Yesterday's Perfect NBA DFS Lineups: Sunday 3/22/15
The superstars in yesterday's slate definitely brought their A-game. For example, LeBron James scored 28 points with 10 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 steals, while Andre Drummond scored 18 points and grabbed 22 boards with 4 blocks. Kemba Walker also played spectacularly last night, finally looking healthy with a full-line of 16 points, 8 assists, 6 steals and 3 rebounds. That said, it was a few less heralded players who truly stole the show last night.
Danilo Gallinari poured in a career-best 40 points while adding 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks and only one turnover. The Nuggets' forward was able to score in a multitude of ways while leading Denver to a rare victory. Gallo wasn't the only journeyman veteran to put together a spectacular line last night. Evan Turner continued his hot play last night with 23 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds and 3 steals in a high-scoring affair with the Pistons and Jeremy Lin went full Linsanity mode with 29 points, 5 boards and 5 dimes of his own.
