DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – February 7

High Salary SF

Nicholas Batum – Charlotte Hornets ($7,600) :  There are only two high salary option at SF tonight and Batum is one of them. As we mentioned in the high salary SG section, Batum has been a bit cold of late and hasn’t topped 40 FP in a game since Jan. 27. But he’s played well against Brooklyn all year averaging over 40 FP per game against them. His salary dipped to $6,400 against the Jazz but shot up to $7,600 for tonight’s game. Batum was a must-play when Kemba Walker was out earlier this year, but his numbers suffered for most of February. Still, Batum has a great matchup against a team he’s had a lot of success against, and we know he can put up some huge games if he’s given the usage. He’s also excelled when playing on two days rest, which he is tonight.

Harrison Barnes – Dallas Mavericks ($6,400) :  HB is the only other option besides Batum at a salary of over $6K. He’s available to be played at SF or PF, though he is a bit out of place as a 4, at least on offense. Barnes is fairly steady and occasionally busts out for a big game or 40 FP of more, but like Eric Gordon at SG, Barnes relies too much on scoring to consistently post big numbers. I’ve listed him here because of the lack of big money options at SF and his favorable matchup tonight, but I prefer Batum here as well as some of the value SFs.
