Yesterday's Perfect NBA DFS Lineups: Sunday 3/8/15

Victor Oladipo has been red hot for the banged up Magic as of late.

With games on all day long yesterday, there was plenty of value to be had in DFS, as well as a number of stars continuing their hot play. Russell Westbrook continued his otherworldly play, recording his fifth triple-double in his last six games -- and it's not like Russ is putting up Jason Kidd-type lines either. Westbrook scored 30 points to go along with a career-best 17 assists, 11 rebounds and 4 steals, although he did turn the ball over 9 times as well. The Thunder floor general has become incredibly expensive yet continues to reach five-times value on a nightly basis. Fade him at your own risk.

As much as I would love to write another five paragraphs about how dominant Westbrook is, there are a number of other players who deserve to be recognized for their outstanding play yesterday as well. Enes Kanter was the recipient of a number of those 17 Westbrook assists, pouring in 21 points with 12 boards and 4 assists in Oklahoma City's victory over Toronto. Kanter wasn't the only young gun who played like an All-Star last night -- the Magic backcourt of rookie Elfrid Payton and sophomore Victor Oladipo was incredible, too.

Payton flirted with his own triple-double, scoring 19 points with 10 boards and 7 assists for the short-handed Magic. The rookie point guard has really come into his own as of late and looks to be making a late push towards the rookie of the year title. Meanwhile, Oladipo is beginning to emerge as a true superstar. The Magic guard filled up the stat sheet once again, scoring 22 points with 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Considering how banged-up they are, the Magic never would have been able to pull off a victory last night if not for the outstanding play of their young back court.

Today's slate should be rather interesting. There are a number of big-name players who are game-time decisions tonight and a lot of potential value on the board.
