DFS NBA DraftKings Lineup Advice 2/24/19
This Sunday NBA slate is very small. That doesn’t make a lot of sense to me because what else are people going to do, watch the AAF? Maybe they are. Anyway, the margin for error is smaller on a small slate as there is less variance. Translation, one or two key players can make a huge difference and propel you to a victory. Anyway, on to the picks.

Top Plays
Nikola Jokic (Denver) $10,200 vs. LA. Clippers
At this point I have no idea who is really manning the center position for the Clip show. Boban has been sent to Philly, so I suppose it’s Marcin Gortat and Montrezl Harrell. It does not really matter, this a great spot for the Joker. While the Joker has only put up 44.25 fantasy points against the Clip show this season, this just feels like a stellar spot for him. The Clippers D is questionable and I see the Joker doing big things here.
Others to consider:Â
DeMar DeRozan $8,100 @ New York, Nikola Vucevic $9,700 versus Toronto, Pascal Siakam $7,100 versus Orlando

Isaiah Thomas (Denver) $3,800 vs. L.A. Clippers
I’m going out on a huge limb with this one, as Isaiah has played a whole two games with the Nuggets and is averaging 14.5 minutes a game. In those minutes though he has been super efficient and is averaging 12 points per game, and 17.5 fantasy points per game. Isaiah could lose you a GPP here, but also think at this price he could win you one. It’s a risk I am willing to take.

Mitchell Robinson $4,600 versus San Antonio, D.J. Augustin $4,300 versus Toronto, Marco Belinelli $3,800 @ New York
Neva Plays
Kawhi Leonard (Toronto) $9,500 vs. Orlando
The Neva Play on such a small slate is sort of a fool’s errand. Kawhi has struggled to the tune of 31.3 fantasy points per game against the Magic this season and there is always the risk he sits out. Once again, this is not a terrible play but I rather spend up for Vucevic or Jokic on this slate.
