Every DraftKings daily fantasy lineup needs players that can put up 60 fantasy points on a given night. Here are three who might do that tonight.

DraftKings daily fantasy teams are built on two types of NBA players: guys who could go off that night and guys who you can steal for cheap due to an unusual circumstance. This article is going to target three big money players you can build your team around for Friday, March 3.

These are guys that usually get more fantasy points than other players, but because of favorable matchups or circumstances, might score even more than expected. DraftKings is all about getting the most “bang for your buck” in any case.

During this part of the season, one of the best places to look is on teams that are desperately fighting to make the playoffs. In the Western Conference, there are more than five teams still jockeying for position, meaning night in and night out these guys are giving it their 100 percent to give their team the extra push it needs.

With this logic, players on the Denver Nuggets, Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Clippers, Utah Jazz and Portland Trail Blazers are prime pickings for players who might do better than usual.
