FanDuel has the slate split between the early games and the evening games, which will make things a little interesting. Everyone is reasonably priced, and basically all of the matchups are projected to be high-scoring and above the league average in pace.
Below you will find our daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 2/25/18. These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options, to lower-priced players and value picks on FanDuel. You can also read more DFS lineup picks for DraftKings and other sports too.
Give me a follow on Twitter @Den_Clausen and let me know how I did. Let's get started!
FanDuel DFS Guards
Chris Paul - PG, @ DEN ($8,900)
With Denver struggling on the defensive end this season, sporting a defensive rating of 108, Paul and company has the opportunity to put up a good chunk of fantasy points, especially considering that the contest between these two clubs is projected to be the highest-scoring game on the slate. Be mindful of Eric Gordon’s status, however, as he may not play due to illness. If he’s out, Paul will see a 2.5% drop in his usage rate resulting from one less efficient scorer to dish the ball to.
Tomas Satoransky - PG, vs. PHI ($6,700)
Satoransky had some issues on Friday against Charlotte, finishing the night with only 11 points on 40 percent shooting from the field in addition to only handing out only two assists. Philly has struggled against the one spot all season, allowing 20.7 points and nearly seven assists per contest to that position. However, this isn't because the Sixers are a bad defensive team, it's because they push the pace which gives their opponents a bigger window to accumulate fantasy points. If you are worried about him being matched up against Ben Simmons and his 99.6 defensive rating, Jamal Murray is available for only $100 more, but his matchup will be just as rough, if not worse.
Other FanDuel DFS Guards to Consider: James Harden, Bradley Beal, Gary Harris, Will Barton, Eric Bledsoe, Ian Clark, Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Larry Nance Jr. - vs. SAS ($5,300)
Nance made amends for his shoddy performance against Washington by dropping 15 points on Memphis. He complimented that by pulling down eight boards, nabbing four steals and blocking two shots. He saw a generous minutes increase, and if he plays as well against the Spurs, he will easily hit the five times value mark, possibly even exceeding it.
Trevor Ariza - SF, @ DEN ($4,400)
Ariza is too good to be priced where he is on Sunday and will likely be a popular value play to round out rosters. With as fast as this game is going to be, Ariza could easily see fantasy points in the 20’s, especially if Eric Gordon is out.
Other FanDuel DFS Forwards to Consider: LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Otto Porter Jr., Gerald Green (if Gordon is out), Ben Simmons, Kyle Anderson, LaMarcus Aldridge, Nikola Mirotic
FanDuel DFS Centers
Clint Capela - C, @ DEN ($7,700)
Capela is always a threat to put up a double-double and is reasonably priced for what he is capable of doing. Though he has a rough matchup against the Joker, the pace of play and potential elevated score will give Capela plenty of time to do some work on the glass as well as inside the paint.
Other FanDuel DFS Centers to Consider: Joel Embiid, Nikola Jokic, Anthony Davis, Tyler Zeller
