DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-January 3

High Salary SF

Danilo Gallinari-Denver Nuggets (6,700): Gallinari returned from his ankle injury which cost him six games, and he played 41 minutes against the Warriors piling up 24 points, six boards, two assists, and two steals.  His 39 fantasy points are probably a little inflated due to overtime minutes, but he should be able to continue to produce at a high level since he is the primary offensive option on the scrappy Nuggets.  Denver turns around today and plays the Blazers in the Mile High City, and hopefully they can find their legs after last night’s OT loss.  As long as Gallo didn’t re-aggravate his injury, he should be set up for continued success tonight since he’s clearly on no minutes limitations. ∗

Otto Porter-Washington Wizards (6,000): Porter is back after a thigh injury cost him three games in the middle of last month.  Porter has slid right back into the Washington offense scoring 21, 20, and 20 points in his last three contests.  He has ben doing good work on the glass with eight, nine, and 11 rebounds in those three games resulting in over 34 fantasy points in each of the three competitions. In his last game, Porter finished with 50.25 fantasy points on 20 points, 11 rebounds, four steals, three assists, and a blocked shot.  He will continue to be a big part of Washington’s offense while Brad Beal is sidelined, and he gives the Wizards the flexibility to go small like they have been thriving on lately.∗∗∗∗
