FanDuel NBA Daily Picks: Fantasy Basketball Lineup For February 11

Fresh off a first-of-its-kind triple-double against Memphis, Draymond Green is hoping to thrive as a FanDuel NBA asset on national television Saturday night in Oklahoma City.

Historic nights are rarely accompanied by shooting performances of 2-of-6 from the field, including missing all three attempts from three-point range with no trips to the foul line.

The four points submitted by Draymond Green against Memphis were forgettable during a 122-107 Warriors victory, but everything else he accomplished in his 37 minutes on the floor was simply remarkable.

Green became the first player ever to tally a triple-double while scoring fewer than 10 points, totaling 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 steals, five blocks and four points to help Golden State secure its 45th victory of the year.

Since 1983-84, only 11 other players have ever stolen the ball 10 or more times and this was the first instance since Brandon Roy matched the total against Washington on Jan. 24, 2009.

The 10 steals broke the franchise record of nine shared by Rick Barry and Michael Ray Richardson and fell just one shy of Kendall Gill’s NBA record of 11 set against Miami on April 3, 1999.

The 26-year-old fell one point shy of submitting a 5×5 game, recording at least five points, rebounds, steals, blocks and assists in a single game.

If he scored one more point, he would have joined Hakeem Olajuwon and Andrei Kirilenko as the only players since 1983-84 with three or more 5×5 outings.

Green may have solidified his case as the Defensive Player of the Year with his stellar performance Friday night. The 10 steals he swiped were more than any team averages per game this season and his five rejections marked the first time a player has submitted 10 steals and five blocks in a game in 33 years.

As the anchor of the highest rated defense in the league, with Golden State allowing 103.7 points per 100 possessions, the fewest in the league, with Green serving as the only player averaging 2.0 steals and 1.5 blocks per game this season.

    All 12 of the rebounds from Green came on the defensive end last night, bringing his total for the year up to 351 defensive rebounds, the 17th-most in the league.

    For the year, Green has totaled 104 steals (third-most and just six fewer than John Wall for the lead) while rejecting 77 shots (14th-most in the NBA).

    Green can contribute in a variety of ways, shutting down opponents by either picking off passes, sending shot attempts into the stands or routinely collecting their missed shots.

    No other player put it all together more effectively than Green on Friday night and any FanDuel NBA lineup without his name on the roster may ultimately regret his absence.
