FanDuel Fantasy Advice - February 9

FIVE REASONS YOU NEED TO HAVE DAMIAN LILLARD IN YOUR FANDUEL LINEUP ON FEBRUARY 10, 2016 -- By Alan Goldsher, FanDuel Insider

1) Portland’s opponent, Houston, allows 106 points a game, third worst in the Western Conference. Yes, their point guard, Patrick Beverley, is known to be a defensive stopper…but nobody else on the team is. 

2) Houston ranks 25th in the NBA in FanDuel points allowed to opposing point guards.

3) This season against Houston, Lillard is averaging 22 points and six assists.

4) The only other high-end point guard on the NBA schedule tonight is Stephen Curry, and it’s distinctly possible that the reigning MVP might not get his usual allotment of minutes, considering that the Warriors are on the tail-end of a back-to-back and they’re taking on a tepid Phoenix Suns squad. 

5) Speaking of back-to-backs, Houston is also dealing with one…and theirs involved a late-night flight from Oakland to Portland.

BONUS REASON: The game will be televised on ESPN and Damian will want to prove to the world that he belongs in the All-Star game…which he most definitely does!
