Fantasy basketball advice: NBA FanDuel lineup advice for Sunday, March 29

James Harden, SG, Rockets ($11,600): With Patrick Beverley out, the ball is now in James Harden's hands even more and, not surprisingly, he's putting up some monster numbers. 33.6 points, 6.8 assists, 5.2 rebounds, 1.8 steals and one block over his last five games. Harden also has a great matchup on Sunday. The Rockets will face the Wizards, who are allowing opposing guards to score a ridiculously high 47.8 FanDuel points per game over their last five, per Rotoworld. That's more than six points greater than the league-high amount the Kings are surrendering on the season.

Kyrie Irving, PG, Cavaliers ($8,100): This is based on a hunch, and the matchup. Irving has slipped a bit of late, averaging just 19.0 points and shooting 42 percent from the field over his last five. So why go with him here? First off, that's allowed his price to drop to the point where you can afford to play him and Harden. Also, the Cavaliers are playing the Sixers on Sunday, who have struggled slowing doing opposing point guards all year. The 41.9 FanDuel points they're allowing point guards to score per game this season is the fourth highest number in the league, per Rotoworld. This game should be an easy win for the Cavaliers, and it's unlikely that LeBron James plays a ton of minutes. That could clear the way for Irving to do his thing.

Markieff Morris, PF, Suns ($7,100): Morris has become as steady a fantasy contributor at power forward as there is in the league. He's averaging 18.4 points and 8.4 rebounds over his last five. He's also adding 3.0 assists and 1.2 steals, which is what makes him a good play in fantasy formats. The Thunder, who the Suns and Morris play on Sunday, are allowing opposing power forwards to score 44.5 points over their last 10 games, per Rotoworld. That's what happens when a team's best interior defender, in this case Serge Ibaka, goes down. OKC will also be playing the second game of a back-to-back and the Suns like to play fast. Morris should be able to find a number of easy baskets against a tired team.

Goran Dragic, PG, Heat ($6,700): This is a bet on Dwyane Wade's health, or lack of it. Wade got his knee drained on Saturday is questionable for Miami's game Sunday against Detroit. Assuming he doesn't play, that will then leave the offense in Dragic's hands. That's a very good thing for fantasy owners. If Wade does go, though, then you probably want to swap Dragic out.

Chandler Parsons, SF, Mavericks ($6,300): Another bet on someone not being able to go, in this case, Monta Ellis. Ellis is questionable for the Mavericks' Sunday game against the Pacers. Why does this affect Parsons? Because he's probably the second-best shot creator on the team. Yeah, he's struggled of late, but if Ellis is out, Dallas is going to have to put the ball in Parsons' hands. That, as you know, is a great thing to hear when it comes to fantasy.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, SG, Pistons ($5,500): KCP has quietly been on fire of late. He's averaging 19.6 points and hitting 2.4 three-pointers per game over his last five. He's also getting 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals. On Sunday, he'll either be guarded by a hobbled Dwyane Wade, or an under-sized Mario Chalmers. Either way, he should be able to take advantage.

Steven Adams, C, Thunder ($5,400): Serge Ibaka's fill-in continues to consistently put up solid numbers: 11.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.4 steals over his last five. For this price, you really can't ask for more. That this will be Adams' second game in two days is worrisome, but this is crunch time for the Thunder. It will be all hands on deck for them, and Adams has proved that, if given the minutes, he can produce.

Ryan Kelly, PF, Lakers ($3,900): The gamble for the day. To be clear, Kelly pretty much stinks. But that doesn't matter to us. All that does is are numbers he puts up, and with the Lakers now tanking and keeping Carlos Boozer and Jordan Hill on the bench, Kelly is getting the opportunity to produce. He's playing 32.6 minutes over his last three games, and taking an average on 10 shots and 4.6 three-pointers. No, he hasn't been connecting much, but the looks are there. At this price, that makes this a gamble worth taking.
