Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook: Best FanDuel, DraftKings picks and advice for Feb. 22 image

Welcome to the daily fantasy basketball Playbook for Monday, featuring DFS picks and advice from Sporting News partners FantasyAlarm.com. Karl-Anthony Towns is a no-brainer tonight against the Celtics, whom he dominated with 25 points, 16 rebounds and three blocks.

We also like three potential value plays based on injury updates: Kevin Love if Kyrie Irving (flu; game-time decision) is out; Jamal Crawford with Blake Griffin (hand) still out; and Luol Deng with Chris Bosh (out) and possibly Dwyane Wade (knee; game-time decision) both out.
