DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/10/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a 6 game NBA slate, which is a bit small for a Saturday, but there are some interesting options across the board. There are a number of injuries going around, so this should open up some value plays once we get the starting lineups.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 2/10/18. I play both cash and GPP, so I will be looking for both players who have consistency, along with value plays that have upside from a favorable match up, or other factors.

If you have any questions or comments, let me know @DFS_Tom on Twitter. You can also read more DFS advice and lineup picks for sites like FanDuel, and other sports too. Let's get to it.

DraftKings DFS Guards

Isaiah Thomas - PG, LAL @ DAL (DK - $5,600)

After a crazy NBA trade deadline, Thomas is now on the Lakers, and according to reports, will be making his Lakers debut tonight. This is a good spot for a first games, considering he is up against the Mavericks who are giving up 47 DraftKings points per game. He will likely be drawing the start, meaning his minutes should be locked in. During his last four games with the Cavaliers, he played 30 or more minutes in three of them, so expecting much of the same tonight.

Gary Harris - SG, DEN @ PHO (DK - $6,500)

Harris is up against the Suns, who are giving up 46 DraftKings points per game to shooting guards, which is dead last in the league. This is a prime spot for him, and with this game having an over-under of 219 points, you will want some exposure to this game. He has scored 31 or more DraftKings points in three straight games, and has plenty of tournament upside since he takes plenty of threes. He has a 22% usage rate, along with averaging 0.88 fantasy points per minute this season.

 

DraftKings DFS Forwards

Giannis Antetokounmpo - SF, MIL @ ORL (DK - $10,800)

Antetokounmpo has a 32% usage rate along with averaging 1.46 fantasy points per minute this season, and has triple-double potential nearly every night. He is up against the Magic in a game which has an over-under of 207 points, putting him a good spot. The Magic are one of the weaker teams in the league when it comes to defense, so reason to fade him on a slate like tonight. He has scored 50 or more DraftKings points in two of his last three games, and is the most expensive player on the slate, but a nice GPP option tonight.

LaMarcus Aldridge - PF, SA @ GS (DK - $8,200)

Aldridge has a massive 32% usage rate for the Spurs, since they are dealing with so many injuries. He is up against the Warriors, making this a pace up spot for him, which is good, since they are giving up 48 DraftKings points per game to power forwards. He has put up 40 or more DraftKings points in three of his last four games, and with this having an over-under of 218, we will have plenty of offense. Great cash game option, and is simply too cheap for the role he plays on this offense.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

Dario Saric - C, PHI vs LAC (DK - $6,700)

Since Joel Embiid played last night, he is questionable to play tonight, as they often sit him on the second night of a back to back. Saric has center eligibility on DraftKings and has a 4% increase in usage when Embiid is off the court. The Clippers are giving up 51 DraftKings points to centers, so if Saric is slotted into that spot in the lineup, he has plenty of chance to succeed. Plenty of consistency from him, along with increased usage tonight makes a nice combo.
