DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – February 7

High Value C

Mason Plumlee – Portland Trailblazers ($5,900) : Plumlee’s salary has dipped below $6K again, which means he’s cooled off considerably of late. He’s averaged 30 FP per game against Dallas this year in three contests, and he is able to fill out the stat sheet. He’s a good passer, can block some shots, and runs the floor very well. He also doesn’t put up too many stinkers, so he’s never going to completely ruin a lineup even if he doesn’t go big. But with Dallas on a back-to-back and no Andrew Bogut to worry about, I expect Plumlee to surpass 30 FP tonight, if not breakout for even more.

Frank Kaminsky – Charlotte Hornets ($4,700) : As we previously mentioned, putting Kaminsky in your lineup might depend on the status of Cody Zeller, so keep an eye on that as we move toward tip. Kaminsky started against Utah and played 32 minutes, the most he’s played since November. He put up 24 FP against them, and they are one of the best frontcourt defending teams in the NBA. His matchup gets much easier tonight against the Nets and if Zeller is out I definitely want a 30+ minutes Kaminsky in my lineups. He’s good for the occasional big game, evidenced by the 40+ effort he had against GS last week. Any big man playing 30+ minutes against Brooklyn at a value price deserves consideration.

Nene Hilario – Houston Rockets ($3,100) :  Nene dialed back the clock for a bit last week with back-to-back 30+ FP games. Houston does have Clint Capela back and he’s been getting 30+ minutes per game recently, and they also have Montrezl Harrell. So Nene is a risky play but quite possibly a sneaky one too. Orlando does an awful job defending against opposing centers and Nene usually adds value when he gets enough run. That’s the big question you have to answer before adding him tonight. If you think he gets 20 or so minutes tonight after sitting out the last game, then he should be in play at just $3,100.
