Eight games dot the NBA daily fantasy slate for Monday’s action. While sometimes we like having a heavy hitter or two in there, there’s tons of value a little lower on the salary list this week. So we dug through it all to find the very best diamonds in the rough for you to help get your lineup in the green.

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup for Monday – March 27th
PG – Jamal Murray – DEN – $7,900
Jamal Murray may not seem like the big ticket item you splurge for in NBA daily fantasy lineups, but he will be valuable in this slate. His scoring has picked up heavily lately – going for 25+ in three of his last four. A lot of that is on the back of his three-point shot, which has been good to the tune of 60% in the last three games. Although Philadelphia hasn’t allowed many threes this year, they’re in a down stretch of letting up more than usual, and Murray could take advantage.
SG – Coby White – CHI – $5,600

Speaking of players who suddenly have emerged in scoring due to good three-pointers – check out Coby White. He’s shooting over 50% in the last three games and is firing off more shots as a result. The Clippers have allowed 14.7 threes per game over their previous three games (good for 27th in the league over that time), so expect more of the same from White.
SF – Tari Eason – HOU – $5,600
The Knicks are 20th in the league in giving up points to forwards, and Tari Eason might be the beneficiary of that. The Rockets rookie is logging huge minutes and snagged 8+ rebounds in three of his last four games. He also cracked 20 points in two of those.
PF – Kelly Olynyk – UTA – $7,100
The thing I like about Olynyk at this price is that he has a high floor. He’s only dipped below 10 points in one of his last eleven games. Ditto for five rebounds and three assists. So knowing that you automatically start with that and build from there is a nice touch and one to make sure you have some stability with flirting-with-triple-double upside.
C – Jonas Valanciunas – NOP – $7,900
The Lithuanian big man has been white hot as of late. He’s averaging 15.2 rebounds per game over his last five. Portland is 22nd in the league in rebounding percentage, so he will be in line for about that many again. He’s also adding in more offense, beating his season average in all of those five games as well.
G – Tim Hardaway Jr – DAL – $5,500
With Luka Doncic getting knocked out of the last game with an ejection and not making it back for tonight, I’m riding with Hardaway to get some of those minutes. He logged 36 last game, which was good for nearly 30 fantasy points. At this price point, it’s worth seeing if he can’t do even more than that.
F – Harrison Barnes – SAC – $5,300

The Kinds have been leaning on Barnes more often as of late. He’s logged 35 minutes in back-to-back games, well over his season average. He’s also hitting the boards more lately, which could be big against a Timberwolves team that ranked 27th in rebounding percentage.
UTIL – Bones Hyland – LAC – $5,000
Don’t look now, but Hyland is returning to the form that had him in 6th man of the year talks when the season started. He’s gone for 30.0 and 37.0 fantasy points in the last two games, respectively. He’s scoring and racking up dimes. With the price where it is, ride the hot hand until the wheels fall off or the price gets too high.
