DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-January 18

High Value PG

Malcolm Brogdon-Milwaukee Bucks (5,600): There are so many plays from the 6K+ side of the PG player pool that the value side of things is a little thin.  One option that is solid, though, is the Bucks’ rookie Malcolm Brogdon who has seized the starting job from Matthew Dellavedova and now has at least ten points in each of his last ten games. He has over 25 fantasy points in six of those ten games including four of his last five. He had 11-2-6  against the Sixers on Monday, and he’s my favorite sub-6K option tonight as he takes on the Rockets in Houston.∗∗∗

Darren Collison-Sacramento Kings (5,300): Another starter who is available at a cheap price is Collison who has had an up-and-down year after serving his season-starting suspension. Collison could get extra run tonight with Ty Lawson battling an ankle injury, and he has managed 13+ points in four of his last five and six of his last eight. He usually adds a few assists to that for 24+ fantasy points in five of his last eight making him a decent but not great option at just over 5K.∗∗

Cory Joseph-Toronto Raptors (3,900): Joseph was in my DraftKings daily picks but not my lineup before Kyle Lowry was ruled out, but I added him to my lineup once he was starting and he produced a huge night with 44 fantasy points on 33-4-4 against Brooklyn. He’ll probably return to the bench for tonight’s good matchup against the Sixers. Last time the Raptors faced Philly, though, he still managed to play 29 minutes and have over 30 fantasy points on 13-5-7. If the Raptors control the game, Joseph should get a chance to stay hot whether he’s starting or not.
