Which NBA lineup should you consider for Feb. 27 on DraftKings? We have a litany of options for you to roll with.
The NBA presents a seven-game slate tonight and DraftKings has a tourney where a $4 entry could earn you $100K. You’ll have to figure out which studs are the best plays tonight and where you can find value. We’re here to help with that. Karl-Anthony Towns, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Stephen Curry, and James Harden are a few of the big names on the board tonight. Let’s check out what’s hot and what’s not.
To keep up with all of FanSided’s DFS NBA coverage head over to the fantasy basketball hub where each day you can find a post like this tailored for DraftKings as well as one specifically designed for usage on FanDuel. In this post, all salary and “fantasy points” references are to DraftKings scoring system and salaries. If you have any additional questions or thoughts or are looking for updates as we approach tipoff, follow @FanSidedFantasy on Twitter or you can follow my account @matt_locascio.
Let’s take a look at your best options for both studs and value players at each position.
High Salary PG
Kyrie Irving – Cleveland Cavaliers ($9000): Kyrie shoots the ball exceptionally at home hitting 50 percent from the floor and 40 percent from long range. He’s consistently above 40 FP and went off for 58 FP against the Bulls on Saturday. The possibility remains that LeBron will sit this one out, which means it’ll be Kyrie City tonight as Kevin Love remains out. Kyrie will also try to take it to former teammate Matthew Dellavedova.
Ricky Rubio – Minnesota Timberwolves ($6600): Rubio has scored 40 or more FP in four of his last six games. Tonight he gets the Kings and I like the idea of stacking Rubio with Wiggins and Towns. I think this game goes well over the 212 total given by Vegas, and Rubio’s game has been elevated since the Zach LaVine injury.
