NBA Daily Fantasy Picks & Playbook February 27
Published: Feb 27, 2024
We got nine games on tonight's NBA DFS main slate with some great matchups to targets. This slate is also going to be quite fluid as we approach roster lock given the number of big names that are currently questionable to play this evening. The big news of the day so far has been Karl-Anthony Towns being ruled out for the Timberwolves in their matchup against the San Antonio Spurs which could leave the T'Wolves down BOTH of their starting bigs if Rudy Gobert was to miss his second straight game.

Roster Lock Updates
Jalen Brunson is OUT
- Boost to Burks/McBride/DiVincenzo
Isaiah Hartenstein is OUT
- Boost to Achiuwa/Bogdanovic
- Sims likely starts but not in my player pool still
CJ McCollum is OUT
- Looks for similar lineup Pelicans have been running
- Zion looking like offense will flow through him as Point/Forward
Deni Avdija is OUT
- I Like Corey Kispert here as someone who will see more minutes and may even start
Moses Moody STARTING
- With Andrew Wiggins OUT, the Warriors are starting Moses Moody. He is min-price but still carries a lot of risk.
Paolo Banchero is OUT
- Wendell Carter is starting at C tonight after starting at PF. Magic going with Gary Harris and Caleb Houston in starting lineup but I'd fade both…. PLAY Cole Anthony instea
