DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-March 20
High Value PF
Kristaps Porzingis-New York Knicks (5,700): Porzingis had a great game last night scoring 20 points to go with seven rebounds, there blocks, and two assists for 36.25 fantasy points. He has at least 35 fantasy points in two of his last three games, but he’s high-risk since he did just log 39 minutes last night and has been limited lately due to multiple injuries and fatigue from his first NBA season. There’s a ton of upside to Porzingis’s matchup against the Kings, but he could also disappoint since his playing time is uncertain. ∗∗
Amir Johnson-Boston Celtics (3,900): The Celtics big-man rotation is always in flux, but Johnson seems to be trending back toward fantasy usability as of late. He has played over 20 minutes in three straight games with over 17 fantasy points in each of those contests including a big game against the Thunder when he totaled 36.5 fantasy points on 11 points and 12 rebounds as well as five assists and a block. Johnson will take on the Sixers in a good matchup for him tonight if he again gets 20+ minutes on the floor. ∗∗
Kevin Seraphin-New York Knicks (3,000): Another cheap play to consider tonight is Kevin Seraphin of the Knicks. Seraphim has played good minutes the last two games and could have a bigger role tonight if Kristaps Porzingis is fatigued from his heavy workload last night. Seraphim played 19 minutes against the Warriors and had 20.25 fantasy points on 12 points, three rebounds, and three assists. He followed that up with a matching 20.25 fantasy points more against the Wizards on six points and nine rebounds even though he only played 14 minutes. His minutes are the big risk with Seraphin, but he’s showing he can produce solid numbers when given a chance ∗
