With only three games on the schedule, you won’t be able to miss a game like Stephen Curry’s 54 point performance on Wednesday and still win. Here are the most likely candidates to put up a big fantasy total:
Top NBA fantasy scorers for 2/28
Kobe Bryant, SG - $9,600
I would say Kobe is the one “must-pick” on the board today. Despite being easily the most expensive player, he is worth it being projected for over 40 total fantasy points. Only two other players are even forecasted for 30 points tonight.
Dwight Howard, C - $8,200
One of those players is Howard over 34 fantasy points vs. Minnesota. The Wolves do have Nikola Pekovic to throw at center, but not much else. Howard has played much better at home this season averaging more points, rebounds, blocks, and steals while shooting a much higher percentage from the field.
Paul George, SF - $9,100
Surprisingly, the third player to be forecasted for at least 30 fantasy points is George with just over 31. The Clipper strengths are at PG and PF, and their wings are older and less dynamic than this newly minted All-Star. George is forecasted for an all-around performance tonight with 18 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists.
Top NBA value plays for 2/28:
Derrick Williams, PF - $5,400
Eminently affordable on FanDuel, he is projected to be Minnesota’s top fantasy scorer with 25 points. Against the Lakers who typically play just one big these days in Howard, Williams should have plenty of opportunity to get extra stats just through hustle and big minutes.
Steve Nash, PG - $5,300
The former MVP is somehow priced less than the Clippers’ Eric Bledsoe who is projected for just 10 fantasy points tonight. Nash is forecasted for over 21 with 12 points, 7 assists, and 3 rebounds on average. He has been playing much better of late, and looks to be recovered and in shape after missing so much time to start the year.
