Yesterday’s lineup was a forgettable start to the month of March. Subpar performances from Robin Lopez, Justise Winslow, Deron Williams and Marvin Williams crippled the roster and it only finished with 248.5 points. Thankfully, today is a new day and there is a massive 11-game slate for tonight. This means that there are thousands of different ways to build the perfect NBA FanDuel lineup for it and here is one of the ways to accomplish that goal.
(PG) Chris Paul - Los Angeles Clippers - $10,200
Getty ImagesChris Paul is my top PG play for tonight as he gets to square off against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Not only are the Thunder weak at defending PGs, CP3 also has an excellent history against Russell Westbrook. He should finish with 50-plus fantasy points in a high-scoring affair.
(PG) Ricky Rubio - Minnesota Timberwolves - $6,700

There are too many good plays at PG tonight so choosing my second one was hard. However, I decided to roll with Ricky Rubio against the Washington Wizards. The Wizards have struggled recently against opposing PGs and it should lead to a 35-plus night for Rubio.
(SG) Will Barton - Denver Nuggets - $6,000
Getty ImagesWill Barton disappointed a lot of people in his last game against the Memphis Grizzlies. However, I feel that he will redeem himself against the Los Angeles Lakers tonight. The Lakers struggle against opposing SGs and I can see "Will the Thrill" scoring at least 30 fantasy points.
(SG) Lance Stephenson - Memphis Grizzlies - $3,900
Getty ImagesAs long as his price remains below $4,200, Lance Stephenson will be one of my favorite value plays on any given night. He draws an excellent matchup against the Sacramento Kings tonight since they struggle against SGs. "Born Ready" should score at least 20 with 28-plus upside.
(SF) Kawhi Leonard - San Antonio Spurs - $8,000
Getty ImagesI don't play many San Antonio Spurs, but when I do, I prefer Kawhi Leonard. He will face a Detroit Pistons team that's experienced recent struggles against SFs. Leonard is averaging 41.2 fantasy points since the All-Star Break and I can see him scoring 40-plus tonight.
(SF) Otto Porter - Washington Wizards - $5,100
Getty ImagesOtto Porter is averaging 27.2 fantasy points over his last three games and he gets to face the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight. Minnesota is ranked 21st against opposing SFs and that bodes well for Porter to score at least 25 with 30-plus upside.
(PF) Aaron Gordon - Orlando Magic - $6,500
Getty ImagesAaron Gordon was a disappointment last night, but I feel that he will redeem himself tonight. He will face the awful frontcourt defense of the Chicago Bulls in a game that should be fast paced. Therefore, I see no reason for Gordon to score any less than 32 fantasy points in this exploitable matchup.
(PF) Markieff Morris - Washington Wizards - $5,400
Getty ImagesMarkieff Morris has officially been given the keys to the starting PF position for the Washington Wizards. He responded with a 42.1 fantasy point explosion in his first game as a starter, and he gets to face the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight. Minnesota has struggled to stop PFs recently and this should lead to a 30-plus output for Morris.
(C) Nikola Vucevic - Orlando Magic - $8,100
Getty ImagesNikola Vucevic scored 37.7 fantasy points in his last game against the Chicago Bulls and I'm expecting bigger things for him tonight. Chicago has been the worst team in the league at stopping centers over its past three games. Therefore, I feel that Vucevic will exploit that to the tune of at least 40 fantasy points with 50-plus upside.
