We have another solid slate tonight, but DraftKings has broken their slates down into two separate slates. This articles focuses solely on the later slates, which means players from the first two games will not be in this article.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 2/11/17. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on DraftKings.

DraftKings DFS Guards
Isaiah Thomas – PG, at UTA ($9,200)
Thomas has certainly cooled off a bit recently, but he’s still averaging 35.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game over the last 10 days. His price dropped a few hundred dollars tonight because of the tough matchup against the Jazz, but Thomas is a player that can score against anyone. He dominated the Jazz for 62 fantasy points earlier this season, and Thomas can be used in all leagues tonight.
Klay Thompson – SG, at OKC ($6,500)
Thompson has been playing extremely well recently, and he’s coming off an elite 36 point performance against a tough Memphis team. He gets a much better matchup against the Thunder tonight, and this game should feature a ton of points. Thompson has also been contributing in multiple other categories, as well, which only adds to his upside. He’s surprisingly cheap tonight, and Thompson is a solid option in all leagues.
Jamal Murray – PG/SG, at CLE ($3,800)
Murray isn’t a player that is going to blow you away in the box score, but he’s extremely cheap, and he has scored at least 20 fantasy points in seven consecutive games. He’s a solid scorer off the Nuggets bench, but he can also add peripheral stats on a nightly basis. He gets a good matchup against the Cavs, who have struggled against guards this season, and Murray is a good option in all leagues, as he’ll allow you to get some of the more expensive options on this slate.
DraftKings DFS Forwards
LeBron James – SF, vs DEN ($10,200)
James continues to play huge minutes for the Cavs, as he’s averaging 38.5 minutes per game over the last 10 days. Over that span, he’s averaging 26.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 10.7 assists, 1.0 block, and 1.5 steals per game. He gets a great matchup against the Nuggets, who love pushing the pace, and James should see plenty of opportunities to score fantasy points tonight. He’s a solid option in all leagues.
Wesley Matthews – SG/SF, vs ORL ($5,900)
Matthews has consistently been scoring 30 or more fantasy points, as he has scored that in six of his seven games since returning from injury. He’s averaging 17.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game over the last 10 days, and he is priced appropriately tonight. He gets a solid matchup against the Magic, and Matthews will be locked into big minutes tonight. He can safely be sued in all leagues tonight.
Dirk Nowitzki – PF/C, vs ORL ($5,300)
Nowitzki has had his ups and downs this season, but he has been heating up over his last couple games. He has scored 34.75 and 41.75 fantasy points in his last two games, and he was able to play at least 30 minutes in each games. He doesn’t always play big minutes, which adds a bit of risk to him as a player, but he comes with great upside when he is given the playing time. Still, he should only be used in tournaments tonight.
DraftKings DFS Centers
Draymond Green – PF/C, at OKC ($7,500)
Green has been heating up recently, as he has scored at least 40 fantasy points in each of his last three games. He’s coming off a triple double, in which he only scored four points. He triple doubled with rebounds, assists, and steals to go along with five blocks. It was an unbelievable effort from Green, and he gets a great matchup against the Thunder tonight. He saw his price drop tonight for some reason, and he’s cheap enough to be used in all leagues.
Rudy Gobert – C, vs BOS ($7,400)
Gobert has been a consistent double double this season, and he’s averaging 14.6 points, 13.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 2.2 blocks per game over the last 10 days. He has scored at least 39 fantasy points in four of his last five games, and he gets a solid matchup against the Celtics, who have a fairly small lineup. Gobert is still fairly cheap for his recent production, and he’s a solid option in all leagues tonight.
