DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-April 21
High Value SF
Harrison Barnes-Golden State Warriors (4,600): Barnes was on the floor for 33 minutes against the Rockets in Game 2, but he shot a dreadful 1-10 and was held to just six points, five boards, and 17.25 fantasy points. He did have 20.4 fantasy points in Game 1, but he hasn’t been able to really turn things up as you would expect in such a good matchup against the Rockets. Barnes has plenty of upside as he helps the Warriors cover for Curry tonight, but he isn’t guaranteed of many numbers besides a heaping helping of minutes. ∗∗
Andre Iguodala-Golden State Warriors (3,900): The Golden State SF that I think makes more sense than Barnes tonight is Andre Iguodala since he basically serves as backup PG when Steph is out. AI had 33.75 fantasy points in Game 2 on 18 points, three boards, three assists, and two steals. He played 27 minutes in Game 1 too, so he’ll be on the floor plenty whether Curry is in or out. Iguodala rested for long stretches of the season, but it looks like he’s ready to find his playoff gear moving forward. ∗∗∗∗
Justin Anderson-Dallas Mavericks (3,200): While he and Charlie Villanueva made most peoples’ Twitter feed for their dance-related activities, he actually had a solid game as well picking up six points and five rebounds in his 14 minutes off the bench for 17.25 fantasy points. If Devin Harris and Raymond Felton are less effective in Game 3, Anderson could get even more time and he has shown he can produce when given time on the floor since Chandler Parsons was lost for the season due to injury.∗∗
Solomon Hill-Indiana Pacers (3,200): Hill played 26 and 27 minutes in the first two games of the series, but he hasn’t had a lot of production to show for it with just 16 and 12 fantasy points. He could be a little more involved tonight depending on the status of Monta Ellis who missed practice yesterday for personal reasons. Hill is getting enough playing time to be one of the better cheap plays of the night regardless of Ellis’s status and could definitely find some solid fantasy production if he joins his scoring from Game 1 with his rebounding from Game 2. ∗∗
