DFS Delivery for Thursday, February 27

  • It’s Thursday and we’ve got an awesome five game slate! We’re getting closer to the Playoffs with each passing game and today we’ve got a couple of interesting matchups. The Warriors @ Magic, Nuggets @ Bucks (with the biggest O/U of the slate – 240.5!) and Wolves @ Lakers all have direct playoff implications! The remaining games – Hornets @ Mavs and Pelicans @ Suns, are a mixed bag of fighting for better lottery odds and a marathon for the last couple of playoff spots in the West. But with Giannis Antetokoumnpo vs. Nikola Jokic, a possible playoff preview between the Wolves and Lakers and the new era of the Warriors vs. the Magic superstar defense, there’s a lot to get to. So let’s get started!

    Nikola Jokic

    Position: C

    Salary: $12,300

    Bobby Portis has missed the Bucks last four games and they allowed 20/15 vs. Ivica Zubac, 22/7 vs. Alex Sarr, 24/7 and 12/12 vs. Bam Adebayo and Kel’el Ware, respectively, and 23/11 vs. Alperen Sengun. Their interior defense and rebounding has felt the absence of their premier bench big who provided an energy that the 36-year-old Brook Lopez has shown difficulty to provide in his augmented role. In two matchups last season, Jokic had no trouble steam-rolling the Bucks for 25/16/12 and 29/12/8 stat-lines, albeit with one win and one loss. Both stars are enticing today, but Giannis Antetokoumpo lingering calf injury gives the edge to Jokic, and the lack of interior presence since the Portis absence could really show itself today against the reigning MVP. Lastly, Russell Westbrook ($5,400) and Jamal Murray ($7,700) deserve special mention on this game. If one of Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon is sidelined, Westbrook value skyrockets, and he also shares the benefit of the Bucks guard defense that guides us towards Murray. The Bucks are giving up the most points and 3rd best fg% to opposing PGs!
