Boom/Bust NBA Fantasy Projections | Feb. 28

NBA Daily Fantasy Picks: DraftKings + FanDuel Boom Candidates

LeBron James vs. Warriors: $10,800/$11,000

37.4% DraftKings Boom/38.2% FanDuel Boom

Anthony Davis continues to be out for the Lakers, and the team continues to struggle. James has not played very motivated most of the time, but he knows his team needs to win some games before the All-Star break. Dennis Schroder‘s return last game allowed LeBron to be a bit more aggressive offensively. The matchup against the Warriors is also one the Lakers should want to win, as it could become a relevant result as the playoffs near. This is all to say that we could see an aggressive, stat-packing LeBron today, which makes him among the best plays on the slate.

De’Aaron Fox vs. Hornets: $8,600/$8,000

30.6% DraftKings Boom/52.5% FanDuel Boom

Tyrese Haliburton is out for the Kings again today, which is to the benefit of Fox. The two have been negatively correlated for NBA fantasy points this season. Without Haliburton in the lineup last game, Fox totaled 27 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. He also posted a usage rate of 30% or higher in back-to-back games. Look for that trend to continue against Charlotte.

Bam Adebayo vs. Hawks: $8,900/$8,700

17.4% DraftKings Boom/32.8% FanDuel Boom

Adebayo has a solid matchup today against the Hawks, and we have seen his price come down a bit. He has had a double-double in four straight games and a triple-double in the game prior. With Atlanta being streaky with their shooting, the opportunity for high rebound numbers could be there again today. Offensively he should be able to be effective and efficient.

NBA Daily Fantasy Picks: DraftKings + FanDuel Bust Candidates

Draymond Green vs. Lakers: $7,500/$7,800

69.7% DraftKings Bust/56.4% FanDuel Bust

Green has put up three straight terrific games for the Warriors. Unfortunately, this has led to his price jumping up. On top of that, this looks to be a major pace-down spot for Golden State. On the season, the Warriors have had the second-fastest pace (105.4), while the Lakers have been in the bottom-half for pace (101.0). With fewer possessions and fewer opportunities to make plays in transition, Green has a high chance to bust today.
