DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/27/18): NBA DFS Lineups

Tuesday brings us another decent slate of six games, but be warned that most of the games tonight are in jeopardy of being blowouts. If there was one game to stack it's the Nuggets-Clippers. It's going to be a high-scoring contest and there is decent guard value spread out. Nikola Jokic, LeBron James, Joel Embiid, Kemba Walker, and Giannis Antetokounmpo round out the superstar must-plays for tonight and Walker will most likely get you the most for his value.

Tonight is a funky slate and the overhead view isn't much better. Wide spreads and teams that don't have entirely set rotations. Whether these teams are still putting the pieces together or figuring out their younger foundation, there is a good amount of risk littered throughout. It might be the case every night, but tonight in particular bothers me from matchup standpoint. Do not be surprised if players you might not have expected start uptrends tonight.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 2/27/18. These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options, to lower-priced players and value picks on DraftKings. Feel free to stop by the Hoops Chat Room or on Twitter @HalfCourtJester, let's get rolling.

DraftKings DFS Guards

Milos Teodisic - PG/SG, at DEN ($4,200)

Milos Teodisic is one of the better playmakers on the team and continues to make the extra pass on the Clippers possessions. As long as he is getting minutes he will produce, especially against the Nuggets, who struggle against opposing guards. Teodisic has managed to be productive every game, but when he is hitting his shots, he becomes an ideal sleeper pick. The Clippers have not really needed Teodisic to generate offense on his own, but when he does, he's efficient. He had a rough outing last game, but he will rebound and carry the team's production along with Lou Williams.

Jeremy Lamb - SG/SF, vs CHI ($4,500)

Jeremy Lamb's production has taken a serious hit on a general scale, but still has value in spot-starts. He is capable of exploding any night and has proven to have a knack for knocking down shots in succession. Lamb will produce every night and it's nearly a guarantee against the Bulls since they have decided to go young. He benefits from garbage-time and will continue to be the top bench option for Charlotte. His price seems a little high given the uncertainty of his minutes every night, but the team looks to feed him the ball to get him going. This will be the case tonight and he should have no problem getting off plenty of uncontested looks.

 

DraftKings DFS Forwards

Marvin Williams - SF/PF, vs CHI ($3,900)

I didn't mean to consecutively pick another Hornet, but it happens. Frank Kaminsky and Marvin Williams have been competing for minutes all season, and while they don't directly pull from each other, their production is somewhat relative. They are both streaky three-point shooters and the Hornets will give extra minutes to whoever is hitting on that particular night. Kaminsky had the "hotter-hand" against the Pistons, but Williams still scraped at a triple-double. He has been a big part of the defensive structure of the team and receives a majority of his minutes based on that. While Williams defense won't be a turning point in this game, he has upside in every category.

Dante Cunningham - SF/PF, vs ORL ($3,500)

Dante Cunningham went bananas two games ago and while that won't happen again, there is no reason he shouldn't have similar opportunities to produce. His role in Brooklyn is solidified and it's evident he's going to get chances moving forward. What makes Cunningham so valuable is his ability to contribute in just about every category that isn't points. He knows his strengths and there are few players that play to that as well as he does. Trevor Booker and Enes Kanter might have something to say about that, but if Cunningham manages to have another one of his miraculous performances, he will exceed projected with ease and it's not the wildest prediction against the Magic, who are on the second night of a back-to-back.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

DeAndre Jordan - C, at DEN ($7,900)

The Clippers and Nuggets will be engaged in a high-scoring game and you can already bet DeAndre Jordan rebounding numbers will be thankful. Since Jordan is in a frontcourt by himself, it's hard not to roster him every night. There are cheaper centers available, but none of them are nearly as trust-worthy as Jordan. If you need value take a look at Marcin Gortat, but spending up on Jordan is the ideal path. If it's any indication of how matchup proof Jordan is, he grabbed 21 rebounds against the leagues best rebounding team a few games ago. He might have to play an extra amount of defense, but you can be sure he'll be grabbing every board he can in the process.
