DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-March 18

High Salary C

Karl-Anthony Towns-Minnesota Timberwolves (8,300): Towns has had a great rookie season and has kept things rolling in his last ten games with seven double-doubles. He has at least 29 fantasy points in each of his last ten games with three games with 54+ fantasy points during that span.  Tonight, he’ll duel Dwight Howard down low, and I think Towns will end up with a solid game in a high-scoring game in Houston. ∗∗

Andre Drummond-Detroit Pistons (8,100): Drummond had 18 points and 18 boards in a solid night against Atlanta on Wednesday and has five double-doubles in his last seven contests with over 40 fantasy points in each of those double-doubles.  He’ll need to stay out of foul trouble tonight, but if he does he should be able to match up well with Cousins and Cauley-Stein.  He’s a solid play tonight with the upside of a monster game if he takes the matchup personally as Boogie comes to The Palace. ∗∗

Alex Len-Phoenix Suns (6,800): Len didn’t have a huge game last night since he had to deal with the tough front line of the Jazz, but he should be ready for a monster night against the Lakers tonight.  He did still manage a double-double with ten points and twelve boards, but was held under 30 fantasy points for the third time in his last four games.  The good news for Len investors, though, is that he keeps getting plenty of shots and plenty of playing time.  With that being the case, I like his upside tonight against LA who he has yet to take on as a starter this season.∗∗∗
