NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Tonight: Porter Brothers Provide Value

NBA daily fantasy incapsulates the worlds of fantasy sports and sports betting into one fun and riveting contest that can lead to massive gains for those who participate. 

The DFS lineup will incorporate a standard starting lineup of a PG, SG, SF, PF, and C, along with an additional G, F, and UTIL slot at a salary of $50,000 which cannot be exceeded. Points are allocated based on the statistical production from each individual player that night. 

Here's a look at our lineup for the NBA's slate of games on Wednesday, March 13, 2024:

PG: Luka Doncic, Dallas Mavericks (Vs. Warriors)

Luka Doncic is the type of player worth investing in, but he comes with the risk of needing to find value in lower-tier players to justify his massive price. He's recorded a triple-double in seven-straight games and is a shoe-in for at least 70 fantasy points.

SG: Gradey Dick, Toronto Raptors (At Pistons)

The slew of injuries affecting the core of the Toronto Raptors has provided much-needed opportunity to the 13th overall pick in last summer's draft. Gradey Dick's 37 fantasy points in the Mile High City on Monday were his highest of the season.

SF: Michael Porter Jr, Denver Nuggets (At Heat)

Michael Porter Jr. has scored 19 or more points with at least two 3-pointers in five of his last six appearances, and just scored 30 while grabbing 11 boards against the Miami Heat on Feb. 29.

PF: Isaac Okoro, Cleveland Cavaliers (At Pelicans)

Isaac Okoro will continue to see hefty minutes as the Cleveland Cavaliers endure without their stars, especially since the 23-year-old is the best defender on the perimeter with or without them. He's limited offensively, but can rack up big steals numbers and will take a ton of 3-pointers.

C: Jontay Porter, Toronto Raptors (At Pistons)

With Jakob Poeltl and Chris Boucher sidelined, the Raptors essentially only have Jontay Porter and Kelly Olynyk as bigs with any size in the rotation. Porter has more upside in fantasy with his assist numbers and outside shooting. 

G: Jaden Ivey, Detroit Pistons (Vs. Raptors)

Jaden Ivey can be very hot and cold with his fantasy production, evident by registering 25 fantasy points on Monday after finishing with 45 a week earlier against the Brooklyn Nets. He's had weak performances against the Raptors in the past, but the opposition is undermanned and Ivey has more free reign over these final weeks.

F: Andrew Wiggins, Golden State Warriors (At Mavericks)

The Canadian forward saw his minutes nearly double over the last two games without Stephen Curry by his side, and even got the start on Monday against the San Antonio Spurs. This may not last forever, so try and get the most out of Andrew Wiggins while you can at this price.

UTIL: Wendell Carter Jr, Orlando Magic (Vs. Nets)

A 13-point, 15-rebound effort recently against the Indiana Pacers was Wendell Carter Jr's first double-double in a hot minute. A burdensome knee injury continues to creep up, but as long as he's active, the potential is there for similar lines.
