NBA DFS: Top DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks for February 4th Include Steph Curry

Lakers star LeBron James (questionable, ankle) is expected to continue his quest for the NBA’s all-time scoring record when he takes on the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday night. James needs 63 points to break Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record (38,387) after scoring 26 in a comeback win in Indiana on Thursday. He’s been averaging more than 30 points per game this season, but he’s been held below that mark in three of his last four games. Should you include him in your NBA DFS selection on Saturday?

Meanwhile, two of the NBA’s top scorers will go head-to-head later in the night when Atlanta’s Trae Young takes on Denver’s Nikola Jokic. Should any of them be in your NBA DFS lineups on Saturday? Before you hit NBA DFS tips for Saturday, be sure to check out NBA DFS tips, player rankings, stacks and top daily fantasy basketball tips from SportsLine’s Mike McClure.

Now, McClure has turned his attention to NBA action on Saturday, laying down his best daily fantasy basketball picks. You can only see them if you go to SportsLine.

The best NBA DFS picks for Saturday February 4th

One of McClure’s top NBA DFS picks for Saturday is Warriors point guard Steph Curry, listed at $10,100 on DraftKings and $9,900 on FanDuel. He’s been one of the most consistent options for the NBA DFS roster over the past two weeks, scoring at least 26 points in six straight games. Curry surpassed 34 points three times during that stretch and racked up double-digit assists.

He amassed 28 points on 10 of 17 shots in 33 minutes against Denver on Thursday, despite being questionable for the game at one point due to a sore shoulder. He didn’t seem to care about the shoulder issue and went 5 out of 10 from the 3 point range. Curry has had at least 20 points in nine straight games, averaging 31.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 6.0 assists during that stretch.

Another part of McClure’s optimal NBA DFS strategy involves naming Maverick’s shooting guard Josh Green ($4,000 at DraftKings, $4,500 at FanDuel). He scored 15 points on an efficient 7 of 10 tries in 30 minutes against New Orleans on Thursday. Green continues to play a key role for Dallas off the bench as he added four rebounds and two steals in the win over the Pelicans.

He’s hit double digits in four of his last seven games, averaging 11.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists during that stretch. The Mavericks will be without top scorer Luka Doncic (heel) on Saturday night, giving players like Green more chances to score. Third-best scorer Spencer Dinwiddie (knee) is also a questionable play, so there’s a chance Green could become one of Dallas’ top scoring options in this game.
