I hope everyone had a nice weekend. After an uneventful three games on Sunday, the league is back on Monday with 11 to keep things interesting. We have some injuries to keep an eye on as Draymond Green, Tristan Thompson, Myles Turner, Justise Winslow, Mike Conley, Karl-Anthony Towns, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Otto Porter, Taurean Prince, Kevin Huerter, James Harden and Luka Doncic are all listed on the injury report in some shape or form.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 2/25/19. 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
Tyler Johnson - PG, @ MIA ($5,600)
Johnson had a productive outing against the Hawks on Saturday, finishing the game with 29 points, five boards, two steals, and one block throughout 34 minutes of action. Though he is priced higher than he was a game ago and likely won't hit 50 fantasy points again, he will look to make a statement against his former team.
Kent Bazemore - SG, @ HOU ($5,600)
Bazemore has been getting the start over the past few games in place of Kevin Huerter, who has been out while nursing a bum ankle. If Huerter is out again, look for him to get some extra time on the floor in a game that will be high-scoring.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Kevin Durant - SF, @ CHA ($10,000)
With Giannis likely out, and LeBron James going up against a Memphis team that plays at a snail-like pace, Durant is the best option at the three on Monday night (at least in my opinion). After watching how disorganized the Hornets were defensively on Saturday against the Nets, look for Durant to expose Nicolas Batum and hit his value of 50 points with no trouble at all.
Cheick Diallo - PF, vs PHI ($5,500)
With Anthony Davis on his way out and looking at a reduced workload for the remainder of the season, Diallo is the favorite to take over starting duties at the four spot next season. He has had a sizable role off the bench over the past two games and is averaging a double-double during that span by way of 17 points and 14 rebounds.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Robin Lopez - C, vs. MIL ($5,400)
After the departure of Bobby Portis and the injury to Wendell Carter Jr., Lopez was called to fill the void in the middle after being narrowly traded himself at the deadline. He will match up against his twin brother and should have no problem coming close to a double-double against a Milwaukee team that isn't very efficient defensively underneath the rim.
