It is February 4th, a Tuesday. The NBA will feature seven games, including a doubleheader on TNT/truTV/Max. The Los Angeles Lakers and LA Clippers play in the nightcap, while the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers play in the first game to be aired.
For tonight’s slate, these are our best NBA DFS lineup recommendations and suggestions.
Tyrese Maxey, NBA DFS Core Plays (PG-PHI)
DraftKings: $9,900
$10,000 for FanDuel
Despite his high price tag, Tyrese Maxey is a good investment. He outperforms all other completely healthy guards on the board with 46.4 fantasy points per game. The Dallas defense, which is rated eleventh in terms of opponent rankings, will not have Anthony Davis available due to an abdominal strain.
The Mavs defense has given up more than 136 points in two of their last three games, thus Maxey should be able to rack up some significant points.
Towns, Karl-Anthony (C-NYK)
DraftKings: $9,400
FanDuel: $9,700
Karl-Anthony Towns just finished a game against the Houston Rockets, scoring 22 points and pulling down nine rebounds. Before fouling out, he also had one 3-pointer, two assists, and a blocked shot in 39 minutes.
Towns has recorded double-doubles in 13 of his last 16 games, but he hasn’t had one in two of the games in February. The previous time he faced the Raptors he recorded 27 points, 13 rebounds, three steals, two assists and two blocked shots with a 3-for-3 performance from behind the 3-point arc.
Jayson Tatum (PF-BOS, SF)
DraftKings: $9,800
FanDuel: $10,100
Among the costly forwards, Jayson Tatum is a potent player. In his last two games, he has had two double-doubles: a 5-of-8 shooting performance from outside the arc against the Philadelphia 76ers, 35 points with 11 assists, seven rebounds, a blocked shot, and a steal.
Tatum is still worth the cost, even though the Celtics and Cavaliers are playing in a highly anticipated game. In his two games against Cleveland this season, he has averaged 33 points, 10 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.6 steals, and five 3-pointers per game. In their most recent match, which took place in Cleveland on December 1st, he scored 33 points, pulled down eight rebounds, and made four three-pointers.
Targets for the NBA DFS Cash Game Tyrese Haliburton (PG-IND)
DraftKings: $8,500
FanDuel: $8,900
Tyrese Haliburton has been averaging 17.5 points, 7.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 steals, 1.5 blocks, and 3 3-pointers a game in February, but he has only made 11 of 27 (40.7%) shots from the field.
Although it doesn’t give one much hope, the Trail Blazers are ranked 21st in terms of opponents, and Haliburton is still scoring a respectable 40.6 fantasy points per game this season. Portland has been playing a little better lately, but expect Haliburton to make a major splash on Tuesday night.
PG Tyler Herro (MIA)
DraftKings: $8,400
FanDuel: $8,200
Tyler Herro is a good option if you’re not convinced about Haliburton or if you want to employ him in your utility role. He mended Jack Harlow’s sweater, after all. Last time out in San Antonio, the former Kentucky Wildcats star had a lackluster performance, scoring just 11 points on 4 of 15 shots, including a 0-for-7 night from beyond the arc.
Choosing a sniper like Herro isn’t a bad option, even though some DFS players dislike starting a guy after an awful game. He won’t remain cold for long, particularly while against the Bulls, who have a weak defense. Prior to the Spurs’ downtown goose egg, Herro had at least
Siakam Pascal (PF-IND)
DraftKings: $8,000.
FanDuel: $8,100
The Trail Blazers defense, which Pascal Siakam is up against, is not only incredibly forgiving but also fresh from a game on Monday. In four of the last five games, Portland has given up more than 108 points. In their last eight games without a break, the Trail Blazers have given up 106.6 points per contest.
Siakam’s fantasy point average per game is 38.1. The Blazers are ranked 24th among their opponents. In each of his last four games, Siakam has pulled down six or more rebounds and scored at least 20 points. In the last three games, he has also contributed four or more assists.
Bam Adebayo (PF, C-MIA) is the target of NBA DFS GPP.
$7,900 at DraftKings
FanDuel: $8,100
The large has a good matchup against the Bulls, as already indicated above with Herro. Miami players should be the main emphasis of your DFS stack.
After a stellar performance against the Spurs, Bam Adebayo finished with 30 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists, three blocked shots, and two steals on 13 of 21 shooting in 38 minutes. In the last two games, he has made four 3-pointers, including two 3-pointers.
Gafford, Daniel (C-DAL)
$7,200 at DraftKings
FanDuel: $7,800
Daniel Gafford (ankle) is not included on the injury report for this game, although he missed the last one against the Cavaliers because of a painful left ankle. Gafford should play a lot of minutes in the frontcourt because Anthony Davis isn’t ready to make his club debut just yet.
In his most recent outings, Gafford has averaged 19 points and 11 rebounds, recording back-to-back double-doubles. In the last four games, he has also blocked 17 shots.
Zubac Ivica (C-LAC)
$7,400 at DraftKings
FanDuel: $7,600
Anthony Davis was moved to the Dallas Mavericks over the weekend, so Ivica Zubac and the Clippers won’t have to worry about him when they play the Lakers at Intuit Dome. Fortunately for Zubac and other Clippers big men, the Lakers should have a shortage of players in the frontcourt.
Klay Thompson, an NBA DFS value play (SG-DAL)
$5,300 at DraftKings
$5,200 for FanDuel
Last time out against the Cavaliers, Klay Thompson had a terrible game. He only made one out of ten shots from the field and finished with two points, five rebounds, and three assists. The 76ers, who have a 22nd overall opponent ranking, should be a lot easier for him to defeat.
Grant Jerami (PF, SF-POR)
$5,700 at DraftKings
$5,400 for FanDuel
In a possible shootout with the Pacers, Jerami Grant is a value play. Grant managed to put together 17 points, 3.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.0 3-pointers per game in a back-to-back with the Suns. Look for Grant to keep up the fine work, as the Pacers are currently ranked 26th in terms of opponents.
DAL’s Max Christie (SG)
DraftKings: $4,800
$4,500 for FanDuel
Max Christie, who was part of the massive Luka Dončić-Anthony Davis transaction with the Los Angeles Lakers and Utah Jazz over the weekend, is anticipated to make his team debut. Christie may get started right away with his new teammates because the 76ers are ranked 22nd in terms of opponents.
