Today's NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings, FanDuel DFS Lineups, Values, Stacks (Tuesday, 2/3/26)

February 3, 2026

Today's free NBA DFS picks for DraftKings, FanDuel (February 3rd, 2026). Koby's daily fantasy basketball lineups, values, stacks, pivots, sleepers for NBA DFS.

Welcome Back, RotoBallers! We have a loaded 10-game slate on tap for us tonight that is highlighted by Tuesday's Peacock special in which the Celtics/Mavericks, as well as the Trail Blazers/Suns, take each other on in primetime slots. Only two teams are in the second half of a back-to-back, so keep an eye on the 76ers and the Pacers, as they may make lineup changes. Both sites, however, have elected to just go with an eight-game slate that doesn't include the two late games.

As always, watching the injury report updates will be critical to finalizing your strategy. Some notable names, such as Keyonte George, Josh Giddey, Jusuf Nurkic, and Onyeka Okongwu, are already confirmed out. While guys like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, Austin Reaves, and Norman Powell all remain questionable. There are many more players out, and there will undoubtedly be players who pop up on the injury report today, or even get ruled out, so keep a close eye on the NBA injury news and make adjustments as needed.

This article will provide you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 2/3/26. Remember to monitor NBA injury news and our awesome NBA injuries report tool, as the slate can completely change before lineups lock at 7:00 p.m. ET on FanDuel and DraftKings.

Today's NBA DFS Core Picks

Jalen Johnson, ATL - PF on DK, SF/PF on FD

• DraftKings: $10.2K
• FanDuel: $10.7K

There is a reason Jalen Johnson is one of the top-priced guys on the slate; he has been nothing but a monster this season. The first-time All-Star leads the league in double-doubles this season and is two assists per game short of averaging a triple-double. He is coming off a 66 fantasy point performance a few days ago against the Pacers, and now gets an elite matchup against the Heat, who have given up the sixth most fantasy points to opposing PFs across the last 15 games.

Jalen Johnson this season:

— 23.1 PPG
— 10.5 RPG
— 8.0 APG
— 1.3 SPG
— Leading NBA in REB + AST
— Leading Hawks in PPG, RPG and APG

The last time Johnson faced off against the Heat, he was one rebound shy of a triple-double on the way to a nice 49 fantasy point performance. With no Okongwu and Kristaps Porzingis still questionable, I anticipate Johnson being the primary rebounder as well as the primary ballhandler. I'd be surprised if Johnson didn't finish with a triple-double in this one. The big thing is keeping this game close.

Andrew Nembhard, IND - PG on DK, PG/SG on FD

• DraftKings: $7.5K
• FanDuel: $7.6K

Andrew Nembhard is in a great spot here against the Jazz. He is in one of the highest total spots on the slate and is playing in a game with terrible defense and a very high pace. The Jazz have given up more fantasy points to PGs this season than any other team in the league. He had a little bit of a down game against the Rockets last night, but had three 40+ performances in his previous four games. Including a near 50+ fantasy point night against the Thunder.

There should be no worry about a blowout here, as both teams are pretty bad. I'm expecting a back-and-forth game, and with a guy like Nembhard, who is second on the team in USG% this season, I like the potential. Nembhard has double-double potential on any given night, and I'm expecting a bounce-back night here after a poor game against the Rockets.

Today's NBA DFS GPP Pivots

Lauri Markanen, UTA - PF on DK, SF/PF on FD

• DraftKings: $8.2K
• FanDuel: $8.2K

If Lauri Markanen was able to stay on the court more this year, he could've been an All-Star. He is having a fantastic year for the Jazz, but just hasn't quite been healthy enough. We get a great spot for him here against the lowly Pacers. In the last 30 games, the Pacers are giving up the ninth most fantasy points to opposing PFs.

— Utah Jazz (@utahjazz) February 2, 2026

The Jazz will be without Keyonte George and Nurkic in this one. Markanen already leads the team in USG% this season, but with those two guys out, he should be looked to more. He has a pretty solid floor, scoring 30+ fantasy points in his last 10 games with a ceiling of 50+. Markanen should be in for a sizeable role, which should lead to a high scoring opportunity for him.

Ryan Rollins, MIL - PG on DK, PG/SG on FD

• DraftKings: $8.7K
• FanDuel: $8.4K

Ryan Rollins is a bit more of a spendy option, but he has been playing extremely well in Giannis Antetokounmpo abscense. In his last three games, he has finished with 42+ fantasy points and is getting a fantastic matchup against a Bulls team that has given up the third most fantasy points to guards across the last 15 games. I expect the Bulls to up the pace in this one, as they have the fourth-highest pace in the league.

This should allow Rollins to see more opportunities, resulting in a higher scoring night for him. The Bulls are allowing the top five most in steals, 3PM, assists, and points. When Giannis is off the court, Ryan Rollins sees a near 5% USG increase.

Today's NBA DFS Value Picks

Kenrich Williams, OKC - PF on FD, PF/C on DK

• DraftKings: $4.4K
• FanDuel: $3.8K

This one is pretty dependent on whether Holmgren and SGA end up playing in this one. If they don't, then the Thunder will have plenty of value plays to go around. That being said, these two guys also missed a game back on January 9th. Kenrich Williams finished with 21 points and 8 rebounds. That was also with Jalen Williams playing, who is out for this one as well.

OKC may elect to kinda tank this game and get SGA and Holmgren a much-needed day off, especially this being on the first half of a back-to-back. Look for guys like Williams, Cason Wallace, and Aaron Wiggins to get a boost in usage.

Pelle Larsson, MIA - SG/SF

• DraftKings: $5.4K
• FanDuel $5.2K

The Miami Heat are trending towards not having both Tyler Herro and Norman Powell once again. Which means it's Pelle Larsson time! In his last two games, he has more than paid off his rather cheap salary by 7-10x. He is once again getting a great matchup, as he is taking on the Hawks, who are giving up the second-most fantasy points to opposing SFs across the last 15 games.

Larsson has shown he is capable of being a multi-tool player, as he is getting it done on both sides of the court. As long as Powell remains out, then load up Larsson because he has shown he can be a very reliable option when some of the main scorers are off the court.

Mouhamed Gueye, ATL - PF/C

• DraftKings: $4.4K
• FanDuel $5.1K

The Atlanta Hawks are running thin in the front court, with Porzingis and Okongwu both injured, which leaves Johnson and Gueye to handle most of the front-court duties. In his last outing, he saw the most minutes he has seen all season with 31, and he was fairly productive in that time, finishing with a 31.8 fantasy night that would be good for just over 6x his price. As long as Porzingis continues to be out, Gueye should have no issue seeing 30+ minutes again, in what should be a decent matchup.

Today's Top NBA DFS Game Stacks

Atlanta Hawks at Miami Heat (237.5 O/U, Heat are -5.5)

This game has the highest total on the slate and is relatively affordable. Plenty of options from both teams, as well as some solid value spots.

Utah Jazz at Indiana Pacers (236.5 O/U, Pacers are -4.5)

This has all the makings of what could be a high-scoring affair. Both teams are bottom 10 in defensive rating as well as the top 10 in pace this season. Plenty of value to be had, as well as some elite stars in Markannen and Pascal Siakam.
