DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-November 16
High Salary PF
Anthony Davis-New Orleans Pelicans (10,900): Davis will probably be the least-owned 10K+ player tonight which could set you up for a big win if he goes off against the Magic in what should be a very attackable matchup for him. Davis had 25 points and 16 rebounds against the Celtics for 55 fantasy points on Monday after leaving Saturday’s game briefly with a back scare for his fantasy owners. “The Brow” has at least 50 fantasy points in five straight but hasn’t reached 60 in any of his last seven games. The Magic do have Serge Ibaka and Bismack Biyombo to throw at him tonight, but Orlando has been struggling so badly that it’s one of the few games where New Orleans should end up in a close game down the stretch. ∗∗∗
Draymond Green-Golden State Warriors (8,200): Green continues to find ways to contribute to the Warriors and his fantasy owners. He had a nice double-double against the Suns on Sunday with defensive numbers boosting him to 49.75 fantasy points. While that was his best total since opening night, he has consistently been around 40 fantasy points with five straight games with at least 38 fantasy points. Green’s game is so multi-faceted that he’s a low-risk play although his ceiling is somewhat limited since he usually isn’t the focus of the offense.∗∗∗
Kristaps Porzingis-New York Knicks (6,900): Porzinigis is still surprisingly under 7K on DraftKings. He has at least 38 fantasy points in six straight games, but has 42.25, 41.5, and 44 in his last three home games where the Knicks in general and he specificially has looked much more comfortable this season. He comes into tonight’s matchup against the Pistons off of a very solid 24-point, 11-rebound double-double on Monday against the Mavs. Detroit could be without Andre Drummond again which would leave them short (both literally and figuratively) on bodies to run at Porzingis tonight. He has a ton of upside at this affordable price.∗∗∗∗
Jabari Parker-Milwaukee Bucks (6,300) Parker has been a roller-coaster ride lately, but it looks like it’s time for an “up” game as he and the Bucks take on the Hawks. Parker has at least 39 fantasy points in three of his last five games but has been held under 27 fantasy points in his other two contests. His inconsistency doesn’t seem to be tied to any one particular factor, but playing a Hawks team on a back-to-back after he’s had there days off are definitely factors in his favor tonight. ∗∗
Markieff Morris-Washington Wizards (6,100): Morris had his best game of the season on Saturday with 24 points and 15 rebounds against the Bulls. He finished with a season-high 51.75 fantasy points giving him four games in his last six with at least 30 fantasy points. Tonight, he’s in a great matchup against the Sixers and makes sense as a 6K play with lots of upside as he continues to play well in Scott Brooks’ new system in Washington. ∗∗∗∗
