DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – February 13, 2018
High Salary SF
Paul George, OKC vs CLE ($9,900): George has been over value in four straight. With Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony out in the last two games, George has stepped up on both ends of the court. If they remain out on Tuesday, George will continue to be the number-one option in the Thunder offense. The return of Westbrook would help George’s game. He had 49.75 fantasy points against the Cavaliers on Jan. 20. He should be over 45 fantasy points once again and will likely edge closer to 50 fantasy points. *****
Khris Middleton, MIL vs ATL ($7,400): After missing value in four straight, Middleton was 13 fantasy points over value on Saturday, delivering 44.75 fantasy points against the Magic. The Hawks are 26th against small forwards in their last 15 games. Middleton had 53.75 fantasy points against the Hawks on Oct. 29, although that game was too early in the season to mean a whole lot. Hopefully, he’s out of his mini-slump and is back to his value hitting ways. ****
Will Barton, DEN vs SA ($6,600): After a 14 fantasy point effort against the Rockets, Barton bounced back with 43.25 fantasy points against the Suns. His salary has dropped due to the matchup. He needs 28.7 fantasy points to reach value on Tuesday. He’s averaging 25.4 fantasy points in two games against the Spurs but did have 28.25 fantasy points against them on Jan. 30 as a starter. He came off the bench in the other game. The Spurs are on a back-to-back and the Nuggets are a strong team at home. ***
