DraftKings + FanDuel Boom/Bust NBA Fantasy Projections | Feb. 20
NBA Daily Fantasy Picks: DraftKings + FanDuel Boom Candidates
LeBron James vs. Heat: $10,200/$10,500
47.0% DraftKings Boom/44.9% FanDuel Boom
LeBron James has seen his price come down slightly for his game against one of his former teams and coaches. Anthony Davis also remains out, as well as Dennis Schroder, which means LeBron is running the show by himself. With Davis off the floor this season, LeBron has commanded an impressive 33.8% usage rate. He has also averaged 1.48 and 1.42 NBA fantasy points per minute on DraftKings and FanDuel, respectively. That feels close to his floor for this matchup, giving him high potential tonight.
LaMelo Ball vs. Warriors: $8,800/$7,800
22.1% DraftKings Boom/50.7% FanDuel Boom
LaMelo Ball has firmly settled into his role on the Hornets, and he has a positive matchup with the Warriors tonight. His minutes are also safe to remain high, with Devonte’ Graham out. While Ball is clearly a better value on FanDuel, he is firmly in play on both sites. He has averaged 19.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6.4 assists over his past five games. Ball also adds defensive stats, totaling three steals in each of the last three games. The rookie is a great value and is on triple-double watch tonight.

Enes Kanter vs. Wizards: $6,900/$6,200
26.5% DraftKings Boom/50.1% FanDuel Boom
Enes Kanter has been up and down recently, but he does not face a dominating presence down low tonight against the Wizards. Against less competition, he has thrived all season long. When he played Washington earlier this month, Kanter finished with a 14-point, 15-rebound double-double. With plenty of missed shots likely coming from the Wizards backcourt, Kanter should rack up the rebounds again tonight, and he may even be active on the offensive glass, putting in some second chance buckets.
NBA Daily Fantasy Picks: DraftKings + FanDuel Bust Candidates
Davis Bertans vs. Blazers: $5,600/$4,700
85.6% DraftKings Bust/57.0% FanDuel Bust
Davis Bertans is coming off his best game the season. He hill nine of his 11 shot attempts, with all of them coming from downtown. While he had enough NBA fantasy points to be a “boom,” nearly all of it came from points he scored. Bertans added just three rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block to his stat line. In other words, his value is dependent on him scoring in bunches. Considering he has scored in double-digits just three times during this month, he is a massive risk to bust.
