DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-February 20
High Salary SF
Carmelo Anthony-New York Knicks (8,600): Melo continues to produce very nice stat lines for the Knicks even though New York is piling up losses. Anthony had 47.75 fantasy points last night against Brooklyn on 22 points, seven rebounds, six assists, and three steals. He has at least 35 fantasy points in each of his last seven games with over 45 in each of his last two. He’ll be in a good matchup in Minnesota as the Knicks try to snap their seven-game losing streak. Anthony is a spendy play tonight, but he has been consistently excellent when he’s been at full strength and interim coach Kurt Rambis said he will be unlikely to rest Melo in any of the Knicks upcoming games.∗∗∗
Giannis Antetokounmpo-Milwaukee Bucks (7,000): The Bucks struggled to just 17 points in the fourth quarter last night as they lost their second-half opener against the Hornets at home. They’ll go on the road tonight to face the Hawks in a game that sets up well for Giannis Antetokounmpo after Atlanta’s wing defenders were crushed by Luol Deng last night. “The Alphabet” had a solid line of his own last night finishing with 18 points, 11 rebounds, four assists, a block, and a steal on his way to 39.2 fantasy points. He has over 35 fantasy points in four of his last seven games, and he plays big minutes for coach Jason Kidd. He has at least 14 points in each of his last seven games and when he can be active on the boards like he was last night he can be a multi-category producer among the best SF options in the NBA. ∗∗∗∗
