DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-February 5

High Value PF

Jordan Hill-Indiana Pacers (5,900): Hill didn’t play very much against the Nets finishing with just 19 minutes despite Ian Mahinmi missing that contest. In the two games before that, Hill had played over 35 minutes in Mahinmi’s absence and had posted 33.5 fantasy points and 45.75 fantasy points. He will be in a good matchup and probably have to play much more tonight against Al Horford and Paul Millsap who bring plenty of size to the frontcourt.  His minutes aren’t guaranteed as we saw on Wednesday, but he’s a good play tonight if you’re trying to save money since Mahinmi has already been ruled out. ∗∗

Tristan Thompson-Cleveland Cavaliers (5,200): Thompson has been a part of the Cavs starting five lately nd has been playing pretty heavy minutes as a result.  He had strung together three strong games of 20+ fantasy points before laying an egg on Wednesday with just nine fantasy points. He should be able to bounce back against the Celtics tonight and he’s a threat for a double-double any night as long as he keeps his current role. ∗∗

Bobby Portis-Chicago Bulls (4,000): Portis has played over 20 minutes in three of his last four games although he hasn’t put together any huge numbers. He could be lined up for even better things tonight depending on the availability of Pau Gasol (questionable), but if he can get minutes against the Nuggets you have to like his upside. With Gasol-∗ No Gasol-∗∗∗∗
