Yahoo DFS Basketball: Who to Play, Who to Avoid for 3/27

[ad_1]

We’re set for a signature massive midweek slate Wednesday, as there are 12 games on the docket. That gives us an almost overwhelming player pool, but it also presents us with the opportunity to be a bit more selective than usual of whom we invest the highest dollars in, given there are so many choices to consider.

As customary, we’ll highlight multiple advantageous positional matchups to exploit at each position for your Yahoo Fantasy lineups, as well as a good trio of candidates that may be best to steer clear of due to a combination of circumstances/salary.

Guards

Darius Garland, CLE at CHA ($30): Speaking of utilizing salary cap dollars wisely, I’m in favor of paying down a bit at guard Wednesday and going with Garland as a play has the potential to deliver a very good return on investment. The star guard will continue to operate without Donovan Mitchell (nose) and checks in having scored over 30 Yahoo points in three of his last five games alone. Garland has flashed a much higher ceiling than that this season as well, and he’ll face a Hornets squad that’s allowed the fourth-highest offensive efficiency rating to point guards (29.6), along with the fourth-most Yahoo points per game to ones in the last 30 contests (51.6).

Jeremy Sochan, SAN at UTA ($21): Sochan has blown past his current salary on multiple occasions recently, scoring 55.1 Yahoo points in his most recent contest Monday against the Suns and also recording over 30 on five other occasions in his last eight games overall. The second-year continues to be listed at his season-opening position of guard, but he’s deployed as a power forward these days. That puts him in an excellent positional matchup Wednesday, as the Jazz are surrendering an NBA-high 31.0 offensive efficiency rating to fours, along with 52.3% shooting, including 39.9% from 3-point range. Additionally, Utah has yielded 51.8 Yahoo points per contest to the position in the last 30 games, and Sochan already has one tally of 29.5 Yahoo points against the Jazz this season.
