DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-November 21
High Value PF
Gorgui Dieng-Minnesota Timberwolves (5,800): Dieng has returned to his do-it-all form lately for the Wolves although his block numbers have still been a bit down. He has been a point away from three straight double-doubles in his last three games and has at least 25 fantasy points in each of those contests. He had nine points and 11 boards in a season-high 36 minutes against Memphis on Saturday, and he should be able to perform even better tonight against Boston if he plays that much again. ∗∗∗
Markieff Morris-Washington Wizards (5,600): Morris is in a revenge game for him after he left Phoenix last year very unhappy with how he and his brother were treated. He missed practice Sunday, but he’ll do all he can to get on the floor and light up the Suns tonight. If he plays, he’ll have a great matchup since the Suns are allowing more fantasy points per game to opposing PF than any other team in action tonight. Morris had to leave his last game after just nine minutes, but he has had some good games lately for the Wiz including his 24-point, 15-rebound game against the Bulls a week ago Saturday.∗∗∗∗
Thaddeus Young-Indiana Pacers (5,500): Young stepped up for the Pacers last night when he was in my DraftKings daily picks but not with as much confidence as I should have had in him. He ended up with a big 20-11-1 double-double and posted 41.25 fantasy points. He has at least 24 fantasy points in six straight and will be more involved again on offense with PG13 and C.J. Miles out tonight against Golden State. He’ll probably have to deal with Draymond, but I think he’ll get 25-35 fantasy points again in tonight’s contest.∗∗∗
Dario Saric-Philadelphia 76ers (4,700): Saric has played well since moving to the bench for the Sixers. He has 29.5, 27, and 28.25 fantasy points in his three games since leaving the staring lineup and seems to feel less pressure and get more chances with the second unit. Saric scores solid points almost every game and adds in decent rebounds and steals. He will continue to get plenty of run in his rookie year and is a good value at under 5K.∗∗∗
Jared Dudley-Phoenix Suns (4,000): Dudley is in a revenge game too as he faces the Wizards and Markieff Morris. Dudley failed to produce much on Saturday with just 14.75 fantasy points, but he had at least 28 fantasy points in four of his five previous games and should be motivated enough to be the flier you want to target at 4K at PF tonight.∗∗∗
