NBA Picks 2/6/12

G1- Jeremy Lin NY- home vs. the Utah Jazz, 7:30ET. Lin put up an 11x value in his last game vs. the Nets and played 36 minutes. He scored 40 fantasy points and filled the stat sheet, which makes him our #FantasyValueChalenge player of the day. Expect Lin to score well over 7+ fantasy points.

G2- Derrick Rose CHI- away at the New Jersey Nets, 7:30ET. 

G3- Greivis Vasque NO- home vs. the Sacramento Kings, 8ET. With the Hornets injuries and the Kings 3^rd worst defense, Vasquez is still a solid pick. Expect Vasquez to score 18+ fantasy points.

G4- Joe Johnson ATL- home vs. the Phoenix Suns, 7:30ET.

F1- Amir Johnson TOR- away at the Washington Wizards, 7ET. The Wizards have an awful defense, giving up most of their points to big men. Johnson had a double-double in their last game, so expect him to score 16+ fantasy points.

F2- Josh Smith ATL- home vs. the Phoenix Suns, 7:30ET.

F- Amare Stoudemire NY has lost a family member and is not expected to play tonight vs. the Utah Jazz. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family. 

C1- Marc Gasol MEM- home vs. San Antonio, 8ET.

C2- Emeka Okafor NO- home vs. the Sacramento Kings, 8ET. The Kings have the 3rd worst defense in the league giving up big points to centers. Expect Okafor to score 20+ fantasy points.

C3- JaVale Mcgee WAS- home vs. the Toronto Raptors, 7ET.
