DraftKings NBA picks February 25: Giannis or the Brow?

We have another strong seven game slate for our DraftKings NBA tournaments tonight. The Bucks are playing a back to back, so watch out for resting players. Giannis detests load management, but the Bucks may have other plans. Even if he does sit, the Lakers and Nuggets are still on the slate, so we have other high dollar items to chase. First, let’s see who’s missing out on tonight’s fun.

Out: Damian Lillard (groin), Steph Curry (hand), Klay Thompson (knee), Victor Oladipo (back), Richaun Holmes (shoulder), Marvin Bagley (foot), Otto Porter (foot), Lauri Markkanen (pelvis), Luke Kennard (knee), Jeremy Lamb (knee), Norman Powell (finger), Chandler Hutchison (shoulder), Marc Gasol (hamstring), Kris Dunn (knee), Luke Kornet (ankle), Dewan Hernandez (ankle), Kyle Korver (back), Rodney Hood (Achilles), Jusuf Nurkic (leg), Zach Collins (shoulder), Robert Williams (hip), Denzel Valentine (hip), Andre Roberson (knee), Darius Bazley (knee), Bol Bol (foot), Blake Griffin (knee), Darius Miller (Achilles), Kenrich Williams (back).

Questionable: Kemba Walker (knee), Marquese Chriss (calf), Draymond Green (pelvis), Bruce Brown (knee), Brook Lopez (back), Wendell Carter (ankle), Patrick McCaw (illness), Markieff Morris (just signed), Turd Ferguson (back).

It is believed that Markieff will make his Lakers debut tonight, but it’s not clear how much he will actually play.

I was sitting pretty good thanks to DSJ, Embiid, and Harden, but Brandon Clarke leaving early in the first and not returning ruined what was going to be a really good lineup. I was all in on Clarke, so I was all out of the money. You can’t survive a 0.75 at only 27.7% ownership.

fjbourne took it down with 386.5 DraftKings points. He built with DSJ, Embiid, Harden, and Bam and got the huge value out of Josh Jackson, Nunn, Porter, and Horford.

Just because you don’t see someone on here doesn’t mean they aren’t a good play. I only have so much room, and I’m not going anyone a favor if I recommend more than half of the players at a position. If you have a feeling about someone, by all means, follow that. I mostly follow numbers and trends.
