NBA Daily Fantasy Picks, Salaries and Betting Lines – March 18

Gambling911.com has your NBA daily fantasy picks, salaries and betting lines for March 18 with a full slate of games Wednesday evening.

Elfrid Payton (Orlando - PG) $5.8K – March 18 - Needing roughly 29 fantasy points, Payton topped 35 the other night versus Boston and came close to making value versus Milwaukee in the previous game.  Most telling of all perhaps is that Payton was able to hold his own against Indiana a few nights ago. Dallas has struggled against point guards though Payton did not fare well versus the Mavs when he last faced them.  Use only as a last alternative in this matchup.

Nerlens Noel (Philadelphia - C) $6.7K – March 18 - Detroit gives up the 4^th most points to opposing centers this season so Noel needs to be on your roster the 18^th for sure.

J.J. Redick (Los Angeles Clippers - SG) $6.5K – March 18 - Sacramento ranks dead last against centers.  Redick’s price has gone up for a reason.  Redick needs approximately 31 fantasy points.  Against a decent Charlotte team he just made value. 

DeMar DeRozan (Toronto - SG) $7.2K – March 18 - DeRozan needs roughly 32 fantasy points and reached that number in his last game versus Miami.  Now he goes up against a Pacers team that has had troubles of late containing shooting guards.  He did flirt with the 40 mark last time going up against Indiana.

Minnesota is also having it difficulties against opposing shooting guards, giving up the 8^th most fantasy points to that position.   DeRozan did make value the last time facing the T-Wolves.

Damian Lillard (Oregon - PG) $8.1K - March 18 – He will face a Heat team that has struggled against opposing point guards since the start of the year.  Lillard needs approximately 32 fantasy points to make value.  He just barely made that versus Washington the other night.  Lillard struggled against a much more potent Heat team last season.

Tiago Splitter (San Antonio - C) $3.6K – March 18 – Milwaukee has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing centers since the start of the season and Splitter comes cheap, barely needing 20 fantasy points to make value.  He hit over 30 fantasy points last night versus the Knicks.  This is a back-to-back game where Spurs bigger names may see reduced minutes.   Playing just over 16 minutes off the bench the last time he faced the Bucks, Splitter managed to accumulate better than 15 fantasy points. 

Demarre Carroll (Atlanta - SF) $5.5K - March 18 – A play to consider as he only needs roughly 26 fantasy points to make value.  Expect Carroll to get a slight bump in minutes with Kyle Korver out.  Carroll played well the other night versus the Kings and will face off against a potent Golden State team that’s only real weakness is against opposing shooting forwards.

Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma – PG) - $12.5K - March 18 – Don’t even think about it although the temptation may certainly be there.  Westbrook can do no wrong but, needing 50 fantasy points against Boston Wednesday night, he will be up against defensive-minded Avery Bradley.
