Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks Update for 2/3/14

In a new feature we hope to start bringing each day we'll be expanding on our daily NBA picks with some updates later in the day to account for news that's come in on certain players.

Guards

Tony Wroten FD $4,900 DS $5,883-
Michael Carter-Williams didn't participate in shootaround today making him game time decision tonight. If he doesn't play, Wroten makes a nice plug-in option on FanDuel and a must start on DraftStreet. He is as close to a sure fire punt as you will ever find on that site if he is in the starting lineup. Keeps tabs on that situation. It's a little bit of a burn that it's a 7:30 PM start, but hopefully we'll know before rosters lock.

Jarret Jack FD $3,500 DS $6,331-
The Cavs are the definition of "disaster" right now. One of their myriad of issues is the shooting guard position. Jack started at the two last game, and will again tonight making him a viable option at minimum prices. I don't think he has a bunch of upside (what you'd like to see in a classic punt) but he's pretty safe considering.

Tim Hardaway Jr. DS $7,755-
Though it appears as if Iman Shumpert will play again tonight, you might want to take a chance on Hardaway. This DraftStreet price is low enough that you can consider him as his minutes were there even with Iman in the lineup.

It looks like Ty Lawson is coming back which makes Randy Foye and Evan Fournier not as enticing options as last game.

Forwards

Jae Crowder FD $3,500 DS 7,520-
It looks like Shawn Marion isn't going to play tonight and we can assume Crowder will once again fill in as the starter. He is a great play, especially on FanDuel where the small forward position is always difficult to fill. When Marion missed last game Crowder played 30 minutes with a 6/6/3/2 (steals) line that more than pays this minimum salary.

Center

Enes Kanter FD $4,800 DS 10,955-
Derrick Favors is doubtful to play again tonight giving Kanter a big boost in value. Last game Kanter went 23/15 and would get a Toronto team that's about league average against centers. Kanter, while a bit inconsistent, can crush these prices. He's especially attractive on FanDuel.
