NBA DFS Picks For Fanduel 2/11/21

We got back on track yesterday with a lineup that scored 312 points and cashed in both 50-50s and GPPs, despite Clint Capela scoring a measly 16 FD points. For today, we have one of the smaller slates with 5 total games to pick players from. Although some positions may be on the chalky side, I think there will be enough variety to be able to make a distinguishable lineup from the rest of the field. As I say everyday, the top plays and my lineup core can change with injury or rest news, so make sure to stay up to date. Let's dive into the breakdown of the NBA main slate on Fanduel today!

Top Play:

Joel Embiid - $10,800:

Joel Embiid is the most reliable fantasy producer of all the superstars on the small slate tonight as he averages over 4 FD points per game more than the second highest scoring player on the slate, Damian Lillard. In Embiid's last match-up against the Trail Blazers, he had over 40 FD points at half time, but saw limited action in the second half due to a blow out and the 6ers wanting to play it safe since he suffered an injury earlier in that game. Also, the PHI-POR game has the highest implied total on the slate. It is frustrating that Fanduel only lets you play one center, because that is the position that I would like to stack today. You don't need to lock Embiid since you only have one center, but he is the best play of the slate in my eyes.

Best Value:

Seth Curry - $4,100:

As aforementioned, the PHI-POR game has the highest implied total on the slate, which means that it should be a relatively fast-paced affair. Shake Milton is doubtful to play today, so Seth Curry has no threat of losing minutes, and instead should see a little bit of extra run. He has played 55 minutes in his last two games, and has scored over 25 FD points in both. We know that the Blazers don't like to play defense, so I can see a big scoring day ahead for Curry. There are no other clear options to play at shooting guard, so Seth Curry at $4,100 is in my core as of now.
