So far this season we have had a ton of value to play around with in NBA DFS. The trend will continue for tonight’s nine gamer, as a few key players have already been ruled out. Our strategy for tonight involves targeting players who are missing teammates tonight. We have built a stars and scrubs lineup for today, as that is the build style that typically works best when there is a lot of value on the slate.
Here’s a stars and scrubs lineup For DFS Basketball 2/10/21 (using DraftKings Values)
| Point Guard | R. Westbrook | $8,400 | |
| Shooting Guard | $3,200 | ||
| Small Forward | K. Leonard | $9,400 | |
| Power Forward | D. Bazley | $6,100 | |
| Center | $5,900 | ||
| Guard | $7,300 | ||
| Forward | $3,700 | ||
| Utility | M. Turner | $6,000 |
The $8,400 price tag on Russell Westbrook tonight is too good too pass up. Westbrook only played 28 minutes in a blowout last game and still hit over five times value at this price point. Westbrook is averaging over 47 FPTS, and we know about his dominant historical production. If Washington can manage to keep it close with Toronto tonight, Westbrook should crush this price point.
Paul George remans sidelined for the Clippers tonight. Kawhi Leonard should see massive usage against a docile Timberwolves defense. Leonard shot under 43 percent in both games without George so far and has still had decent Fantasy performances. Leonard has unreal upside and should crush his $9,400 tag if his shot is falling. Leonard is one of our favorite spend up options tonight, as you cannot expect one of the best players in the league to shoot poorly against an awful defense.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are once again gutted. The Thunder are missing a few key players, most notably Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The Thunder have been priced up and are not the smash squad they were a few weeks ago. However, there are still a few great values like Darius Bazley. Bazley is first in line for usage without Gilgeous-Alexander. Bazley scored 48 FPTS last game and is still priced at $6,100. Bazley is a lock tonight because his price does not match his upside.
It is remarkable how consistently Brooklyn has been ravaged by opposing centers. Tonight, it will be Myles Turner’s turn for the freebie. Turner has a great price point tonight at $6,000, the lowest we have seen for him in weeks. Turner is averaging 33.7 FPTS a game on the season. With the dream matchup against Brooklyn, Turner projects to be a great value at this price.
Now what do you get if you sign up now?
• Our favorite big man on the slate
• Cheap value plays essential for stars and scrubs
• Different options for multiple lineups
Torrey Craig – SG ($3,200 DK) Craig is a play we are getting to tonight for his price. The low tag allows us to get up to all the high upside plays tonight. Furthermore, Craig should get some extra run as the Bucks have a few injuries. Craig scored 21.8 FPTS last game. Anything over 20 will be great for this build.
Chris Boucher – C ($5,900 DK) Boucher is in a great spot for this price tonight. We have seen Boucher play significant minutes recently, playing at least 27 minutes in each of his last three outings. We know that if Boucher is to play significant minutes, he is underpriced under $6,000. Boucher has a great matchup against the Wizards who allow big games to centers. The Wizards also do not have the necessary big men to force Boucher off the floor. Boucher will be priced closer to $8,000 if his minutes solidify, with true 50 FPT upside.
Kyle Lowry – G ($7,300 DK) We want to get one of the main Raptors stars in the pace up spot against Washington. Lowry is the most affordable and should not be this much cheaper than the other Raptors studs. Lowry will probably be under owned tonight as he was only able to play 8 minutes last game due to injury. We have seen Lowry play huge minutes all year and is in store for a big game.
Isaiah Roby – F ($3,700 DK) Roby should play big minutes at multiple positions tonight for the Thunder. At this price, there are a million ways Roby can hit value tonight. Roby scored over 34 FPTS in his last outing and is still near the minimum price. Roby has dual position eligibility and will fit well in any lineup. Roby should have no problem giving us what we need from him tonight.
Alternative Moves…
Jonas Valanciunas – C ($7,400 DK) It is tempting to chase the big game with Valanciunas tonight. Valanciunas is coming off a 60 FPT performance against the Raptors. Valanciunas has a great price tonight, given he has not been priced up at all after the big night. Valanciunas has a good matchup tonight against Charlotte. The only issue with Valanciunas is there is always a lot of opportunity cost for Centers.
Domantas Sabonis – C ($8,600 DK) Sabonis has a great price tag tonight for a matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. Sabonis is averaging 46.6 FPTS a game on the season. Sabonis is in a great spot to crush his price tag. Sabonis fits well with both midrange and superstar builds with his discounted price.
Good luck everyone, make some money on the great value tonight.
