FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – Feb. 24

The NBA has a robust 10 games in tonight’s DFS fantasy basketball competitions. Get your team in the game with FanSided’s FanDuel daily picks.

The NBA has its first full night after the All-Star Break on Friday, with 10 games on the docket. The action starts at 7:00 PM ET with the Wizards at the 76ers and the Grizzlies at the Pacers. An hour later there are six more games tipping, including the Mavericks at the Timberwolves, the Lakers at the Thunder, the Suns at the Bulls, the Jazz at the Bucks, the Heat at the Hawks and the Celtics at the Raptors. At 9:00 the Nets are in Denver, followed by the night cap of the Spurs at the Clippers.

There are a ton of great storylines on Friday, as for many teams this is the first game after both the break and the trade deadline. As such, Friday will give us our first views of Serge Ibaka in a Raptors uniform, our first glimpse at the Lakers backcourt without Lou Williams, and possibly new faces like Taj Gibson in Oklahoma or Nerlens Noel in Dallas. Dario Saric is now the focal point of the 76ers after they traded away two big men, have another sitting, and yet a fourth announced today as out for the year. Yogi Ferrell, meanwhile, has re-taken the Mavericks point guard keys from the now departed Deron Williams. Lots of new things to see, as we get started on the stretch run of the season.

My favorite plays of the day can be found on the following slides in FanSided’s FanDuel daily picks. Each day in order to offer a variety of price points at each position, you can find two slides for each position–one for high-salary options and one for high-value options. Each pick is ranked on a scale of 1-5 stars to indicate the confidence in the pick. The final slide of this post has more detail on what each level means, but in short, more stars means more confidence in the selection on a points-per-dollar basis.

Important note, every day the goal of this post is not to give you a copy-and-paste lineup. Instead, each selection is given while highlighting the factors you need to consider when building a customized lineup for yourself. If you want to see an example lineup, you can find it on the final slide of the post, but I suggest you adjust your lineup to fit your personal taste.
