Daily NBA Picks Update 2/19/14

We wanted to expand on our daily plays for FanDuel, DraftKings and DraftStreet as more news always trickles in during the day. With it so close to the trade deadline, keep your ear out for some guys mentioned as they could be last minute scratches. Let's take a look at what we can expect getting close to lineups locking.

Also, remember to use our FanDueland DraftStreet lineup creation tool. Free this week for our readers.

It looks like Dion Waiters is going to sit, meaning you can bump up Jarrett Jack FD $3,600 DK $3,900 DS $8,198 and C.J. Miles FD $4,000 DK $3,800 DS $7,160. Honestly, if the Bucks make me want to commit a violent crime with their inconsistency, the Cavaliers aid and abet in the process. None of their guys are considered "safe" plays simply because organizationally, they are a disaster. That being said, if these two guys can jump near thirty minutes you are looking at nice values.

It looks like with Lamarcus Aldridge sitting, Thomas Robinson FD $3,500 DK $3,000 DS $5,640 will draw the start and see a huge increase in minutes. He is a minimum salary guy across the industry and will be a popular punting option. Robinson doesn't have a ton of track record, and even when he's seen increased minutes, they haven't always been the most productive. If anything, the biggest benefactor in Aldridge's absence is Damian Lillard who our system already liked and was at the top of our point guard plays.

It looks like Derrick Favors is headed toward a last minute scratch. He is a GTD but didn't participate in shootaround. Our system already liked Marvin Williams and we included him in our original picks. I think he becomes an even stronger play with Favors out. Also bump up Enes Kanter FD $4,600 DK $4,700 DS $7,784 if he grabs the spot start.

Andrew Bogut will sit again making Draymond Green, one of our top picks on the day, a great value. He will come off the bench with Jermaine O'Neal FD $3,700 DK $3,300 DS $6,415 picking up the start. O'Neal is a decent punt option though I'd trust Green a bit more.

We had Shawne Williams listed in our picks but it looks like Ryan Kelly FD $4,400 DK $4,000 DS $6,137 will draw the start tonight versus the Rockets. The only place I'm really looking at Kelly is on DraftStreet. That price for a starter is near rock bottom.
