DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-April 21
High Salary SF
Kevin Durant-Oklahoma City Thunder (10,200): Durant just wasn’t very good in Game 2 against the Mavericks shooting just 7-33 on his way to 21 points in 44 minutes. He still had 34.75 fantasy points despite his seven turnovers, but he and the Thunder need to bounce back tonight and re-establish themselves as clearly the better team in this matchup with the Mavs. In their Game 1 rout, Durant only had to play 27 minutes to total 36.25 fantasy points. He should bounce back, but with consecutive games under 40 fantasy points to start the playoffs he isn’t as much of a lock as he usually is.∗∗
Paul George-Indiana Pacers (9,000): George dominated Game 1 for the Pacers posted 59 fantasy points on 33 points, six assists, four steals, two blocks, and four boards. He came back to earth with just 36.5 fantasy points in Game 2 even though he still scored 28 points since his non-scoring numbers were down a bit. He’ll be home tonight and should be especially fired up, so I think he has another monster game especially if Monta Ellis isn’t there to share the load. My guess is that Monta will play, but either way PG13 is a great option since he can give you star-like numbers while costing you just 9K of your salary. ∗∗∗∗∗
