DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-February 6
High Value PF
Markieff Morris-Phoenix Suns (6,100): Morris started for the Suns against the Rockets on Thursday but only managed 14 points on 4-of-12 shooting. The Earl Watson-led Suns definitely are going to try and get him the ball often and he’ll have a chance to put up big numbers like he did on Tuesday with 30 points and 58.75 fantasy points. Hopefully other owners will move on from Morris after his last game, but I like him to have a good game tonight even though the Jazz are a tough matchup down low. ∗∗∗∗∗
Marvin Williams-Charlotte Hornets (5,300): Williams has been in beast mode lately and mage 12-17 shots last night against Miami on his way to 27 points in 32 minutes for a total of 38 fantasy points. He has at least 35 fantasy points in three of his last four games, and he should be able to attack the smaller front court of the Wizards in what should be a high-scoring game in Charlotte. ∗∗∗∗
Tristan Thompson-Cleveland Cavaliers (5,200): Thompson scored only three points last night against the Celtics but still ended up an OK fantasy option since he had 21.5 fantasy points thanks to his ten rebounds and two blocks. He continues to run with the Cavs starters and is a good play tonight against the Pelicans who allow the third-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing centers. Thompson could be in for a heavier workload than usual if Kevin Love is out tonight. No Love-∗∗∗∗ With Love-∗∗∗
Bobby Portis-Chicago Bulls (4,000): Portis played over 20 minutes for the fourth time in his last five games last night helping to fill in for Pau Gasol and notching 23.75 fantasy points in eight points, seven rebounds, two assists, and two steals. Tonight Gasol’s status is still unclear but it looks like Jimmy Butler could e out meaning the Bulls could be looking for offense. Portis had enough upside to be a solid play against the T-Wolves, but he will be especially attractive if Gasol is forced to miss tonight’s game as well. With Gasol-∗∗ No Gasol-∗∗∗∗∗
