We're back to a big slate, as we tend to have on Fridays. We have some tremendous options at each level of the price range, but as of now, there aren't many bottom of the barrel options. There surely will be because of injuries tonight, so keep an eye on that before tip-off, as well.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 2/10/17. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on DraftKings.

DraftKings DFS Guards
Jrue Holiday – PG, at MIN ($7,800)
Holiday is coming off a terrible game against a tough Utah defense, but he’s still averaging 22.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.2 blocks, and 1.2 steals per game over the last 10 days. Holiday has been dominating nearly everyone recently, and he gets a great matchup against the Wolves tonight. Holiday is still a bit too cheap for his recent production, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.
Klay Thompson – SG, at MEM ($6,200)
Thompson tends to be the forgotten man in Golden State because he isn’t the focal point of the offense and he also doesn’t generally speak out in the media. He has been playing at an elite level recently, though, as he’s averaging 26.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game over the last 10 days. He gets a matchup against a tough Memphis defense, but the Grizzlies have struggled against the shooting guard this season. Thompson can be used in all leagues tonight.
C.J. Miles – SG/SF, at WAS ($4,100)
Miles is an interesting option, as he has been fairly consistent recently, but his minutes have ranged anywhere from 20 to 35 in a game. He has scored at least 20 fantasy points in four of his last five games, including a huge 32.5 fantasy point performance against the Cavs. He gets a good matchup against the Wizards, who have been pushing the pace recently, and Miles is still cheap. He’s best suited for tournaments, but he isn’t a terrible cash game option on this slate.
DraftKings DFS Forwards
Karl-Anthony Towns – PF/C, vs NO ($10,000)
Towns’ price is going up, but he’s still entirely too cheap. He is averaging 27.3 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.7 blocks per game over the last 10 days. He has also scored at least 50 fantasy points in eight of his last 10 games, including a couple contests with at least 60 fantasy points. He gets a great matchup against a fast paced Pelicans team tonight, and KAT can safely be used in all leagues.
Marcus Morris – SF, vs SA ($5,100)
Morris is a streaky player, and he has caught fire over his last four games. Over that span, he is averaging 37.6 fantasy points per game. He has been playing big minutes for the Pistons, and he has been a big part of their offense. He saw his price drop tonight because of the matchup against the Spurs, but that has caused Morris to be entirely too cheap. He has also been a better player at home this season, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.
Larry Nance Jr. – SF/PF, at MIL ($4,000)
Nance finally looked fully healthy, and he had scored 32.5 and 44.75 fantasy points in two consecutive games before only playing 19 minutes in the Lakers last game. The Los Angeles rotation has been a bit volatile the entire season, which means Nance isn’t necessarily locked into big minutes tonight. With that being said, he has proven to be a huge asset when given the minutes, and he still comes with a cheap price tag. He may be best suited for tournaments, but he isn’t the worst cash game option on this slate.
DraftKings DFS Centers
DeMarcus Cousins – PF/C, vs ATL ($10,700)
Cousins was forced to sit out of the Kings last game because of a suspension, but he’ll return to the court tonight. He should be fully rested tonight, and Cousins is always a dangerous player. He has been displaying elite versatility since the injury to Rudy Gay, and Boogie is a player that also comes with elite upside. He’s still surprisingly cheap, but he does get a tough matchup against the Hawks. Cousins has been better at home this season, though, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.
Marcin Gortat – C, vs IND ($6,100)
Gortat is the best option at center on this slate. He comes with a ridiculous price tag, as he has scored at least 35 fantasy points in seven consecutive games, including a pair of games with at least 40 fantasy points. He’s contributing in multiple categories, and he gets a solid matchup against Indiana, who has been pushing the pace in games this season. Gortat should see plenty of opportunities in the game tonight, and he can safely be used in all leagues.
