NBA DFS Picks For DraftKings 2/25/21

Yesterday’s lineup can be explained in two words Jayson & Tatum. Jayson Tatum completely bombed yesterday in an amazing matchup with no Smart and Kemba. Dejounte Murray balled out with 51.25 Draftkings points and so did Wendell Carter Jr with 42 Draftkings points. We are now 6-2. We are back at it tonight with a 6 game slate starting at 7pm EST. Let's look at the top options across all five positions for NBA DFS. As always, good luck.

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(s):

Joel Embiid: $9,900

Embiid’s salary has dropped below $10,000 for the first time since late January. He’s coming off one of his worst games of the season in which he shot 3-of-13 from the field and recorded just 39 DK points. Take advantage of the salary drop as Embiid presents just as much upside at a $500 drop compared to Jokic. Expect a bounce-back game from Embiid against a Mavericks frontcourt (No Porzingis) that struggles to defend big men.

Best Value(s):

Immanuel Quickley: $4,100

This is a very contrarian value play, which is why I’m picking it. Most people will highlight the Mavs and Nuggets lack of depth and target value there. Can’t argue with that logic, but sometimes you have to break away from the herd. Quickley has struggled in his last three games, shooting just 3-of-22 from the field, which has dropped his salary down to $4,100. Before that, he had two games of 28+ DK points against the Rockets and Hawks. With Elfrid Payton listed as doubtful to play Thursday night, Quickley should see a few more minutes and could be in line for a bounce-back game against a Kings team giving up the most points per game in the NBA.
