DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-January 26
High Value PF
Jabari Parker-Milwaukee Bucks (5,100): Parker has been productive lately with at least 24 fantasy points in six of his last eight games. He had his best game of that stretch on Friday against Houston when he had 38.5 fantasy points in a massive 40 minutes finishing with 11 points, ten rebounds, four assists, two blocks, and two steals. He has immense upside as he continues to complete his recovery and returns to 100%, but he is still a risk on a nightly basis since sometimes his non-scoring stats evaporate and he only scores 10-15 points in most games. ∗∗
Markieff Morris-Phoenix Suns (4,900): Morris could be lined up for plenty of playing time tonight if he can get healthy and Jone Leuer remains out (listed as doubtful). Morris had three straight games over 25 fantasy points before the game he had to leave early with his shoulder issue, and he’ll be in a great matchup against the Sixers tonight who allow the second-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing PF. His injury and volatility make him a little risky but there is huge upside if he gets the start and offers the Suns a nice source of scoring which they’ve been searching for with all their injuries. ∗∗∗
Larry Nance Jr.-Los Angeles Lakers (4,900): One other sub-5K option to watch for tonight is Nance who is expected to return after missing four games with a knee injury. In his four games before the game where the injury occurred, Nance was playing well with at least 20 fantasy points in four straight and starting to adjust more to the aggressive style that coach Byron Scott has been trying to get him to play. If he can pick up where he left off, he’ll be a good value tonight as well. ∗∗
