DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – February 8, 2018
High Value SF
Markieff Morris, WAS vs BOS ($6,000): Morris continues his steady play for the Wizards. He’s been over value in seven straight and has posted 29 fantasy points in three straight. He needs 26 fantasy points to reach value on Thursday. He had, get this, 29 fantasy points against the Celtics on Christmas. Until he gives you less than 29 fantasy points, just assume that he’s going to give you 29 fantasy points. ***
Jonathon Simmons, ORL vs ATL ($5,400): Simmons posted 49.25 fantasy points against the Cavaliers on Tuesday. He’s listed as questionable with an ankle injury, but we was listed as questionable prior to Tuesday and looked just fine. His name has popped up in trade rumors. He had 47.75 fantasy points against the Hawks on Dec. 9. Assuming he is still on the team and he plays, he should give you 25-plus fantasy points once again on Thursday. ****
Jerami Grant, OKC at LAL ($4,800): Grant has been over value in six straight. He’s become a strong option off the Thunder bench and could be relied upon more than usual if the Thunder make a move at the deadline that leaves them shorthanded. He could also see more playing time if Carmelo Anthony is out. Grant had 23 fantasy points in 17 minutes against the Lakers on Sunday. He needs 20.8 fantasy points to reach value on Thursday. Expect another solid performance from the Thunder forward on Thursday. ***
