Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook: Best FanDuel, DraftKings picks and advice for Feb. 8 image

Welcome to the daily fantasy basketball Playbook for Monday, featuring DFS picks and advice from Sporting News partners FantasyAlarm.com. With Jimmy Butler (knee) likely out through the All-Star break (and possibly beyond), the Bulls could have a tough time in Charlotte tonight, which means all players on the Hornets have a little more upside in FanDuel and DraftKings contests. Also, don't miss out on Kobe Bryant's retirement tour making a stop in Indianapolis. Bryant has scored at least 23 points in each of his past four contests (28.3 points per game) and added 26 rebounds (6.5), 14 assists (3.5), six steals (1.5) and a block while only turning it over five times in that span.

As usual, the experts at FantasyAlarm.com will publish their top daily fantasy basketball picks at each position across various DFS sites in the Playbook (free preview below). Playbook PRO members get even more daily fantasy basketball advice, along with detailed analysis and strategies, suggested team "stacks" and optimal daily fantasy lineups. Also, PRO members get access to all the DFS Playbooks and tools for every sport, including NFL, college football and NHL, with one subscription. So, check out tonight's free daily fantasy basketball plays below, and check out  FantasyAlarm.com's premium product when you're ready to go PRO!
