We had a fun slate last night, where Boban Marjanovic got to show everyone what he can do in bigger minutes. We have a larger nine game slate tonight, though, meaning we will have plenty of options to choose from. It feels good to be back from the break, and now let's get into things!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 2/22/19. These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options to lower-priced players and value picks on FanDuel. You can also check out today's DraftKings lineup picks.

FanDuel DFS Guards
Kadeem Allen - PG, vs MIN ($4,200)
Allen has been playing a sizeable role for the New York Knicks over his last four games. Over that span, he's averaging 16.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 1.5 steals (32.2 fantasy points) in 26.5 minutes per game. He has flashed consistency and upside, scoring between 27 and 40 fantasy points in each of those four games. He's expected to keep a similar role tonight, and he gets a decent matchup against the Minnesota Wolves. Allen is a player that can be considered in all leagues for his current price tag.
Zach LaVine - SG, at ORL ($7,800)
LaVine is somewhat of a streaky player, but he has caught fire recently. He has scored 40+ fantasy points in four of his last five games, including a 53.1 fantasy point performance against the New Orleans Pelicans. He gets a matchup against the Orlando Magic, who have been playing at a high level defensively this season, but are still far from a team to avoid. They'll likely struggle with LaVine's scoring ability, and he'll once again be the focal point of the Chicago Bulls offense. He's surprisingly cheap, and he can be considered in all leagues tonight.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Jonathan Isaac - SF, vs CHI ($6,500)
Isaac isn't the most consistent option on the slate, but he comes with tremendous upside because of his block and steal potential. He's still surprisingly cheap, but he has scored 37.9 and 41.6 fantasy points in two of his last three contests. He get a good matchup against the Chicago Bulls tonight, as well. He'll see minutes in the high-20s or low-30s, but that doesn't guarantee he'll hit value. Isaac is an option that is best suited for tournaments.
Bobby Portis - PF, at CHA ($6,700)
Portis has been given bigger minutes since joining the Washington Wizards, and his fantasy production has increased. While he isn't necessarily the safest option on the slate, he has scored 30+ fantasy points in five of his last six games, including a pair of games with 40+ fantasy point upside. He also has the potential to eclipse 50 fantasy points when he's playing at his best. He gets a plus matchup against the Charlotte Hornets, and Portis can be considered in all leagues, even with his few inconsistencies.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Joakim Noah - C, vs LAC ($4,000)
Jonas Valanciunas has been ruled out for this game, which means Noah is going to be forced into decent minutes. He has played 18+ minutes in seven of his last nine games, and he's averaging 25.8 fantasy points per game over that span. He has found consistency when given the playing time, and he has also flashed 40 fantasy point upside. He gets an elite matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers, who have struggled against centers this season, and Noah is a no risk, high upside option because of his price tag tonight.
