DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-February 18

High Value SG

Jamal Crawford-Los Angeles Clippers (5,100): Crawford was becoming a regular in my DraftKings daily picks before the All Star break and he’s back for more tonight even though he’s taking on the Spurs.  Crawford scored at least 18 points in each of his last six games before the break and is getting some extra playing time while Austin Rivers is out.  Crawford had 30.25 fantasy points against Boston in his last game before the break and posted at least that many in five of his last six games.  He is in a rough matchup, but I still like him to provide some scoring spark against San Antonio making him worth a look especially since the game isn’t in San Antonio where the Spurs defense is at its best. ∗∗∗

J.J. Redick-Los Angeles Clippers (4,900): Another Clippers SG that makes a solid mid-range play tonight is J.J. Redick who had at least 20 points and 27 fantasy points in four of his last six games before the break.  He definitely has the green light and can pour in points, but his non-scoring numbers can sometimes disappear which does raise the risk on Redick even though he is a starter while Crawford comes off the bench. ∗∗∗

Danny Green-San Antonio Spurs (4,700): Green is getting extra playing time and offensive work while Manu Ginobili recovers from the injury that shall not be discussed. Green had at least 23 fantasy points in four of his last five games before the break including a very nice 36.75 fantasy points against the Heat.  He contributes in a variety of categories and should be able to find space to get his shot going tonight in LA since the Clippers don’t defend opposing wings very well.  ∗∗∗∗
