DFS NBA DraftKings Lineup Advice 2/13/19
Congratulations to me for nailing both the Paul George and Larry Nance Jr. picks on the Monday Night Slate. As I have said many times, player selection is often more of an art than a science. It feels good when you really hit on a few. We have a nice 11 game slate on Wednesday Night, so let’s get to it!

Top Plays
Nikola Jokic (Denver) $10,100 vs. Sacramento
So many great picks on this slate it’s hard to know where to start. Sacramento is a fun team to target and the Joker is priced at somewhat of a discount. While the Joker is only averaging 48.1 fantasy points per game against the Kings this season, I feel like he is poised for a breakout game here and is an outstanding spot!
Others to consider:
Joel Embiid $10,600 @ New York, D’Angelo Russell $8,500 @ Cleveland, Chris Paul $7,600 @ Minnesota

Kevin Knox (New York Knicks) $4,900 vs. Philadelphia
Shout out to my Tampa homeboy Kevin Knox. I watched him play in High School and have really enjoyed what he has done for the Knicks this season. Kevin Knox is way too cheap at $4,900 and has averaged 31.3 fantasy points per game against the 76ers this season. While David Fizdale’s crazy rotations can never fully be trusted, Knox is just too cheap here.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander $4,600 versus Phoenix, Shabazz Napier $4,300 @ Cleveland, Joakim Noah $4,000 @ Chicago (revenge, and he’s back and better than ever)
Neva Plays
Andre Drummond (Detroit) $9,100 @ Boston
This is not a terrible pick, but Andre Drummond’s home/road splits are eh, plus Boston plays good D. Drummond has averaged 45.7 fantasy points in games against the Celtics this year which puts us well below the 5X return we are looking for. If he was priced in the mid 8,000’s I would feel very differently, but I just can’t justify paying over 9,000 for Drummond here.
