DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-January 28
High Value SG
Will Barton-Denver Nuggets (5,700): Barton hit a dry spell after carrying the offense while the Nuggets were without Danilo Gallinari, but his last two games could be a sign he’s starting to turn things back around. Barton has scored over 20 points in each of his last tow games and added good non-scoring stats as well to finish with 38.25 and 37.25 fantasy points. The Nuggets finish their back-to-back tonight against the Wizards who will likely be without Brad Beal which may stretch their already defensively-challenged wing rotation to the breaking point. Barton is a nice value play tonight although there is definitely some risk since he is still coming off the bench and his minutes and production can fluctuate from game to game. ∗∗
Gary Harris-Denver Nuggets (4,600): Somewhat surprisingly for a rookie, Gary Harris’s production has been pretty steady lately for the Nuggets. He has at least 26 fantasy points in each of his last three games and has scored at least 11 points in nine of his last ten contests. Tonight, Harris and the Nuggets will take on the Wizards who probably not have Bradley Beal. ∗∗∗
Terrence Ross-Toronto Raptors (4,000): Toronto has been getting solid production from Terrence Ross lately while he has been filling in for the injured DeMarre Carroll. Ross has scored at least 12 points in five straight games and has 35.5 fantasy points and 22.5 fantasy points in his last two contests. Ross is a good cheap option tonight against the Knicks who may be short-handed if Carmelo Anthony is unable to play for a second straight game. ∗∗
Langston Galloway-New York Knicks (4,000): While Anthony was out, Lanston Galloway stepped up in a big way scoring 21 points to go with five boards, three assists, and three steals for an impressive 39.25 fantasy points. He has been playing a growing roll coming off the bench for New York with at least 20 minutes in each of his last seven games. He has over 15 fantasy points in five of his last seven, and if Anthony is out he’ll be a good play again tonight although he’s probably too risky if Anthony is active. With Anthony-∗ No Anthony-∗∗∗
