Yesterday's Perfect NBA DFS Lineups: Sunday 3/15/15
With March Madness now in full swing, I'm not really sure how many people were paying attention to NBA hoops last night. But while everyone was filling out their brackets, Anthony Davis was putting on an absolute show.
The Brow posted a ridiculous 36-point, 14-rebound, 9-block, 7-assist line in a double-overtime win over the Nuggets. Davis dominated both ends of the floor and was by far the best player in this game. Oh yeah, and he just turned 22 years old last week.
While the Pelicans' star posted by far the best line of the night, he was not the only player on the slate to put together an impressive performance in New Orleans last night. Will Barton looked spectacular in a spot-start for the Nuggets, pouring in 25 points with 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals while Jameer Nelson also stepped up for the short-handed Nuggets, scoring 18 points with 6 assists and 5 rebounds. On the other side of the ball Tyreke Evans nearly accumulated a triple-double of his own, posting 25 points, 10 assists and 9 boards.
Although the double-overtime thriller was definitely the game which provided the most value last night, there was plenty of value to be had from other games as well. Brandan Wright looked outstanding while filling in for the injured Alex Len, scoring 18 points while grabbing 11 boards in a victory over the Knicks, while Dennis Schroder made the most of his own spot start, amassing 24 points, 10 assists and 3 boards while Jeff Teague got the night off.
I know most of you are focussed on trying to figure out which 12 seed is going to knock off a 5 seed but, believe it or not, there is actually a pretty entertaining slate of NBA games on tonight.
