DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-February 28
High Salary PG
Damian Lillard-Portland Trail Blazers (9,600): Lillard has been rolling lately and has at least 30 points in six of his last seven games including last night when he piled up 31 points in 35 minutes while adding four assists and four rebounds to get to 40 fantasy points. He has at least that many fantasy points in each of his last nine games, and will look to continue his top-flite production as the Blazers finish their back-to-back in Indy. The Pacers are a pretty solid defensive team, but they have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing PG over their last five gams, so Lillard is a solid way to invest your money in someone with the potential to go off and carry your fantasy team if you go with a star at PG.∗∗∗
Goran Dragic-Miami Heat (6,400): The Heat have dropped each of their last two games and are playing short-handed without Chris Bosh. Dragic has stepped up since the All Star break to fill some of the scoring void and has posted at least 27 fantasy points in each of his five games since the break including three games with 40+ fantasy points. The Knicks have struggled to contain opposing PG, so look for another good game from Goran Dragic in the “late” game tonight. ∗∗∗∗
