NBA DFS Picks: Yahoo Plays and Strategy for Friday, March 29

[ad_1]

After only two games on Thursday, the NBA comes roaring back with 12 Friday. Injuries continue to play a significant role in DFS, especially among some teams already out of the playoff hunt. With that in mind, here are some players to consider on Yahoo, as well as a few to potentially avoid.

GUARDS

Jalen Green, HOU at UTA ($36): Green has put the Rockets on his back as they try to make a push for the playoffs. Over the last seven games, he’s produced at least 47.6 Yahoo points six times – including 51.8 against the Jazz last Saturday. With Utah listing the league’s worst defensive rating, Green should do well again in the rematch.

Miles McBride, NY at SA ($17): OG Anunoby (elbow) has been ruled out again for the Knicks. That should lead to another start for McBride, who’s logged at least 40 minutes in each of the last five appearances. And during that span, he’s averaged 21.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists. McBride will also be facing a Spurs squad that plays at the third-fastest pace.

Guard to Avoid

Chris Paul, GS at CHA ($21): The good news for the Warriors is that they’re mostly healthy as they try to hold off the Rockets in the Western Conference standings. But that’s not great for Paul’s fantasy production as he’s only averaged 21 minutes the last seven games, leading to him scoring no more than 23.2 Yahoo points five times.

FORWARDS

Jalen Williams, OKC vs. PHO ($35): After being unable to suit up against the Rockets on Wednesday, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) is being listed as doubtful for Friday. With SGA out, Williams posted 23 points en route to 48.0 Yahoo points. With plenty of projected shot attempts, expect him to carry a high floor.

Rui Hachimura, LAL at IND ($15): A move into the starting lineup has done wonders for Hachimura. Over his last 23 outings in that role, he’s averaged 15.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers. Facing a Pacers’ team with the second-fastest pace in the league makes Hachimura a viable option in tournament play.

Forward to Avoid

Gordon Hayward, OKC vs. PHO ($21): Even with Gilgeous-Alexander out Wednesday, Hayward only logged 22 minutes. He dropped 13 points,…
