DK - 40 Dragic and the Heat are coming off an astounding victory against the Suns where the starters didn't have to be pushed in the 4th quarter. Dragic ended up playing 24 minutes, which means he should have no reigns for at least a game or two. This match-up with the Raptors is a great one, as CoJo is a much worse defender than Lowry. Allowing nearly 52 fantasy points per game to point guards over the last 10, Joseph has struggled. He is not used to playing this many minutes and could be compensating on defense for spent energy.  Dragic is the leader of this Heat team and he's been pretty consistent as of late. While the upside might not be there for 60 or 70 fantasy points, nobody offers that outside of Lillard. Dragic does give you a 35 fantasy point floor that locks you into a good spot in cash games. Dragic makes a lot of sense on...
