NBA DFS Picks For Fanduel 2/24/21

We had a big bounce back day last night! After starting a little bit of a cold streak, the lineup last night broke it as it cashed comfortably in both cash and GPP formats. For today, the main slate features 9 games, and there is no shortage of good options. Heading these great plays are the Spurs, as many of their normal starters are out due to COVID protocols. Also, injuries on other teams have opened many terrific cheap plays. This slate is already shaping up to be very high scoring, and you are going to have to fade some excellent plays with the positional limits. 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:

Dejounte Murray - $7,500:

With DeMar DeRozan, Derrick White, Keldon Johnson, and Devin Vassell being ruled out for tonight, there is a ton of terrific options to choose from on the Spurs. Since there are limited options for the Spurs, Dejounte Murray should see as much usage on as many minutes as he can handle. Murray is going to be insanely high-owned, but I wouldn't avoid the chalk unless you are going for a crazy GPP lineup. Like most others, he is a core play for me.

Best Value:

Lonnie Walker - $3,500:

Like his teammate mentioned above, Lonnie Walker is in for a ton of minutes tonight. The only PGs, SGs, and SFs available for the Spurs today are Murray, Mills, and Walker, so there is just no world where he doesn't play 30+. At the minimum cost of $3,500, there is simply no way that you shouldn't be playing Lonnie Walker today. He is a 100% lock in my lineup.
