Happy Friday, RotoBallers! I hope you all had a wonderful week up to this point, and a great weekend is forthcoming! What a wild ride yesterday's trade deadline was, and it makes tonight's slate one of the craziest slates of the season! I'll do my best to navigate through everything to provide the best plays possible!
Tonight, we have ourselves an 11-game slate on this lovely Friday. With both FanDuel and DraftKings having multi-position eligibility players, we'll have to attack slates accordingly to make our lineups as optimal as possible. That's where I come in! I'll look to find my personal top plays and values for tonight's slate. Things can also change during the day, so I'll do my best to update you as news comes out!
Without further adieu, here is my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel and DraftKings on 2/10/22. Keep an eye on RotoBaller’s NBA injury news and also our full NBA injury report today to stay up to date before lineups are locked.

DraftKings and FanDuel Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Paul George, vs MIL (FD: $8,200, DK: $8,900)
I'll start tonight's slate off with Paul George. George will be "on an island" tonight, with Kawhi Leonard out and John Wall, Luke Kennard, and Reggie Jackson leaving town. While the reinforcements are on the way, it's safe to say the Clippers will be shorthanded tonight. PG is a 1.55 FanDuel and 1.56 DraftKings points per minute guy in this situation, though, and projects to a 29.65% usage rate across 37 minutes tonight.
Jalen Green, at MIA (FD: $7,400, DK: $6,900)
I'll take a look at Jalen Green next. Green is coming off of back-to-back monster performances, including a 41-point, two-rebound, and two-assist performance against the Kings on Wednesday night. The Rockets will be without Kevin Porter Jr. and traded away Eric Gordon and Garrison Matthews yesterday, which puts Green in a 0.96 FanDuel and 1.04 DraftKings point-per-minute situation. He projects to a 30.49% usage rate across 36 minutes tonight.
Collin Sexton, at TOR (FD: $5,200, DK: $4,000)
I'll wrap things up at the guard position with Collin Sexton. Sexton will now receive full-time point guard minutes with Mike Conley headed to Minnesota. Sexton isn't a "great" point-per-minute player, coming in as a 0.83 FanDuel and a 0.82 DraftKings per-minute guy in this spot. However, he is projected to a 20.74% usage rate across 31 minutes tonight, which should be enough for him to hit value at this price, especially on DraftKings.
Also consider: Chris Paul (FD: $8,100, DK: $7,900), Daishen Nix (FD: $4,300, DK: $3,300)

DraftKings and FanDuel Forwards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Giannis Antetokounmpo, at LAC (FD: $12,200, DK: $12,500)
I'll start things off at the forward positions with Giannis Antetokounmpo. Now, the Bucks will be playing the second leg of an LA back-to-back, but at least he won't have to deal with Kawhi Leonard. The Bucks will be without Joe Ingles, Bobby Portis, Jordan Nwora, and Serge Ibaka, with the last two moved yesterday, and Giannis is a 1.65 FanDuel and 1.7 DraftKings points per minute player in this situation. He projects to a whopping 38.94% usage rate across 34 minutes in tonight's showdown.
Bojan Bogdanovic, vs SA (FD: $6,600, DK: $6,300)
I'll take a look at Bojan Bogdanovic next. The Pistons made a questionable trade for James Wiseman, who will start for them eventually. They also traded Saddiq Bey, which makes me surprised how Bogdanovic was able to survive the day without being traded. In any case, Bogdanovic is a 0.89 FanDuel and 0.95 DraftKings points-per-minute player in this spot, and projects to a 23.82% usage rate across 35 minutes.
P.J. Washington, at BOS (FD: $5,800, DK: $5,900)
I'll wrap things up at the forward position with P.J. Washington. Washington has been benefitting from a fantasy perspective with Kelly Oubre, Cody Martin, and Gordon Heyward all taking turns missing games this season. The Hornets also traded Jalen McDaniels to the Sixers yesterday, leaving P.J. to take on a bunch of forward duty. He's just a 0.78 FanDuel and 0.79 DraftKings points-per-minute player in this spot, but projects to a 19.17% usage rate across 36 minutes tonight.
Also consider: Keldon Johnson (FD: $7,100, DK: $6,800), Torrey Craig (FD: $5,500, DK: $4,500)
DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Domantas Sabonis, vs DAL (FD: $9,500, DK: $10,300)
Last but not least, we'll take a look at Domantas Sabonis. The Kings didn't do a whole lot yesterday and are one of the healthiest teams in the NBA, so it's not necessarily like we're taking advantage of an uptick in usage or minutes here. However, we are taking advantage of what seems to be a really soft matchup for Sabonis. Dwight Powell has been playing better for Dallas of late, but I still think Sabonis should be able to handle him on the glass. Not only that, it appears the Mavs will be going small and playing Reggie Bullock at power forward this evening. I'll look to take advantage of Sabonis's 21.37% usage rate across 37 projected minutes tonight.
Also consider: Robert Williams (FD: $6,100, DK: $6,100)
