Daily Fantasy NBA Picks, Salaries and Betting Lines – March 19

It’s a small slate of games on tap for tonight’s NBA and especially difficult to locate value with uncertainty over whether teams like the Rockets will sit out key players against the Nuggets but there are a few picks to be had nonetheless.   James Harden has an asterisk for that very reason. 

Eric Bledsoe (Phoenix - PG) $8.1K – March 19 – Needing only 40 fantasy points, Bledsoe will face a team that has given up the most fantasy points to opposing point guards this month.  He easily made value against the Knicks Sunday night.  He did the same facing off against New Orleans the last time.

*James Harden (Houston - SG) $10.5K – March 19 - Denver allows the most fantasy points to opposing shooting guards.  He will go up against the Nuggets on March 19.  He had little trouble making value vs. Denver the last time he played them.   *The blowout potential is here so exercise some caution as minutes could be reduced.

PJ Tucker (Phoenix - SF) $5.7K – March 19 – This is a decent play on a night with a limited slate.  New Orleans is having trouble against both shooting guards and small forwards. Tucker needs roughly 27 fantasy points to make value.  Against Atlanta the other night, Tucker flirted with that target number.  He failed to make value against New Orleans the last time facing them but again there are not many options on this night.
