DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 2/1/16

By Keith Allison from Hanover, MD, USA (LeBron James) [CC BY-SA 2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons

February is here and it's still hard not to pick on the Sacramento Kings. In Daily Fantasy, we must keep our sympathy and compassion out of the equation. The Brooklyn Nets and Washington Wizards are also set to take the court on Monday, both of which are also easily targeted in DFS.

Tonight's lineup features very affordable plays, and players hoping to take advantage of injuries and matchups.

Check out my Daily NBA picks for DraftKings, 2/1/16.

DraftKings DFS Point Guards

Michael Carter-Williams (at SAC, $6,400)

The Sacramento Kings have given up over 110 points in four straight losses, two of which exceeded over 120. The Kings have also relinquished the second most fantasy points to point guards this season. You'll start to notice a specific pattern to this lineup very quickly. MCW has been rather inconsistent of late but is more than capable of breaking out for Daily Fantasy lineups, without necessarily putting the ball in the hoop a tremendous amount. MCW recently posted 31.0 fantasy points in only 26 minutes, scoring only nine points. His versatility boosts his value, as he's prone to also rebound, assist, block, and steal.

Brandon Jennings (at BKN, $4,000)

Jennings is coming off his best on-the-court and fantasy performance in over ten games. Against the Toronto Raptors on Saturday, Jennings scored 22 points, consisting of five three-pointers on 11 attempts. The Raptors are obviously a much better team than the Brooklyn Nets, and most of Jennings' production came during a stretch in which the Pistons were playing catchup. Either way, with the inconsistent play of Pistons starting point guard, Reggie Jackson, and the likeliness of the Pistons taking an early lead against the Nets, Jennings should see plenty of court time.

 

DraftKings DFS Shooting Guards

Khris Middleton (at SAC, $7,100)

The Kings have also given up the second most fantasy points to shooting guards this season. With the exception of the Bucks' last game against the Heat on Friday, Middleton has been hot, posting over 30 fantasy points in nine of ten games. Middleton plays well over 30 minutes a night and is still relatively cheap to not break the bank and reach plenty of value. He has also dropped more than 20 points in seven of ten games, and is a consistent rebounds, assists, and steals candidate.

Dion Waiters (vs WAS, $4,400)

Waiters has been starting for the injured Andre Robinson and has been consistently producing enough for his price. Now while his price has jumped quite a bit out of the $3,000 range, Waiters has hit 19+ fantasy points in three straight. It's always a plus starting for such an explosively offensive team, and an even bigger plus that the Washington Wizards have relinquished the most fantasy points to shooting guards this season. Waiters has also scored in double-digits in three straight and is a threat from behind the arc, draining eight of 14 over that span.

 

DraftKings DFS Small Forwards

Rudy Gay (vs MIL, $6,800)

While the Kings have struggled defensively, the Bucks have issues on that side of the court as well. Milwaukee has allowed the second most fantasy points to small forwards this season. Gay has recently missed a pair of games but has scored over 20 points in two straight, while posting over 30 fantasy points in eight of his last ten games. The Kings versus the Bucks spells high-scoring and should result in plenty of bloated fantasy stat-lines for several players, including Gay.

LeBron James (at IND, $9,700)

Do we ever need a reason to draft King James in Daily Fantasy? Well, yes, considering his price is coming close to tipping past $10,000, and at this point, let's hope it does because that'll means LeBron's heavy production has continued. James has always been a threat to fill the scoresheet, averaging closer to the side of triple-doubles his entire career, and has scored 20-plus in six straight games. LeBron will likely be in a battle with another one of the league's best, Paul George.

 

DraftKings DFS Power Forwards

Quincy Acy (vs MIL, $3,100)

With DeMarcus Cousins' health in question, Quincy Acy could very well step up and start on Monday against the Bucks. While Omri Casspi and Willy Cauley-Stein likely to benefit more from Cousins' potential absence, Acy is still extremely cheap and more than capable of producing for Daily Fantasy based on his rebounding abilities. Acy did break out for over 20 fantasy points in two straight games earlier in the month, and could come close to those numbers with an increase in minutes. Monitor the status of Cousins before using Acy for tournament-play.

David West (vs ORL, $4,200)

West is another extremely cheap option at the four-spot, and could also benefit from an injury on his team. With Tim Duncan likely set to miss another on Monday, West could once again step into the starting five. West has not been blowing anybody away with his performances but is another candidate capable of producing just enough for his price, while freeing up cap space for the bigger names on Monday's card.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

Myles Turner (vs CLE, $5,800)

Turner's price has skyrocketed over $2,000 in the past ten games, and will continue to rise if he continues his red-hot fantasy production. Turner has posted 30-plus fantasy points in five of seven games. The rookie out of Texas has tallied at least one block in seven straight games, 19 total in that span, and over six rebounds in six of seven. Whether he's inserted into the starting lineup or not, Turner makes for a solid tournament and head-to-head play any time his sneakers touch the court.
