DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-January 5

High Salary SF

Paul George-Indiana Pacers (8,700): PG13 had 32 points against the Pistons on Tuesday giving him at least that many in three of his last four contests. He totaled 46.5 fantasy points on 32-6-2 with a pair of blocks in that contest and has reached 42+ fantasy points in each of those three good games. Tonight, he gets a great matchup against the Nets who are allowing the most fantasy points per game to opposing SF this season, so look for him to be a nice investment tonight even though he could take a seat early if the game turns one-sided. ∗∗∗

Kahwi Leonard-San Antonio Spurs (8,500): After a nasty bout with illness, Leonard looked back to his normal self against the Raptors with 45.5 fantasy points on 25-4-2- with three blocks and two steals. He was rolling before his sickness and now has at least 40 fantasy points in his last four full-strength starts. He’ll be at altitude tonight but in a good matchup against the Nuggets, so I think he’ll be a solid play even though there is some risk due to the fact that in his two games back he has yet to play 30 minutes.∗∗

Harrison Barnes-Dallas Mavericks (7,000): Barnes has been a key contributor for his new team this season, and continues to step up his offensive game for Dallas. He has at least 20 points in five of his last seven games and at least 35 fantasy points in each of his last three. He went off on Tuesday for 44.25 fantasy points against the Wizards on 26-7-5 while throwing in a block as well.

Tonight, he and the Mavs host Phoenix. The Suns have been better against opposing SF lately, but they have given up some big games to the better SF in the league. With Barnes getting more usage in Dallas, he’s stepped up as a great option for DFS on a nightly basis as well. ∗∗∗∗
