DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-April 21
High Value PF
Serge Ibaka-Oklahoma City Thunder (5,900): Ibaka has out-scored Dirk in fantasy points in both of the first two games of this series totaling 37.75 fantasy points in Game 1 on 17 points, nine rebounds, and three blocks and following that up with 29 fantasy points in Game 2 with 12 points, eight rebounds, a block, and two steals. Ibaka costs less than Dirk tonight, but I’d prefer him to the German veteran since he has had a better start to the series and offers more upside. ∗∗∗
Myles Turner-Indiana Pacers (4,700): Turner had a big Game 1 with ten points, five boards, and five blocks for 25.75 fantasy points but only managed 13 fantasy points in Game 2 with eight points, two boards, and two blocks in his 16 minutes. The rookie should fare better at home and has a ton of upside to consider if you are shopping under 5K range at PF. Turner could get some extra playing time tonight if Ian Mahinmi’s back continues to act up as well. Mahinmi is expected to play, but his effectiveness could be limited and Turner has more offensive upside anyway. ∗∗∗
Patrick Patterson-Toronto Raptors (3,400): The best cheap PF play tonight is Patrick Patterson of the Raptors who has played 28 and 31 minutes in the first two games of the series and totaled 20 and 26.5 fantasy points. He had 14 points and six boards on Monday in Game 2, and he should be very involved tonight against the iffy interior defense of the Pacers. ∗∗∗
