DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – February 8, 2018
High Salary C
Dwight Howard, CHA at POR ($8,300): With the addition of Willy Hernangomez, there is a chance that Dwight Howard is moved on Thursday. He’s been hit-and-miss on this road trip. He had 51.5 fantasy points against the Suns, but only 30.25 fantasy points against the Nuggets. The Trail Blazers are 18th against the position in their last 15 games. He had 40.25 fantasy points against the Blazers on Dec. 16. He should be around 40 fantasy points once again, assuming he’s still on the team. ***
Draymond Green, GS vs DAL ($7,800): Green is listed as probable after undergoing some dental work on Wednesday. He had 33 fantasy points in 26 minutes against the Thunder on Tuesday. If Kevin Durant, listed as questionable with a hand injury, is out, that would do wonders for Green’s value. He would be the primary point forward and defensive anchor. He had 44.75 fantasy points against the Mavericks on Jan. 3. ****
Steven Adams, OKC at LAL ($6,700): Adams posted 33 fantasy points against the Warriors on Tuesday. He was held to 29.75 fantasy points against the Lakers on Sunday. It’s tough see him being held to five rebounds like he was in that contest. Assuming his rebounding numbers are up, his scoring should remain in the double-digits. He needs 30.8 fantasy points to reach value in this one. Expect him to be around that number as he collects another double-double. ****
