DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/14/23): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

The top daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on February 14th, 2023. Max Kulish provides NBA DFS analysis and sleeper picks for building optimal DFS rosters.

Happy  Valentine's Day, RotoBallers! Tonight we've got a solid 5-game slate, headlined by the TNT doubleheader. These articles focus on the overall best plays, which are typically more suited for cash games. However, some exceptions may apply, depending on the size of the slate.

This article will provide you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 2/14/23. Remember to monitor NBA injury news and our awesome new NBA injuries report tool as the slate can completely change before lineups lock.

As always, feel free to follow my Twitter (@Maxadelphia) to keep up-to-date with NBA news and for my nightly NBA bets if you're into that sort of thing. Let's go!

 

DraftKings and FanDuel Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

De'Aaron Fox - PG, SAC @ PHX ($9,100 DK, $9,300 FD)

Recently named to the All-Star Game in the fallout of recent injuries, Fox has looked the part and then some. He's scored 29+ points in 6 of his last 7 games and is averaging an even 50 DK PPG over that 7 game stretch. With the Kings leading the Suns for the #3 seed in the West by only two games, this game should be the closest thing to a playoff environment you can get pre-ASB. I expect both teams to heavily rely on their best players, and the Kings to do so to an even greater extent given this is their last game before the ASB.

Derrick White - PG/SG, BOS @ MIL ($7,100 DK, $7,200 FD)

The Celtics appear to be the value hub tonight, as a result of the absences of Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, and likely Jayson Tatum (listed doubtful at the time of writing). With Brown & Smart already having missed multiple consecutive games, White has been playing huge minutes, with 32+ minutes in 7 straight games, and an average of 38.3 minutes per game in his last 4 (since Brown went down). White is likely Boston's top offensive option tonight, something you rarely see at this pricing.

Gary Harris - SG, ORL @ TOR ($3,200 DK, $4,200 FD)

Harris hasn't lit the league on fire by any means this year, but due to the Magic's involvement at the trade deadline, and a Cole Anthony injury, he has emerged as one of the only three potential healthy guards tonight for the Magic. Harris has posted fantasy scores of 15.5+ in 4 of the Magic's last 6 games, and he turned in one of his best fantasy performances of the year last night with Anthony out, posting an 8/4/4 line with 3 steals against the Bulls (24.5 DK points).

Others to consider: Jordan Poole (if Klay Thompson sits) ($8,300 DK, $8,400 FD), Kendrick Nunn ($3,600 DK, $4,200 FD)

DraftKings and FanDuel Forwards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Pascal Siakam - PF/C, TOR vs ORL ($9,700 DK, $9,800 FD)

Siakam has had an impressive February so far, but he's really stepped it up during this current homestand the Raptors are on. Over this 3-game homestand, Siakam is averaging 55 DK PPG. This current homestand has consisted of games against the Pistons, Jazz, and Spurs, so not exactly a gauntlet by any means, but Magic would also fall in that category of lower-tier teams. It's also worth noting that this should be a good matchup for the Raptors in terms of starting lineups - the Raptors have been playing big lineups during the absence of Gary Trent Jr, something the Magic are doing as well due to trade deadline fallout & injury.

Khris Middleton - SF, MIL vs BOS ($5,400 DK, $6,000 FD)

It's been a turbulent season for Middleton, he's missed a ton of time to injury, and since returning has been on a pretty tight minutes limit. He's finally back to the point of playing 20+ minutes every game, seeing 25 minutes in the last game he played (last Thursday vs the Lakers). He hasn't played in 5 days after sitting out the Bucks' most recent game and given the Celtics' injuries on the perimeter, I think Middleton should be able to post a solid stat line, regardless if the Bucks win in a blowout or not.

Sam Hauser - SG/SF, BOS @ MIL ($4,600 DK, $4,800 FD)

Hauser has been the biggest beneficiary of the Celtics' latest wave of injuries. He cracked the rotation due to Jaylen Brown's face injury, and looks to be the most likely candidate to replace Jayson Tatum in the starting lineup tonight. Hauser has posted 22.5 DK points in 4 straight games since entering the rotation. It's also worth noting he should be game script-proof, even if the Celtics are getting blown out (they're currently 9 point underdogs at the time of writing) Hauser should still be on the floor given how thin the Celtics are.

Others to consider: Paul George ($9,300 DK, $9,400 FD), Al Horford ($5,000 DK, $5,300 FD)

 

DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Deandre Ayton - C, PHX vs SAC ($8,100 DK, $8,600 FD)

Ayton has been a beast in February, averaging 24 PPG and 10.5 rebounds per game in 6 games per month, good for a 43.5 DK PPG average in that span. With Devin Booker still easing his way back from a long-term injury, and Kevin Durant joining the starting 5 post-ASB looming, it's fair to expect Ayton's production to take a dip when that happens, so get in on him now while the role is still worth the price. As I mentioned earlier, I expect both teams to ride their star players in an important game, and that should spell big minutes for Ayton.

Trendon Watford - C, POR vs WAS  ($3,500 DK, $4,100 FD)

Since Jusuf Nurkic went down with an injury, neither Watford nor Drew Eubanks has asserted themselves as the next man up, but given the matchup and pricing difference I prefer Watford tonight. Kristaps Porzingis (7'1) has a significant height advantage over both Portland centers, but Watford should catch more of the Wizards' backup center, Daniel Gafford, who is also considered undersized for a center (both are listed at 6'9).

Others to consider: Kevon Looney ($4,100 DK, $5,200 FD)
