NBA DFS Breakdown (Saturday, Feb. 6): Lock in James Harden

He’s posted an average Plus/Minus of -6.83 over his past 10 games on DraftKings, and he’s posted a finished with a positive Plus/Minus in just three of those contests.That said, he’s still playing a bunch of minutes, and his salary has come way down across the industry. He’s increased his usage rate by a team-high +5.4% with Irving off the court this season, and no one on the slate is projected for more minutes in our NBA Models.If Durant is also ruled out, Harden becomes essentially a must-play.Sticking with the Nets, the injury to Irving makes Bruce Brown one of the best values on the slate. Johnson has averaged 0.98 FanDuel points per minute this season, so he’s capable of making the most of his playing time.Juan Toscano-Anderson moved into the Warriors’ starting lineup in their last game, and he responded with 35.5 DraftKings points over 39.6 minutes. Boucher has been absolutely elite on a per-minute basis this season — he’s averaged 1.29 FanDuel points per minute  — so he doesn’t need a ton of playing time to pay off his current salary. He leads the position with 14 Pro Trends on DraftKings, so he’s a great option once again on today’s slate.Christian Wood is out of the lineup against the Spurs, which means DeMarcus Cousins is back in play for fantasy purposes.He’s been an absolute monster with Wood out of the lineup this season, averaging 41.98 FanDuel points over four starts.
