Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – 2/28/16

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/28/16 Sunday, Sunday, Someday! A little double-slate today, but I'm going to focus mostly on the late slate since that's what the super-majority of you will be playing. After a truly wild Saturday slate, this one is quite a bit more subdued. I mean, Damian Lillard is the most expensive guy on a 5 game slate. That's... kinda boring. But!

Well, the Wolves are finally trusting Rubio to simply run the offense on every possession. To great effect! He's averaged better than 12.5 assists per game during that stretch.
