DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-March 20
High Value SF
Jerami Grant-Philadelphia 76ers (5,300): Grant returned from his concussion and immediately took all the fantasy value from Carl Landry. Grant played 30 and 34 minutes in his two games back and had solid numbers with 25.75 fantasy points on 13 points against the Wizards on Thursday and an even better 31.75 fantasy points against the Thunder on 15 points, seven rebounds, three blocks, and two assists. The Celtics have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing PF this season which is where Grant is playing after injuries to Robert Covington and Jahlil Okafor, so Grant should be able to put up good numbers again tonight since he’s averaging over 30 minutes a game in his current role.∗∗∗∗
Luke Babbit-New Orleans Pelicans (3,500): The Pelicans will be searching for offense with Anthony Davis out tonight, and Babbitt has shown enough flashes that I think they may give him a look. He played over 30 minutes twice last week against the Bucks and Warriors and had double-digit scoring and over 24 fantasy points in each of those contests. He has been much less involved this week playing only a total of 20 minutes in two games, but he may see more time tonight. He’s a very high-risk flier against the Clippers tonight, but he’s someone to watch to see if coach Alvin Gentry can work him into a larger regular role in the rotation.∗
