NBA DFS Picks For Fanduel 2/22/21

As I tweeted, my lineup should have won an award for how bad it was on yesterday's main slate. I have started a little bit of a skid, but hopefully you are still riding high off of the profits of the two massive days we had last week, combined with some killer After Hours lineups that I posted. I don't plan on starting a cold streak, which starts with getting back in the W column today. The main slate tonight features 6 games, which is a little small, but good enough for me to feel confident on. 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!

Reminder: If you would like the lineup that I will be using, RT the article post on twitter for at @SportsVerseHQ, DM @Excyphir, and follow them both. Since my lineups usually change with injury news, be sure to check DMs before lock in case of a change. I usually send my lineups out around 30 minutes to an hour prior to lock, so as long as you have followed the steps and DMed me, you will receive it.

Top Play:

Eric Gordon - $5,300:

On most nights, my top play of the slate is one of the higher priced players, but I decided to give that spot to Eric Gordon today. For his role in the offense without Victor Oladipo, Christian Wood, and DeMarcus Cousins, $5,300 is just too cheap to pass up on. Most projections have Gordon as one of the top projected players in terms of point return given price, and I see no reason why to disagree with the statistics. The Bulls are in the bottom half of the league in both points allowed to opposing point guards and shooting guards, which gives Gordon high upside, while being safe to reach the 5x value threshold.

Best Value:

Isaiah Roby - $4,600:

Whenever Al Horford has rested on the season, Isaiah Roby has given owners terrific production at a sub $5k price tag. In the last game that Horford didn't play, Roby scored just under 30 FD points for over 6x value. Given that Roby starts (there is no reason why he shouldn't), he will be very high owned at a popular salary relief position, but I see no way of getting around him. $4,600 is too good of a price to pay for the situation that he will be in, and he has respected owners in these spots all year.
