Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – 2/26/16

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/26/16 Friday is here. And I have to say, after a truly crazy week around the DFSR offices, I'm feeling a little TGIF right now. Wait, what? We work every day? Doh. But wait - we write about daily fantasy sports for a living! Okay, okay. I'm back. Tonight's an interesting slate for a few reasons. We've got a pile of fast and loose defenses, and at least 1 team (the Bulls) with a ton of playing time uncertainty.

I wrote this the last time Conley played the Lakers (2 days ago, if you're keeping track at home), but this is literally the very perfect spot to play him. Not only have the Lakers allowed the most fantasy points to opposing point guards of any team in the league, the Grizzlies are essentially missing a whole team's worth of players as compared to what they were rolling out earlier this season. Conley put up 42 fantasy points in 29 minutes on Wednesday, and I see no reason why he shouldn't repeat that performance (or even exceed it, if the Lakers keep it close) on Friday. Chris Paul - FD 9800 DK 9600 Opponent - SAC FD Proj. Pts - 44.12 DK Proj. Pts - 46.01 I'm straying slightly from the...
