NBA DFS DROPPIN DIMES(Quick Hits Edition)Thursday , FEBRUARY 17th
Looking at an 5-game slate starting at 7:00pm
The “Droppin Dimes,” article will go over my favorite plays for the slate. It will consist of three to five core plays along with some additional plays and some value plays. You will not always see the highest-priced players or the most obvious plays. The article will be the building blocks to help construct lineup/s.

(Note: All pricing and fantasy points are based on DraftKings but can be used for all sites.)
Always keep an eye on the status of players before lock, especially now. There are still a decent number of players with questionable tags.

CORE
Ivica Zubac- is the main option at center for thr Clipper now that Serge Ibaka is gone. Zubac has hit 29 or more FPs in three straight games in all tough matchups. Tonight, he gets an elite matchup against the Rockets in a pace up spot.
Jalen Green– the Rockets will be without Eric Gordon and most likely Kevin Porter Jr(listed as doubtful). This gives Green the opportunity to pick up additional usage and minutes. He has the highest usage rate with those two off the floor. Already playing over 30 minutes a game and taking double digit shots. Excellent matchup tonight against the Clippers tonight.
Dennis Schroder– is now on the Rockets and played 39 minutes and took 16 shots. He should be in line for similar minutes with Gordon out and KPJ doubtful. As mentioned with Jalen Green, this is a good spot for the Rockets tonight against the Clippers.
Jordan Nwora– has seen more minutes with Pat Connaughton out. Also, Grayson Allen is doubtful tonight, so this will give Nwora some additional time on the floor. Played 26 and 24 minutes over the last two games and should see around 25-28 tonight. High usage player that is not afraid to shoot. This gives him a nice upside.
