DFS NBA DraftKings Lineup Advice 2/27/19
Can we get a big shout out for one of my personal favorites, Karl-Anthony Towns? KAT destroyed Sacramento after being out due to a car accident. I didn’t play him because I was not sure he would play, but good for KAT. Also, Ja Rule just cursed the T’Wolves to years of losing, and having KAT leave via free agency so there is that also, now to the picks..

Top Plays
LeBron James (LA Lakers) $11,100 vs. New Orleans
This pick is fairly obvious, but I can’t help myself. The Pelicans are a disaster, LeBron is mad at his teammates, and I believe equally if not more mad that he could not coerce the Pelicans to send The Brow to the Lakers. This lines up as a huge spot for the King. He’s averaging 65 fantasy points per game against the Pelicans this year, and I see him exceeding that here.
Others to consider:
Bradley Beal $8,900 @ Brooklyn (under 9,000 and I am done doubting you Bradley Beal), Lauri Markkanen $8,600 @ Memphis, Julius Randle $7,800 @ L.A. Lakers (revenge, plus does anyone else still play for the Pelicans?)

Brook Lopez (Milwaukee) $4,500 @ Sacramento
Can a pick feel so wrong, but be so right? This one is, especially if no Giannis. Marvin Bagley III is not known for his defense, and I feel like Dave Joerger is developing an irrational hatred of Willie Cauley-Stein. All that means is that it’s time for Bro Lo! Bro Lo only put up 19.5 fantasy points per the Bucks against the Kings earlier this year, but this is a better spot. Bro Lo hasn’t been under 25 fantasy points in a game in two weeks, and should get at least that here.

Others to consider:
Kelly Olynyk $4,900 vs. Golden State, Joakim Noah $4,800 vs. Chicago (super revenge), Delon Wright $4,100 versus Chicago
Neva Plays
Steph Curry (Golden State) $9,100 @ Miami
Steph Curry’s usage takes a significant hit with Boogie Cousins in the lineup, this we know. The Heat’s pace is eh, and can slow down even the Warriors. While you never know when Steph might erupt for a massive game, I don’t think this is the best spot for him. I will glad take Bradley Beal instead at 8900.
