The top daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on February 11, 2018. Justin Bales' NBA DFS analysis and sleepers for building optimal DFS rosters.
We have eight total games today, but DraftKings has broken it up into two slates - a three game early slate, and a four game later slate. This article is going to focus on the later slate that is labeled "featured" on DK.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 2/11/18. I play both cash and GPP, so I will be looking for both players who have consistency, along with value plays that have upside from a favorable match up, or other factors.
If you have any questions or comments, let me know @BalesSJustin on Twitter. You can also read more DFS advice and lineup picks for sites like FanDuel, and other sports too. Let's get to it.
DraftKings DFS Guards
Ricky Rubio - PG, at POR ($6,600)
Rubio only played 21 minutes in his last game because of an injury, and he is currently questionable tonight with the same injury. Before his last game, Rubio was on fire, scoring 40+ fantasy points in five consecutive games. He has been scoring well, while adding rebounds, assists, and steals to his lines. He gets a great matchup against the Portland Blazers, as well. Rubio is entirely too cheap tonight, and he can safely be used in all leagues once he is announced as the starter.
Andrew Harrison - PG/SG, at OKC ($4,700)
Harrison has seen somewhat of inconsistent minutes recently, but that has not stopped him from finding success. Over the last 10 days, Harrison is averaging 15.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 5.0 assists in 29.4 minutes per game. He is also averaging 34.4 fantasy points per game over his last three games with 30+ minutes. He is expected to play around 30 minutes tonight, and Harrison still comes with a surprisingly low price tag. He makes a solid option in all leagues because of his low price tag.
DraftKings DFS Forwards
Zach Randolph - PF/C, at MIN ($6,000)
There is no real reason to avoid Randolph at this point. He is averaging 17.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game over the last 10 days. He has also scored 30+ fantasy points five of his last six games, including a 47 fantasy point performance against the New Orleans Pelicans. Randolph is a player that tends to get overlooked, likely because of his age, but if he is starting tonight, he can safely be inserted into all leagues.
Derrick Favors - PF/C, at POR ($5,200)
Favors is far from a consistent option, but he comes with tremendous upside. He has scored 28+ fantasy points in six of his last 10 games, including two games with 35+ fantasy points. He gets a good matchup against the Portland Blazers, who rank 22nd in the NBA against power forwards this season. Favors is a bit too risky to be used in cash games, but you likely aren't playing cash games on this slate anyway. Regardless, he should strictly be used in tournaments.
DraftKings DFS Centers
Rudy Gobert - C, at POR ($7,000)
Gobert has quietly been playing well for the Jazz recently, as he has scored 35+ fantasy points in three of his last four games. Over that span, he is averaging 36.3 fantasy points per game. He is a double double threat that has the potential to contribute in each of the five categories. He also gets a good matchup against the Portland Blazers, who have struggled at times against the center this season. Gobert makes a great option in all leagues.
