DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-April 1
High Value C
Robin Lopez-New York Knicks (5,500): Lopez continues to be a roller-coaster ride with highs of over 50 fantasy points and lows of under 22 fantasy points in three of his last four. He should be ready to tangle with his brother tonight, and he has had limited success in his three games against Brooklyn so far this season. He’s averaging 8.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, and 1.0 assists in the three games he’s taken on Brook this season, but there’s always upside with RoLo if he gets going early. ∗
Jonas Valanciunas-Toronto Raptors (5,300): Valanciunas is back to playing his full share of minutes after another hand injury scare that cost in four games earlier this month. He has at least 32 fantasy points in three of his last four games and went off for 49 fantasy points against Houston when he finished with 16 points and 18 boards. Big V should be a solid play tonight as he takes on the Grizzlies who have been totally demolished by injuries especially down low. ∗∗∗∗∗
Tyson Chandler-Phoenix Suns (4,700): Chandler has played well when healthy the last few weeks and has four double-doubles in his last four games in which he has reached 30 minutes. He had 13 points and 13 boards against the Bucks on Wednesday in 34 minutes for 37.75 fantasy points. He’s a solid cheap play at center for tonight who has the potential for a big game against Washington if he gets his full share of playing time. ∗∗∗∗
Willie Cauley-Stein-Sacramento Kings (4,600): With Boogie out, Cauley-Stein will get plenty of work down low tonight against the Heat. He’s coming off a bad game after managing just 16.25 fantasy points on Wednesday, but he did have 31+ fantasy points in his three previous games and will get all the playing time he can handle tonight against Hassan Whiteside and the Heat. ∗∗∗∗∗
Kosta Koufos-Sacramento Kings (4,100): Koufos should get some good run against the Heat tonight since Boogie will be sidelined due to suspension. Koufos has totaled 25.75 and 38.25 fantasy points in his last two games without Cousins, so he’s a solid flier pickup tonight if you go cheap at center. ∗∗∗
