DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-March 28
High Salary SF
Kevin Durant-Oklahoma City Thunder (10,000): Coming off a big 31-point, ten-rebound double-double on Saturday, Durant heads to Toronto as the Thunder face the Raptors. Durant has at least 48 fantasy points in five of his last six games and continues to score 20+ points every night with solid peripherals. He takes on the Raptors tonight who still are waiting for DeMarre Carroll to return to solidify their SF spot and are using several defensively inferior options to fill in while he’s out. If Durant and the Thunder want to make a statement tonight, they could be in for a big game north of the border in Toronto. ∗∗∗∗
Carmelo Anthony-New York Knicks (8,300): Melo and the Knicks should be able to put up good numbers against the Pelicans injury-depleted lineup tonight in the Big Easy. Anthony comes into tonight’s game with some momentum as a result of over 43 fantasy points in each of his last two and at least 20 points in eight of his last nine. ∗∗∗
Gordon Hayward-Utah Jazz (6,600): Hayward is helping the Jazz battle for the playoffs, and they can move to .500 with a win tonight over the Lakers. Earlier this season, Hayward played against the Lakers twice averaging 19.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.5 blocks, and 1.0 steals. He struggled on Thursday as Utah was routed by the Thunder, but has been solid aside from that outing since returning from a foot injury that cost him two games. Hayward can definitely produce at a high level when he’s at his best, and he’ll be in a good place to reach that level tonight against the Lakers who allow the second-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing SF.∗∗∗
