NBA DFS Picks For DraftKings 2/19/21

Big night on the 3 game Thursday slate! Went with 4 different lineups, cashed in all of them. I cashed big in one of my lineups that went for 308.5. My core of Butler, James and VanVleet combined for 141.25 Draftkings points. I also went with the Kings frontcourt of Bagley and Bjelica and Miami values in Herro and Olynyk. To fill the remaining salary, I went for a punt play in Deandre Bembry. All of my players scored over 35 Draftkings points except for Bembry with 13.5 pts. Yesterday was a very successful day on Draftings and I am excited to go over my top plays for tonight’s 9 game slate.

Reminder: If you have any lineup questions prior to lock, I will be happy to answer any of them if you comment and tag in under the article or DM me @rogersaj07. Also, if you retweet the article and DM me I will send you my player core that I will be locking into all of my lineups.

Top Play:

Zion Williamson: $8,400

Outside of Giannis, it is pretty hard to find a better fantasy player than Zion lately. Over the past week, he’s averaged nearly 50 DK points/game. I am gonna roll with Zion, who is $2,400 cheaper than Giannis, and is playing in a much better matchup than Giannis. Zion could also see some run at the five if Adams is ruled out. Zion has been playing at too high of a level for him not to be a lock in all my lineups tonight.

Best Value(s):

Willy Hernangomez: $3,800

I really like the Pelicans tonight. Steve Adams has been ruled doubtful for tonight’s game against the Phoenix Suns. Hernangomez was the biggest beneficiary when Adams left early Wednesday, racking up nearly 34 DK points. If Adams is indeed ruled out, Hernangomez could be the biggest value on tonight’s slate.

Picks by Position:

PG:

1)Fred VanVleet: $7,800

2) Chris Paul: $7,700

3) Darius Garland: $5,400

SG:

1) Zach LaVine: $9,300

2) Khris Middleton: $7,600

3) Anthony Edwards: $6,000

Other Guard Plays (PG/SG): Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: $8,200 (if you think OKC can keep it close with Bucks, SGA will be a big reason why), Collin Sexton: $7,300, Delon Wright: $6,100, Garrett Temple: $4,000, Michael Carter-Williams: $5,100,Kemba Walker $6,500 (Only if there is no minutes restriction)

SF:

1) Jayson Tatum $8,800 (Have to keep playing Tatum until his price gets higher)

2) Cedi Osman: $4,800 (Should see big minutes with all Cavs’ injuries)

3) Jerami Grant:$7,500

PF:

1) Zion Williamson: $8,400

2) Giannis Antetokounmpo: $10,800

3) Pascal Siakim: $7,700

C:

1) Joel Embiid: $10,800

Notes: should be in for another big night in a matchup with the Bulls

2) Nikola Jokic: $11,000

Notes: The Cavs can keep it close with Denver and with no Drummond, expect Jokic to have

a big night.

3) Clint Capela: $7,200

Other Center Plays: Al Horford: $6,700, Javale Mcgee: $3,600, Jarrett Allen: $6,800 (Too cheap for a starting Center, even with the tougher matchup against Jokic), Karl Anthony-Towns $9,200, Serge Ibaka: $4,900

Core/Lineup:

My core 3 are Zion Williamson: $8,400, Cedi Osman: $4,800 and Joel Embiid $10,700.There are a lot of good value plays at PG/SG that I will be targeting. Take Advantage of the Cavs, Pelicans and possible Clippers value (Pending Kawhi’s status) to be able to lock in another STUD at the Forward or Center position.
