NBA DFS Picks: Yahoo Plays and Strategy for Sunday, March 31

[ad_1]

This is the final Yahoo article of the season. I’ve really enjoyed writing these pieces throughout the last three years, and it’s sad it’s coming to an end. In any case, we have a great final slate to discuss with nine games starting at 6 p.m. EDT and many top clubs taking the court. There’s plenty to discuss, so let’s go ahead and get into it.

Guards

Jalen Green, HOU vs. DAL ($39)

Houston is the hottest team in the NBA, and Green is the reason for this ridiculous run. The former No. 2 pick has taken over since Alperen Sengun went down by averaging 21 shots and 37 minutes across his last 15 outings. That robust role has led to JG scoring at least 51 Y! points from six of his last eight outings while posting a 53-point average over that span. That means his salary should be $10 higher, especially since he gets to face a disastrous Dallas defense ranking 20th in points allowed while surrendering the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing guards.

Cam Thomas, BKN vs. LAL ($27)

Green and Thomas are very similar players as they love to put up shots. Making Kevin Ollie the coach has earned Thomas even more touches as he’s averaged 20 shots and 37 minutes since returning from an injury three weeks ago. He’s also produced at least 30 Yahoo points in all 10 of those appearances while posting an average of 39. Facing a lackluster Lakers defense only adds to Thomas’s intrigue as they sit 23rd in total defense while giving up the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing guards. That was clear when he collected 46 Y! in their one matchup back in January.

Guard to Avoid

Chris Paul, GSW at SAS ($21)

CP3 was moved into the lineup with Klay Thompson and Jonathan Kuminga missing on Friday, though he’s expected to return to the bench if either returns. We’re going to assume that happens, which means Paul isn’t a great value with his diminished role. The former All-Star has managed 27 or fewer Yahoo points over nine of his last 10 games coming off of the bench with a 22-point average in that reduced role. We also saw Paul score 12 and 14 Y! during his two most recent reserve outings earlier in the week while only logging 20 minutes a…
