Yesterday's Perfect NBA DFS Lineups: Monday 3/23/15
With only one close game on the slate last night, we saw a ton of value from the Timberwolves overtime win over the Jazz. Rudy Gobert dominated the interior of Minnesota's defense, scoring 18 points and snatching 17 rebounds. The Stifle Tower also added six blocked shots to add to his dominance. His running mate, Derrick Favors, also looked great last night adding 19 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists of his own.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the ball, Chase Budinger and Lorenzo Brown stepped up in a huge way for the shorthanded Timberwolves. Budinger -- who has been filling in admirably as of late -- dropped 15 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds on the Jazz, while Brown filled up the stat sheet with 10 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.
While most of the value from yesterday's slate came from the Utah vs. Minnesota game, there were a number of players who put up monster lines in blowout games. Evan Turner put together an impressive 19 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds against the Nets. Turner controlled the pace of the game and played a spectacular game to lead the Celtics to an important win as they fight for a playoff berth.
With another relatively small slate of games on the docket for tonight, it will not be easy to find value once again.
