Here are my FanDuel lineups for March 21:

Point Guards:

Bargains:

Patrick Beverley, Rockets ($4,700): Beverley is usually not a great option, but on a light night against the Suns, he is the best cheap one. At $4,700, he only needs 21.2 fantasy points for 4.5x value. He should easily surpass that against Phoenix tonight in an up-tempo game.

George Hill, Pacers ($6,400): Hill has only been under 20 fantasy points once in the last ten games. He is at the price now where anything below 20 is going to hurt, but he also has the potential to go for 40. Don’t expect that against the Nets, but he could be around 4.5x value.

Worth The Cost:

Stephen Curry, Warriors ($10,000): Curry has a nice matchup against Utah tonight. He has not been over 40 points in his last three games, and he has only hit 4x value twice in his last ten games. Tonight the Jazz will plug the middle, and he will have to handle more of the scoring load with Klay Thompson out. Curry is going to be forced to score tonight, which makes him a tantalizing option in daily leagues.

Reggie Jackson, Pistons ($7,400): Jackson has scored 89.6 fantasy points in his last two games against Memphis and Philadelphia, two teams that have defended the point well. He has earned the ire of Stan Van Gundy at times, but when he is going like this, there are few better options.

Risky Plays:

Damian Lillard, Trailblazers ($8,200): Lillard has what looks like a tough matchup in Memphis. Unfortunately for him, both Mike Conley and Tony Allen are back, so the tough perimeter defense should be as well.

Aaron Brooks, Bulls ($5,800): Brooks has been up and down with Rose and Butler out. I am opting for the latter against the Pistons. The defense is going to make it tough for Brooks.

My Lineups:

A: Jackson and Beverley ($12,100)

B: Jackson and Jarrett Jack ($13,000): Jack is gaining his fantasy value back since Williams is struggling again.

Next: Is Harden Worth It?

Shooting Guards:

Bargains:

Tony Allen, Grizzlies ($4,700): Allen is becoming one of the better cheap options available. He has been over 4x value in each of his last 15 games played. You can’t go wrong with Allen. Just realize that he has little upside to speak of. He isn’t going to get 30 fantasy points anytime soon.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Pistons ($4,900): KCP is not the most consistent guy in the world, but he has done well against both Philadelphia and Memphis over his last two games. That makes him a solid play tonight against Chicago.

Worth The Cost:

James Harden, Rockets ($11,000): Harden scored a career high 50 points his last time out. Now he gets the Suns, who are not opposed to giving up points themselves. It could be another huge night for Harden. I am betting that he is easily the highest scoring option of the night.

Joe Johnson, Nets ($5,400): Johnson has been over 30 fantasy points in two of his last three games. He has not been the most reliable option since the break, but on a light night, you could do worse.

Risky Plays:

Eric Bledsoe, Suns ($8,300): Bledsoe has had problems reaching even 4x value lately. He has hit 4x value just three times in his last ten games. His matchup against Houston is a nice one, but using him is still a bit of a risk.

Rodney Stuckey, Pacers ($6,100): Stuckey has been under 20 fantasy points in three of his last four games after an impressive couple of weeks. There are simply too many guards in Indiana to count on any one of them.

My Lineups:

A: Harden and Allen ($15,700)

B: Harden and Johnson ($16,400)

Next: Not Much At SF

Small Forwards:

Bargains:

Harrison Barnes, Warriors ($4,300): Barnes is the main beneficiary of the Klay Thompson injury so far. He has picked up the bulk of the scoring duties, dropping 47 points in his last two games. Not surprisingly, his fantasy numbers have been way up as well. There isn’t much of a reason not to use him right now.

Bojan Bogdanovic, Nets ($3,700): Bogdanovic is nowhere near an elite option, but he has gone over 28 fantasy points in two of his last three games. The good thing is that he only needs 16.7 fantasy points for 4.5x value.

