David Jones won 100K on FanDuel! Read about it here
IMPORTANT: NBA DFS is completely different than any other sport. Players get ruled out five minutes before games and you HAVE TO BE READY to pivot. I will update this article as close to lineup lock as possible with any big news, but play it safe and stay on top of the news yourself.
I refer to FanDuel pricing today.
2/22 NBA DFS Point Guard
- OUT
Luka Doncic ($10,000 FD)I will have a ton of this game. Career rivals Luka and Trae will be going back and forth all night at State Farm Arena and both have a high floor and very high ceiling. I think we see a classic shoot out in Atlanta and the two starting point guards are my favorite plays on the slate. The Vegas projected total is 240.5 and it is only a six point spread. When is the last time a point guard against the Hawks has not hit? I can’t remember one.. - Trae Young ($10,200 FD) If you put Luka and Trae in your lineup you are pretty much locking down 110+ on Fanduel. That is something I am very interested in. Even if the Hawks are down 20 points in the 4th qtr (which I don’t expect) Trae will get full run. Update: Luka out, still love Trae.
- Russel Westbrook ($10,300 FD)
- Added: Ben Simmons ($8,900 FD)
- Added: Goran Dragic ($4,900 FD) Pivot to Kendrick Nunn if you need salary
- Jalen Brunson or JJ Barea ($3,600 FD) Luka out and Curry doubtful. Love whoever starts
- Coby White ($4,500 FD) He gets 30 minutes a game now that Dunn is done for the season. He is way too cheap against the Suns.
Punt: Ryan Arcidiacono ($3,500 FD) Starting for Bulls with Hutchinson sitting out with injury.
Shaquille Harrison ($3,800 FD) If I have 100 teams, I might put him in five. He isn’t starting but is getting increased usage when on the court. He got 18 FD points in 18 minutes last game.
2/22 NBA DFS Shooting Guard
- Zach LaVine ($9,400 FD) He is expensive but has a terrific matchup against Devin Booker defense in what should be an high scoring affair. If the Bulls are hanging in this one it is because LaVine is putting on a show. It may be hard to fit him if you are paying up at PG, but if you spend down you can easily get Zach and his upside.
- OUT
Jimmy Butler ($8,100 FD)Elite matchup in Miami for Butler, the only concern is a blowout against the Cavs. Narrative Bonus: They are retiring D Wade’s jersey tonight. IF you think this game gets away from the Cavs quick, you can pivot to - Duncan Robinson big bump with no Butler
- Kevin Huerter ($4,500 FD) Too cheap in the highest scoring game of the night. He should see close to 40 minutes here.
- Delon Wright ($3,800 FD) Luka, Kristaps are out. Load up on cheap Mavs
Added: Donovan Mitchel ($6,900 FD) Get’s to go against James Harden D. I have him under Jimmy Butler.
2/22 Small Forward
- Giannis Antetokounmpo ($11,300 FD)
- Kelly Oubre ($6,000 FD) FanDuel seems to keep underpricing small forwards. KO goes against the 27th ranked Chicago defense against the position.
- Tobias Harris ($6,300 FD) FanDuel refuses to raise this guys price after he constantly crushes value. Keep riding it.
- Tim Hardaway ($5,600 FD) He is going to get 35 minutes against his former team, who happens to be the defenseless Atlanta Hawks. Sometimes he breaks our heart, but the upside is there tonight. UPDATE: Kristaps is out. Hardaway just shot up the board.
- Dorian Finney-Smith ($4,000 FD) No Kristaps. He is going to get 35 minutes here. No issue playing both Mavs SF’s
- Cam Reddish ($4,400 FD) He gets a minutes bump with Hunter and Bembry out this game. He is hit or miss usually, and will be getting a decent amount of Tim Hardaway defense (that’s a negative), but in a high scoring game he should be able to hold his own and get you 25+.
- Kevin Porter ($4,600 FD) Love is out tonight and Porter is coming off an ejection game (narrative). He is in a good spot.
Punt: Cedi Osman ($3,700 FD) No Kevin Love
Punt 2: Justin Jackson ($3,500 FD) He is going to be forced to play with so many Mavs sitting out.
2/22 NBA DFS Power Forward
- OUT
Kristaps Porzingis ($9,000 FD)You play Power Forwards against the Hawks. I don’t care that he is coming off a B2B, not in this matchup. If he doesn’t get 45+ FD points here I would be surprised. - Maxi Kleber ($3,500 FD) LOCK OF THE SEASON
- John Collins ($7,600 FD) He has had a few “down” games (if 35 FD points is considered “down”) but he is a key piece on this Hawks team.
I do not care that Porzingis will be defending him half the time. Aaron Gordon and Vuc didn’t have any trouble with him last night.Again, this is going to be a high scoring game and I am heavily invested. - Bam Adebayo ($9,100 FD) If somehow the Cavs are able to stay in this one Bam would likely be your highest scoring PF, however that is not what my game script is predicting. A blowout seems imminent here, BUT even if it is Bam will have already contributed mightily to that point total. The All-Star is good for an easy 40 tonight, duplicating what he did last game is a bit of a stretch though.
- Larry Nance ($5,900 FD) Kevin Love is sitting out, this is always a positive for Nance. I have some blowout concern.
Punts in order: Thad Young, PJ Washington, Daniel Gafford
2/22 DFS Center
- ADDED: Rudy Gobert ($8,200 FD) Going against PJ Tucker
- DeAndre Ayton ($9,000 FD) He is a gamete decision. Keep an eye on the news.
- Tristan Thompson ($5,000 FD)
- Dewayne Dedmon ($4,500 FD)
- Boban Marjanovic ($3,500 FD) I think they free Boban tonight.. There is no Kristaps, Powell or WCS. I don’t see how he wouldn’t get on the court. High risk, high reward.
OUT Note: Willie Cauley-Stein ($3,600 FD) ONLY IF Kristaps were to sit which is not expected.
Punt: Cristiano Da Silva Felicio
