NBA DFS Lineup Starter
To kickoff our fantasy basketball tips, here is an optimized lineup starter. We’re going starless in the sample again today, because we’re going to pick our star in the next segment. These are just a few guys to help you fill out your roster in different low-salary ranges.
DraftKings FantasyDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Tips.
Terry Rozier ($7,000) – 42 Projected Fantasy Points
Rozier was a trade deadline acquisition for Miami, and hasn’t worked out exactly as planned thus far. Regardless, he can score in bunches and should show out against Washington’s lack of defense.
Jordan Poole ($6,500) – 37 Projected Fantasy Points
Poole will probably be guarded by Rozier for most of the night. Our projection has him outperforming his season average of 28.5 fantasy points.
Saddiq Bey ($6,200) – 32 Projected Fantasy Points
The Hawks are in a bit of a bind right now, sitting at 10th in the East and scraping by without Trae Young. Bey’s shooting is important to the squad, and the shot’s been falling a little more consistently lately. He’s had at least 20 points in two of his last four games, and a 17-point near-double-double. It’s worth giving him a go.
Georges Niang ($4,400) – 21 Projected Fantasy Points
Niang has averaged 13 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists on 60% shooting from 3 over his last three games. Don’t miss out on another great performance at a great cost. The Cavaliers are still understaffed, and Niang is the kind of guy who can fit into any lineup. He’s going to play a lot, and there will be shots for him.
Star vs. Star ⭐️
To close our fantasy basketball tips, let’s help you pick an ace, or a captain if you’re into the DraftKings showdown modes. Those contests are single-game slates, so I’ll pick the top two guys from each and tell you which one to go for.
Bucks @ Clippers
⭐ Giannis Antetokounmpo ($18,600) : 54 projected fantasy points
Kawhi Leonard ($14,400): 43 projected fantasy points
Remember that the captain’s points are multiplied by 1.5, so you want to put someone in here who can fill it up. While these two players have similar value when you consider their salaries, Antetokounmpo is far more likely to reach high-scoring territory. He’s the right choice here since no one (including Paul George and Damian Lillard) can beat his value.
Pacers @ Magic
Tyrese Haliburton ($16,500): 39 projected fantasy points
⭐ Paolo Banchero ($15,900): 45 projected fantasy points
Don’t overthink this one. Haliburton has been struggling lately, and Banchero is on the rise. He’s projected to get more points and is cheaper. Neither guy is amazing value, but Banchero is the way to go.
Sixers @ Knicks
Both of these teams have been decimated by injuries to star players, and I refuse to list Tobias Harris as a star, so here is Jalen Brunson’s line. It’s not great, but he is really the only choice. He will also probably do better than this, our algorithm is factoring in a game where he only played one minute.
⭐ Jalen Brunson ($15,600): 34 projected fantasy points
Timberwolves @ Lakers
Anthony Edwards ($15,300): 47 projected fantasy points
⭐ Lebron James ($15,900): 52 projected fantasy points
It’s close, but James wins out here. Of course, the real determining factor will be who plays. Both of these gentlemen and Anthony Davis carry “questionable: tags. If none of those guys play, then I guess the move is to go for Rudy Gobert (46 projected fantasy points).
