Strategies
James Harden set to carry the load tonight for FanDuel owners. Harden will look to lead his Houston Rockets to a big road win as they travel to Toronto to take on the Raptors. Despite welcoming Dwight Howard back to the lineup, Harden has continued his fantasy success posting at least 39 fantasy points in four straight games.
In all the NBA has a seven game lineup to build your fantasy rosters around including two contests with over/under of over 200 points. The first matchup featured the Rockets/Raptors at 207 with the second matchup of the Phoenix Suns traveling to take on the Portland Trailblazers with an over/under set at 201.5 points.
This has helped us lean to LaMarcus Aldridge as our other top fantasy option tonight on the court. We debated between Aldridge or DeMarcus Cousins but favor Aldridges fantasy matchup a little higher. Aldridge has posted back to back 43 plus fantasy performances including a 43.3 performance just two games a go at Phoenix.
Here is our complete FanDuel lineup for March 30th.
PG – Mike Conley ($5,800): Conley enters tonight with one of the top fantasy matchups as the Memphis Grizzlies take on a Sacramento Kings team allowing the second most fantasy points over the past three weeks to the point guard position.
PG – Isaiah Thomas ($6,900): Since his return the Boston Celtics point guard has slowly gotten back into a fantasy rhythm. That being said yesterday’s big performance with over 30 fantasy points lands him as one of our point guards.
SG – James Harden ($11,600): Harden is the top fantasy option on the court tonight making it an easy decision for us. Add in the fact the Rockets/Raptors are expected to be the top scoring contest of the night makes a few members from those teams’ key fantasy plays.
SG – Louis Williams ($4,800): Looking for a FanDuel bargain leads us to Williams tonight for the Raptors. The Raptors shooting guard has back to back fantasy performances with over 20 fantasy points with a great fantasy matchup tonight against the Raptors.
SF – PJ Tucker ($5,200): The Suns will rely on Tucker as well as Eric Bledsoe with Brandon Knight out of the lineup. Tucker has the fantasy potential to drop over 20 fantasy points on almost night but has let fantasy owners down as well.
SF – Jae Crowder ($5,400): Crowder is coming off his worst fantasy performance in nearly three weeks on Sunday as he finished with just 10 fantasy points. That being said if you look at what he had done leading up to it he warrants another chance tonight with a potential to drop over 30 fantasy points.
PF – LaMarcus Aldridge ($9,500): Aldridge is the top power forward on the board tonight making him an easy start. Add in that he just posted 27 points along with nine rebounds against the same Suns team on Friday Night makes him a great option tonight for fantasy owners.
PF – Marvin Williams ($4,500): We looked at the Charlotte Hornets matchup with Boston for some bargains as the Celtics like to shoot the rock. This should open up some fantasy numbers for Williams who is coming of a 31 point fantasy performance on Saturday.
C – Jordan Hill, ($6,000): Outside of Cousins tonight the center position was wide open with options. This lead us to hill who made his return on Sunday to the Lakers lineup after missing three straight games. Hill finished with 22 points and 16 rebounds rewarding fantasy owners who selected him.
