DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-March 22
High Value SG
Louis Williams-Los Angeles Lakers (5,000): Williams has been exceptional for LA since returning from his five-game absence due to a hamstring injury, and I’m surprised his price is still this cheap. He had 30 points on Friday against the Suns totaling 41.75 fantasy points in just 29 minutes. He has over 25 fantasy points in each of his three games since returning and continues to be a source of instant offense for LA. Coach Byron Scott has been hesitant to ride D’Angelo Russell all season which has led to a good season for Williams, and I think he’s a strong play tonight against Memphis in a game the Lakers should be able to keep close tonight on National TV. ∗∗∗∗
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson-Brooklyn Nets (4,500): He’s probably too risky to plug-and-play him in his first game back for the Nets since we’re not sure what kind of minutes limit the promising rookie will be on in his first game in his first game since early December. RHJ will definitely be worth watching in the coming weeks, though, since the Nets need offense and will want to see what they have in Hollis-Jefferson going forward. He’s more of a watch-and-see mention than someone to drop right into your lineup, but he does have a ton of long-term upside.∗
Josh Richardson-Miami Heat (4,300): Richardson has been playing increasing minutes for the Heat and has made the most of them lately. He has at least 17 points in four of his last five games and has produced at least 27 fantasy points in five of his last six. He had 19 points and 29.5 fantasy points against the Cavs on Saturday while playing an extended 32 minutes. He has been heating it up lately and is a nice play against the Pelicans tonight since they’re a great matchup for opposing SG and Richardson would play big minutes even if the game did get out of hand. ∗∗∗∗
Sean Kilpatrick-Brooklyn Nets (3,100): Kilparick has been very successful in his two ten-day contracts with the Nets and is reportedly about to sign a two-year, fully guaranteed deal. Kilpatrick has scored in double-digits in seven of his last eight games and has over 17 fantasy points in four straight contests. He’s a cheap flier with a limited ceiling, but he’s getting enough playing time for Brooklyn and scoring enough points to be the best ultra-cheap option tonight at guard tonight. ∗∗
