After a one week hiatus, we're back to double digit game action with 11 games on the docket. Despite 22 teams playing tonight, just Miami, Boston and Minnesota are on the back end of a back to back. As of this writing, there are quite a few games without spreads or even over/unders listed, but of those that have been posted, there are enticing ones with high totals. A few games in particular that I'm targeting are: Detroit at Boston (210), Orlando at Oklahoma City (211.5), and certainly Golden State at Washington (224.5).
In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for FanDuel for 2/3/16. The picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays.
Let's get to the good stuff.

FanDuel DFS Point Guards
Russell Westbrook (vs ORL, $10,900)
To say that Russ has been a monster these last few contests would be a gross understatement. His DFS price tag has risen $500 in the past 10 days, but it still hasn't caught up to his production. In that same stretch, Westbrook has averaged 6.22 points over his salary implied projections. Tonight, he's got favorable matchup with a Magic backcourt that doesn't do their part in slowing down opposing point guards too often.
Also Consider: Kyrie Irving (at CHR, $6,900)
FanDuel DFS Shooting Guards
Monta Ellis (at BKN, $6,900)
Ellis has nearly put up Westbrook-like fantasy point totals over the last week, twice eclipsing the 50 point total in hist last three games. Even with the increased production and salary bump, I really like his chances to far exceed his price implied point total tonight against the Nets' abysmal defense. Joe Johnson hasn't covered a soul since 2007, and Ellis could have a field day spotting up without a hand in his face.
Also Consider: Jimmy Butler (at SAC, $8,800)
FanDuel DFS Small Forwards
Robert Covington (vs ATL, $5,100)
It appears Mr. Covington has finally carved out a solid role in this Sixers offense, and as a result, he's producing relatively gaudy stat lines for someone priced under $6k. In his last 10 games, he's exceeded value nine times and by an average of 8.81 points. The fact that he's still available at $5,100 is incredible. What's more incredible, aside from his big rebounding numbers, is the reality that he's playing 35+ minutes a game recently. Back in early January, there were games when Covington didn't even record double digit minutes. Tonight, he faces the Hawks and they're currently allowing more points to opposing small forwards than any other team in action Wednesday.
Also Consider: Kevin Durant (at ORL, $10,500)
Value Play: Stanley Johnson (at BOS, $4,000)
FanDuel DFS Power Forwards
Thaddeus Young (vs IND, $6,300)
Anytime you can get Young in the ballpark of 6,500 (or less in this case), he's a guy you have to consider. His high rebounding numbers create such a nice fantasy point floor, and if the shots are falling, he can put up the type of numbers to help you take down a tournament. Tonight I don't think he'll have much trouble cleaning up the glass against a banged-up Indiana frontcourt, and he certainly creates a matchup problem with the Pacers.
Also Consider: Aaron Gordon (at OKC, $5,200)
FanDuel DFS Centers
Jahlil Okafor (vs ATL, $6,400)
He hasn't become the GPP-type player I was hoping he would be, but Okafor has been productive and efficient in 2016. At this price, and with such a high usage rate, I think he's a fine cash game option this evening. I'm not big into looking at past performance in head to head matchups to influence my lineup decision making, but I was curious to see how he fared the last time he squared off with Al Horford, and I was pretty impressed. In that contest, he put up 30.4 fantasy points in just 26 minutes of floor time.
Also Consider: Andre Drummond (at BOS, $8,700)
