DFS NBA DraftKings Lineup Advice 2/18/2021
I finally had my first bad article of the year, all of my fades went off, my stars weren’t great either, however I’m ready to bounce back.
Be sure to check out today’s NBA Spreadsheet with projections. You can find it here.
Guards
Top Play | James Harden ($10,600)
James Harden will still be my favorite Brooklyn Net for as long as Kevin Durant is off the floor. Durant has already been ruled out which gives Harden the keys yet again. Kyrie should play in this game and I think he is viable at sub 9k ($8,900).
Mid-tier | Fred VanVleet ($7,900)
Kyle Lowry may sit this one out if he does I’ll have interest in Fred VanVleet, if he plays I won’t be interested. Pay attention to the news on this one y’all.
Value | Tyler Herro ($5,900)
Tyler Herro is playing a ton of minutes, even off the bench he is playing 35-40 minutes. Herro is my favorite value on the slate.
Fade | De’Aaron Fox ($8,500)
De’Aaron Fox is slightly over priced in my opinion, not by much but I think we can go elsewhere. I also believe The Heat will turn their season around eventually, maybe it starts tonight.

Dennis Schroder ($5,800)
Forwards
Top Play | Lebron James ($10,200)
Lebron James should get up for this one. The Lakers vs The Nets game could be a Finals preview, unfortunately this match-up will be with out Kevin Durant and Anthony Davis. Lebron will continue to be a big beneficiary of AD being out. Lebron and Harden should both around 11k in my opinion. Ranking the studs
- Lebron James
- Giannis Antetokoumpo
- James Harden
Mid-tier | Pascal Siakim ($7,600)
Pascal Siakim has played well in this match-up at times and sub-par at times. Siakim remians fairly cheap I think I’d like to get here is the salary lets me.
Value | Marvin Bagley ($4,800)
Marvin Bagley I can almost promise you will be in my line-up, at sub 5k on a slate that looks to lack value outside of Herro and Bagley I think I want to have some Bagley.
Fade | Kyle Kuzma ($6,700)
Kyle Kuzma shot 6 times without AD on the floor not much more to read here.
Centers
Top Play | Giannis Anteokoumpo ($10,900)
Giannis is expensive, but I still think he has the most upside. This game should stay close and The Bucks (like The Heat) need to start winning. I think Giannis has 7x upside once again.
Mid-tier | Bam Adebayo (8,200)
Bam Adebayo is in a great match-up, The Kings rank 30th against Centers. Bam will continue to play 35-38 minutes. I doubt I get to much Bam but he absolutely belongs in a player pool if playing multiple lines.
Value | Hassan Whiteside ($4,600)
Hassan Whiteside is really quite simple, if he plays more than 17 minutes he returns value. I assume he’ll be popular, but I see no reason to avoid him.
Fade | Kelly Olynk ($5,000)Â
Kelly Olynk just isn’t playin enough. Most of his minutes are going to Tyler Herro which is why I’m playing Herro and avoiding Olynk.
