DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-March 4
High Value PF
Julius Randle-Los Angeles Lakers (5,900): Randle is logging 30+ minutes most games in the Lakers front court, and I think he’s the safest sub-6K option on DraftKings tonight. He has at least 26 fantasy points in six of his last seven games and eight of his last ten. He is a nightly double-double threat, and he should get plenty of work tonight against Millsap and Horford as the Hawks come to LA. ∗∗∗
Marvin Williams-Charlotte Hornets (5,800): Williams has stepped up for the Hornets since they lost Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (again) for the season. He has at least 28 fantasy points in five of his last six games and has been near a double-double every night. He tore up the Pacers for 26 points and 13 rebounds for 53.25 fantasy points last Friday, and he should be able to put together another nice stat line against Indiana tonight. I like him more than Randle tonight even though there is higher risk since his 9-13 shooting performance in his previous game against Indy was a big of an outlier. ∗∗∗∗
Ed Davis-Portland Trail Blazers (4,100): I was surprised by Ed Davis only getting 12 minutes on the floor for Portland against Boston on Wednesday, but maybe he was saving himself for tonight’s revenge game as he and the Blazers visit his former team in Toronto. Davis had posted at least 23 fantasy points in four straight games before the 10.2-fantasy-point downer on Wednesday. When he gets 20+ minutes he usually produces decent numbers, and he is in a favorable matchup against Toronto tonight. He’s risky since his playing time isn’t assured, but there is definitely a “revenge” factor to consider tonight as well. ∗∗
