Building The Perfect NBA DraftKings Lineup For Mar. 6

Building the perfect NBA DraftKings lineup is a chore, so I hope this helps you on the quest to fantasy gold.

Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors look to continue gaining momentum as we approach the playoffs with another Western Conference statement against possible postseason opponent, the Dallas Mavericks. Curry has only accumulated less than 40 fantasy points twice over the last 10 games, and both were still over 30. However, he also pushed over 50 three times during that stretch and projects to do so again in a game with a 215 over/under.

You might not have ever heard of Jason Richardson since he plays on the Philadelphia 76ers, but over his last five games, he's played 25 minutes or more and is coming off a 40-plus fantasy point performance. Richardson's essentially been playing like a one point per minute option with over 1.5 PPM upside, which means he should be an adequate punt play for 5x value at just $ 4,100.

P.J. Tucker clearly took notice of Gerald Green's improved play a few weeks ago for the Phoenix Suns and realized that he must get his act together in order to keep his job. Over the last 10 days, he's averaging slightly over 30 fantasy points per game and is seeing 30 minutes essentially every night. No longer are the days where you have to be riddled with anxiety about a 10-point fantasy dud from Tucker, making him a stellar play at $ 5900.

5. PF - Nikola Mirotic - Chicago Bulls - $5,700

I wrongly faded Nikola Mirotic last evening as I wanted to see one more big game prior to being comfortable suggesting him in cash games. Mirotic has now accumulated three straight 35-plus fantasy point performances in Taj Gibson's absence, and he should easily do so again over the 30 minutes he'll see tonight against the Indiana Pacers.

4. C - Marc Gasol - Memphis Grizzlies - $7,500

Picking on the Los Angeles Lakers' frontcourt is always a swell idea in daily fantasy basketball, so Marc Gasol at just $ 7500 sticks out as my favorite bang for the buck option on this slate. The Lakers are fourth worst in the NBA at allowing fantasy points to opposing centers, so I like Gasol for 40-plus in this one unless it's an utter pulverization and over prior to the start of the fourth quarter.

3. G - Lou Williams - Toronto Raptors - $5,600

Despite the fact that it appears PG Kyle Lowry will play this evening for the Toronto Raptors, Lou Williams is a solid mid-tier option. He's an incredibly efficient point per minute option and spearheads the Raptors' second unit as their sixth man. Toronto simply counts on his 20 points per night on the floor regardless of who else on the team is in or out, so fire him up without worry.

2. F - Andre Iguodala - Golden State Warriors -$4,500

Rostering anyone who is going to see 30 minutes for his team at just $ 4500 is huge. Andre Iguodala should give you 6x value (27.5 fantasy points) without much of a hassle in the highest projected scoring game on this slate (215 over/under).

1. Util - Klay Thompson - Golden State Warriors - $7,200

Klay Thompson completes the Golden State Warriors stack that I felt was imperative to success this evening as the Dallas Mavericks have struggled of late and given up a ton of points. If this game pushes over 215 points as the good folks in Las Vegas suggest it might, the trio should easily push over 100 fantasy points with 120-plus upside.