Worth The Cost:

Gordon Hayward, Jazz ($8,000): Hayward is back on track after two below average games. He is still an elite option when he doesn’t play elite teams. The Warriors are solid at the SF position, but the loss of Klay Thompson throws their rotations off a bit. This should be a good thing for Hayward.

Corey Brewer, Rockets ($5,500): Brewer is the scorer with the Rockets’ second unit. He has been over 27 fantasy points in five of his last six games. Six of seven wont be a problem against the Suns, especially if Trevor Ariza misses the game. If he does, Brewer could be a great bargain.

Risky Plays:

Draymond Green, Warriors ($7,700): The Jazz are monsters in the middle, and Green has played mostly at power forward. It could be a long night for Green against the Utah frontcourt.

Nicolas Batum, Trailblazers ($6,900): Batum has awoken from hibernation over the last month, but he still struggles against teams that defend well. Just about everyone has struggled against the Memphis SF’s. There are probably better options at lower prices tonight.

My Lineups:

A: Hayward and Barnes ($12,300)

B: Brewer and Barnes ($9,800)

Next: Several Good Options At PF

Power Forwards:

Bargains:

Marcus Morris, Suns ($5,200): Morris has gone over 30 fantasy points in every game that Brandon Knight has missed. With Knight listed as doubtful for tonight, Morris could have another really good game.

Donatas Motiejunas, Rockets ($5,600): Terrence Jones has a collapsed lung, so that means plenty of minutes for Motiejunas and Josh Smith. Motiejunas has been over 25 fantasy points in three straight games, so the uptick in minutes has made him a viable option again.

Worth The Cost:

Pau Gasol, Bulls ($8,900): Gasol is a much better option with Greg Monroe out. He has been over 30 fantasy points in 11 straight games, and likely won’t be under that tonight against a Pistons front without Monroe in it.

Nikola Mirotic, Bulls ($7,000): Mirotic has been a beast for the Bulls with Jimmy Butler out. Even though Taj Gibson is back, they can’t afford to not have Mirotic on the floor. He is their best scoring option right now. He has been over 25 fantasy points in seven straight, over 30 in five straight, and over 40 in two straight. He is the best option available at PF whenever he plays.

Risky Plays:

LaMarcus Aldridge, Trailblazers ($9,600): LMA has been a beast lately. He has averaged 50 fantasy points per game over his last four games. The problem is tonight he has to tangle with the formidable Memphis front line. I would temper my expectations. With him needing 43.8 fantasy points to reach 4.5x value, I doubt he gets there.

Zach Randolph, Grizzlies ($7,900): What’s bad for Aldridge is likely just as bad or worse for Randolph. There are plenty of other options available.

My Lineups:

A: Gasol and Mirotic ($16,900)

B: Marcus Morris and Mirotic ($12,200)

Next: Good Options At C

Center:

Bargains:

Brandan Wright, Suns ($5,600): Wright has had back to back 30+ point fantasy games with Alex Len out. With Len listed as doubtful for tonight, look for Wright to have another productive night.

Brook Lopez, Nets ($6,900): Lopez had a monster night last night against the normally solid Bucks. With David West hurting and Roy Hibbert maybe not at his best, he could have another good game against Indiana.

Worth The Cost:

Rudy Gobert, Jazz ($7,900): Gobert struggled against the Lakers, but that can be forgiven. The Warriors are not overly strong up front. Look for Gobert to rebound nicely.

Marc Gasol, Grizzlies ($7,900): Gasol has averaged 35 fantasy points per game over his last four games. He should get somewhere near that against the Trailblazers, who are more quantity then quality at the center position.

Risky Play:

Andre Drummond, Pistons ($8,700): Drummond is not the most consistent option to begin with. Add that to the fact that he is going against Joakim Noah, who is one of the best defensive centers in the league, and I say let Drummond be tonight.

My Lineups:

A: Lopez ($6,900)

B: Wright ($5,600)

Next: Harden's 50 Point Night?
