With Valentine’s Day just a day away it seems only fitting that “teammates” seem to be the theme of my DraftKings lineup advice for Tuesday’s six-game NBA slate. Stacking isn’t necessarily a thing in DFS hoops with limited positive correlation between players on the same team. However, there are times when getting exposure to a couple of players from the same squad makes sense either due to an injury to a star player or when they are in a very favorable game environment. Those scenarios present themselves in a few situations on Tuesday’s slate. Can you feel the love in the air? These teammates do.
Note that some of the stats referenced in this article are my custom DvP calculations that combine both season and last five games data along with blending similar positions production allowed together.

One Stud
Giannis Antetokounmpo (SF/PF – MIL): $10,700
There are plenty of high-priced studs to choose from on Tuesday’s six-game slate and they are all valid options worth consideration. However, I’ll give a slight edge to Giannis Antetokounmpo in a premier matchup against the Hawks who have allowed the most DraftKings points per game to opposing SFs this season. Meanwhile, the Greek Freak has scored at least 23 points in four of his last five games with his usual stat-stuffing box score and dominated the Hawks in a previous meeting this season with 33 points, 11 rebounds and six assists.
