DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – February 7

High Value PF

Trevor Booker – Brooklyn Nets ($5,000) :  Booker went through a down period near the end of January, but he started off February with two solid games, followed by a huge game against the Raptors on Sunday, when he amassed 38 FP in just 26 minutes. It was his first 30+ FP game in weeks and Booker has since moved to the bench with Rondae Hollis-Jefferson starting. RHJ has been up and down though and it’s not surprising when Booker gets more run than him. On such a short slate with few high ceiling players at PF, Booker deserves your consideration tonight.

Dirk Nowitzki – Dallas Mavericks ($5,000) :  Dirk’s scoring output over the last four games: 9, 9, 8, 8. Four straight games not scoring in double digits is bizarre, even if he is no longer the prime Dirk. He had scored in double figures in 12 or 13 games before his mini-slump, including a couple of 30+ FP games. Dirk should start seeing double-digit shot attempts again, and his FP totals will go up in the process. As for tonight, the Mavs are the only team on a back-to-back and Dirk has not fared well in those situations this year. But he’s Dirk, he’s due, and he has a solid matchup tonight. If this was a big slate I wouldn’t consider him very much, but the pickings are slim at PF tonight.

Frank Kaminsky – Charlotte Hornets ($4,700) :  Throwing Kaminsky in your lineup might depend on the status of Cody Zeller, so keep an eye on that as we move closer to tip. Kaminsky started against Utah and played 32 minutes, the most he’s played since November. He put up 24 FP against Utah, 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-burger he put up against GS last week. Any big man playing 30+ minutes against Brooklyn at a value price deserves consideration.
