NBA DFS Picks Leverage & Optimizer Plays | Feb. 10

High-End Tier

Giannis Antetokounmpo ($12,500) has the highest projection on the slate by a wide margin tonight against the Clippers, and he’s easy to fit in lineups with all the value available. Antetokounmpo is projected for 34% ownership, a 24% chance of booming and a 23% chance of being optimal.

Jayson Tatum ($11,200) and the shorthanded Celtics have a great matchup with a Hornets team that is top 10 in pace of play and bottom 10 in defensive rating. He’s projected for 24% ownership, a 22% chance of booming and a 20% chance of being optimal.

Pascal Siakam ($9,600) has a nice leverage score in this matchup with the Jazz. He’s projected for just 2% ownership, a 6% chance of booming and a 4% chance of being optimal.

Mid-Tier

Killian Hayes ($4,700) is among the top point-per-dollar options on the slate against the Spurs. Hayes is projected for 39% ownership, a 51% chance of booming and 28% chance of being optimal.

Jordan Clarkson ($6,600) should take on a bigger role for the Jazz after they traded away some pieces at the trade deadline. He’s projected for just 1% ownership, a 10% chance of booming and 6% chance of being optimal. Clarkson is questionable with an illness, so be sure he is active before playing him.

Al Horford ($4,700) will be a great value if he plays against the Hornets, but he is questionable. If Horford is ruled out, look to the Celtics for other solid mid-tier options, such as Robert Williams ($6,100).

Value Tier

Much of the value right now comes from the Spurs. Stanley Johnson ($3,200) and Zach Collins ($4,000) are expected to be quite chalky, while Isaiah Roby ($3,000), Blake Wesley ($3,000) and Devonte’ Graham ($3,000) should come in at reasonable ownership.

These are just some of the top plays of the slate in terms of projection, value and leverage. Things can change in a hurry on an NBA slate, though, so remember to track the news throughout the day and take advantage of potential late-swap opportunities.
