DFS NBA DraftKings Lineup Advice 3/24/19

Hope everyone is enjoying the tournament! We have another split slate on Sunday. I wish they would just combine the two for a bigger slate. Anyway, these picks are for the afternoon only. Not much else to say today, let’s get to it!

Top Plays

James Harden (Houston) $11,500 @ New Orleans

This pick is painfully obvious, but I am not going to scrounge for another pick. True story, back in the summer of ’06 I watched Harden play on the AAU circuit in LA against a team that one of the players at the High School I coached at was playing against. I was interested because Harden had recently committed to my Alma Mater, Arizona State. Never did I imagine this is what he would become. The matchup against New Orleans is outstanding, the risk of a blowout is very real, but even if he plays 30 minutes, I see the Beard reaching value here.

Others to consider: 

Clint Capela $7,400 @ New Orleans, Buddy Hield $7,100 @ La Lakers, Anthony Davis $7,000 versus Houston (if he plays it won’t be a lot but he should still score 40 fantasy points)

Rajon Rondo (LA Lakers) $6,200 @ Sacramento

I’m not sure 6200k really counts as a value pick, but I throw out the rules on a smaller slate. The Kings are not great at defense against the point, and I’m not sure if/how much LeBron is going to play. Also a little know fact, Rajon Rondo was a King during the 2015-2016 season so we have the revenge narrative here. All that lines up to make Rajon Rondo a solid pick in this space, and one that should reach value.

Others to consider: 

JaVale McGee $5,600 versus Sacramento, Frank Jackson $4,500 versus Houston, Alex Caruso $4,100 versus Sacramento

Neva Plays

LeBron James (LA Lakers) $10,100 vs. Sacramento

If the Lakers were at all in the playoff picture this would be an amazing spot for LeBron. Alas, they are not, and for the first time in years, not only will LeBron not be in the Finals, but he will not be in the playoffs. I suppose he could get pissed off and play a classic LeBron game here, but with injury issues, and the season drawing to a close with nothing left to play for I will not be chasing that game here.
