DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-March 8
High Salary SG
DeMar DeRozan-Toronto Raptors (7,700): DeRozan turned in a solid 38.5 fantasy points against Houston, but it seemed like a low total on a night when everyone was going off. He has at least 34 fantasy points in six of his last seven games and continues to be one of the 35′ go-to options on offense. Tonight, he’s in a great matchup against the Nets who allow the third-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing SG, and DeRozan dropped 30 points on them when the teams last met a couple of months ago. The game could turn into a blow out, but provided its a competitive game, look for DeRozan to be one of the best options your salary can buy tonight against the Nets. ∗∗∗
Victor Oladipo-Orlando Magic (7,100): Oladipo was held out of the Magic’s game on Friday which ended in an embarrassing loss to the Suns. He returned last night, though, and played 39 minutes against the Warriors totaling 19 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists for 42.25 fantasy points. He has at least 40 fantasy points in four of his last nine games which shows his sky-high upside as he takes on the woeful Lakers defense tonight. As long as he is healthy after all the run he got last night, he’s a great matchup to attack tonight. ∗∗∗∗∗
