DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-January 20
High Salary PF
DeMarcus Cousins-Sacramento Kings (10,600): Cousins finished with fewer than 50 fantasy points for the first time in his last seven games in Sacramento’s big win in LA last Saturday. He still had solid numbers with 19 points, 13 rebounds, six assists, and two blocks for 47.75 fantasy points. That seems to be about his floor right now, and I think he’ll quite possibly go off for a monster night tonight against the Lakers who allow the most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing centers. Cousins had 29 points, ten boards, and seven assists against LA when the two teams met two weeks ago, and he should be ready to bring the Boogie tonight against the Lakers beat up front line. ∗∗∗∗
Draymond Green-Golden State Warriors (9,400): I love Green’s matchup tonight as Golden State takes on the Bulls. He had a solid game in Cleveland playing just 31 minutes to get 16 points, ten assists, and seven rebounds for a nice 45.75 fantasy points. He had seemed a little limited by injury before that contest, but he should be good for 40+ fantasy points again tonight and could approach a triple-double if the game is competitive and he plays his full minutes. ∗∗∗
Paul Millsap-Atlanta Hawks (8,200): Another PF that fills up the stat sheet a little like Draymond is the Hawks’ Paul Millsap. Millsap has at least 40 fantasy points in six of his last ten games and is coming off a solid game against Orlando on Monday when he only had to play 27 minutes to pile up 13 points, 12 boards, six assists, two blocks, and a steal on his way to 44 fantasy points. He doesn’t have the shiny upside of Green, but he will save you a little money and probably be less owned as he and the Hawks head to Portland in one of the late games tonight. ∗∗
Thaddeus Young-Brooklyn Nets (6,800): Have you seen Kevin Love’s defense? Young is a solid buy at under 7K, as he and the Nets take on the Cavs tonight. Young has only one double-double in his last eight games, but he has at least nine rebounds in seven of his last ten games and at least 11 points in nine of his last ten games. He should be able to put it together tonight and have a nice night in Cleveland. ∗∗∗
