DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-November 25
High Salary PF
Anthony Davis-New Orleans Pelicans (10,700): Davis has helped the Pelicans to their most promising stretch of play in the last few seasons and has posted over 68 fantasy points in three of his last four games. He followed up a downer in Atlanta (when injury was involved) with 68.5 fantasy points on Wednesday against Minnesota on 45-10-3. Davis has been showing all season why he’s one of the young stars to watch in the NBA, and he should be a huge DFS play tonight since he and the Pelicans are in Portland where they’ll face the Blazers who don’t have starting PF Al-Farouq Aminu. The Blazers are allowing the most fantasy points per game to opposing PF by a four-point margin and were just crushed by Kevin Love on Wednesday. They won’t be able to offer much resistance to “The Brow” tonight, so get him in your lineup if you are going to build around one star player tonight. ∗∗∗∗
Kevin Love-Cleveland Cavaliers (7,800): Speaking of Kevin Love, he finished with 62 fantasy points in just 32 minutes against Portland on Wednesday including scoring an insane 34 points in the first quarter. He only scored six the rest of the way to finish with 40-8-3, but hie carried my FanDueldaily picks and many fantasy lineups to plenty of success in that contest. He did finish just short of a double-double snapping his streak of seven-straight double-double performances. He has at least 35 fantasy points in nine of his last ten games and should be able to dominate Dirk and the Mavs tonight. The only risk with Love is that the game could get ugly early leaving him with fewer minutes.∗∗∗
Kristaps Porzingis-New York Knicks (7,700): The Knicks’ Kristaps Porzingis filled up the stat sheet on Tuesday against Portland with 46.25 fantasy points on 31-9-1. He has at least 34 fantasy points in each of his last five contests and should be able to produce another good line tonight as the Knicks start their back-to-back home-and-home set with the Hornets. ∗∗
Paul Millsap-Atlanta Hawks (7,300): Another nice option at under 8K is Paul Millsap who is in a potential revenge game as the Hawks head back to Utah where he started his career as a second-round pick in the 2006 NBA Draft. Millsap had a big game of his own on Wednesday finishing with 53.25 fantasy points on 18-11-5 with three blocks and four steals. He now has at least 41 fantasy points in four of his last five games and should be ready to put a big number up tonight against teh team he left as a free agent.∗∗∗∗
Jabari Parker-Milwaukee Bucks (6,700): The Raptors have been pretty good defensively for much of the season, but they have struggled recently with PF and have now allowed the sixth-most fantasy points per game to opposing PF. Parker has been a little up-and-down this season but he has been able to get at least 38 fantasy points in three of his last four games including his 22-3-3 against the Magic and 28-5-5 against the Warriors in his last two games. Parker is putting together a good season and makes sense at this price point in this matchup tonight. ∗∗∗
Gorgui Dieng-Minnesota Timberwolves (6,200): The Timberwolves have been a disappointment so far this season, but Dieng has established himself as a solid play at PF next to Karl-Anthony Towns. Dieng played just 24 minutes on Wednesday in the Wolves’ blowout loss but still managed 29.5 fantasy points on 13-8-5. He has at least eight rebounds in six straight and over 25 fantasy points in each of his last five. His block numbers have been a little down lately, but he is a nightly double-double threat and definitely worth a look at just over 6K. ∗∗∗
