DraftKings: 3 NBA daily fantasy sleepers for March 2

A good DraftKings daily fantasy basketball lineup during this part of the season consists of picking players in the playoff hunt, and picking against teams who are defensive nightmares.

This is the time of year when picking DraftKings players becomes easier and easier. Some teams have decided to stop trying to win games this season, making them defensive nightmares, while others are doing everything in their power to get those last couple of victories to make the playoffs.

It seems that every night in the NBA there are two teams going at each other with huge playoff implications.

On top of that, the league is still riddled with big injuries. Jimmy Butler is the newest name to go down with an injury leaving the Timberwolves fighting to make sure they make the playoffs. Both of these factors make certain matchups so much more appealing than others. When a playoff contending team is going against a tanking team with one of the worst defensive ratings in the league, you might be able to bank on the playoff team’s players scoring some buckets.

The most important part about creating a DraftKings lineup during this part of the season is making sure players will actually dress for the game and making sure their production matches (or exceeds) their DraftKings value. This article will give you three players who are safe bets to play over their cost in Friday night’s 10-game extravaganza.
