Yesterday's Perfect NBA DFS Lineups: Monday 3/9/15
Unfortunately for both fans and daily fantasy players alike, every single game on yesterday's eight-game slate was decided by double-digits and most of them were not close for the majority of the game. With that said, despite not having a single close game on the slate, there was some serious value to be had yesterday.
Anthony Davis continued his exceptional play since returning from his shoulder injury, dominating the Bucks to the tune of 43 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks and a steal. Davis has been virtually unstoppable over his last four games and will get another opportunity to stay hot tonight in a matchup with the struggling Nets.
Davis wasn't the only superstar who put on a show last night. Stephen Curry dropped 36 points with 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals in a blowout win over the Suns while DeAndre Jordan scored 20 points while grabbing 17 rebounds, dishing out 3 assists and swatting 2 shots in a similarly dominant victory over the Timberwolves.
As good as those big-name players were last night, we saw some up-and-coming talents step up in a big way last night as well. Austin Rivers was impressive for the banged up Clippers with 13 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and no turnovers, while Tony Snell scored 21 points to go along with 3 rebounds, 2 steals and an assist in a loss to the Grizzlies.
The real star of last night's slate -- and the man who provided the best value on the board last night -- was Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Greek Freak looked spectacular, getting to the basket at will and truly living up to his nickname. Antetokoumpo's impressive 29-point, 5-rebound, 4-assist, 3-steal and 3-block line showcased his versatility and inserted him directly into yesterday's perfect lineups.
With just six games on tonight's slate, there isn't as much value to be had as there was a day ago. With this in mind, make sure to check our optimal lineups -- which will be updated periodically throughout the day -- to see who our algorithms recommend as the best plays tonight.
