There are seven games today, but DraftKings has broken them up into two slates. There are three games on the early slate and four games on the late slate. This article will feature players from the later slate, as it has been labeled the "featured" slate, which is what we want to outline.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 1/28/18. I play both cash and GPP, so I will be looking for both players who have consistency, along with value plays that have upside from a favorable match up, or other factors.

If you have any questions or comments, let me know @BalesSJustin on Twitter. You can also read more DFS advice and lineup picks for sites like FanDuel, and other sports too. Let's get to it.

 

DraftKings DFS Guards

Jordan Clarkson - PG/SG, at TOR ($6,400)

Clarkson is an interesting option. He has been playing bigger minutes with Lonzo Ball out, and that will likely be the case tonight. Ball is currently questionable, but reports have suggested he is closer to doubtful. Clarkson has played 30+ minutes in each of his last four games, averaging 44 fantasy points per game over that span. He's a player that can contribute in multiple categories, while being one of the best scorers on the team. He still comes with a reasonable price tag for his upside, and Clarkson can be used in all leagues if Ball is ruled out.

Kyle Anderson - SG/SF, vs SAC ($5,200)

Anderson has cooled off a bit recently, but he has still looked outstanding over his last five games. Over that span, he is averaging 6.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.8 blocks, and 2.4 steals per game. He has been locked into big minutes, and he has been contributing in each of the five categories on a near nightly basis. He gets a great matchup against the Sacramento Kings, who have struggled defensively this season, and Anderson can be considered in all leagues for a reasonable price tag.

 

DraftKings DFS Forwards

LaMarcus Aldridge - PF/C, vs SAC ($8,700)

Aldridge has struggled in a couple games recently, but he has still been able to score 45+ fantasy points in four of his last six games. He has been the focal point of the offense with Kawhi Leonard injured, and Aldridge brings double double potential into this game. He gets a great matchup against the Sacramento Kings, who he is averaging a 30.0/11.0/1.5/0.5 line against this season. He is locked into big minutes, making an elite option in all leagues tonight.

Larry Nance Jr. - SF/PF, at TOR ($4,700)

Nance comes with inconsistent production because of his inconsistent minutes. He has played between 22 and 36 minutes over the last six games, scoring anywhere from 10.5 to 41.25 fantasy points. Overall, he was able to score 25+ fantasy points in four of those games. He is expected to see minutes in the mid-20s tonight, and he gets a solid matchup against the Toronto Raptors. He is not a player that can be used in cash games, but he makes a high upside tournament option on this slate.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

Steven Adams - C, vs PHI ($6,300)

Adams is an option that can always be considered when he is playing at home. He is averaging 1.03 fantasy points per minute at home this season, while averaging 33.4 fantasy points per game over his last four home games. He also gets a solid matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers, who love pushing the pace. Adams is a safe player that comes with tremendous upside for his current price tag. He is an option that can be used in all leagues.
