DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-February 3
High Value C
Nikola Jokic-Denver Nuggets (5,700): Speaking of Jokic… he has posted four double-doubles in his last five games and has at least 37 fantasy points in five of his last six. He’s emerging as a very solid option for Denver, but the only danger is that he does have to deal with the tough defensive interior of the Jazz and the “Stifle Tower” tonight. ∗∗∗
Gorgui Dieng-Minnesota Timberwolves (5,700): Dieng has been starting for the T-Wolves with Kevin Garnett sidelined and he has been playing well. He has played over 37 minutes in each of his last three games and has at least 31 fantasy points in each of his last four with over 22 in eight of his last nine. He’s a low-risk play against the Clippers tonight and a solid option as long as he continues to start for Minnesota. ∗∗∗
Tyler Zeller-Boston Celtics (3,000): No one could have predicted Tyler Zeller playing 27 minutes against the Knicks last night and finishing with an impressive 16 points and ten boards on his way to 31 fantasy points. He actually has played well when given minutes, but that hasn’t happened often at all. Will it happen again tonight? Only Brad Stevens knows for sure, but he’s the best punt play available at any position tonight.∗
