DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-January 21
High Value SF
Robert Covington-Philadelphia 76ers (5,500): Covington knocked down the game-winner for the Sixers last night as they edged the Blazers. The starting SF now has double-digit scoring six times in his last seven games and seven times in his last ten. He ended up with 22-6-0 for 35 fantasy points last night, and he can definitely help the Sixers make up for the absence of Joel Embiid as they face the Hawks tonight.∗∗
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist-Charlotte Hornets (5,100): Another surprisingly consistent mid-range play lastly has been MKG who started the season brutally slow but is starting to pick things up. He has at least 27 fantasy points in three of his last four games, and he had a very nice 27.75 fantasy points last night against the Raptors on 8-11-1 with a block and a steal. He could do even better than that tonight against Brooklyn who he posted 12-10-2 for over 30 fantasy points against in their last meeting.∗∗∗
Joe Ingles-Utah Jazz (4,400): With Rodney Hood still out, Ingles will likely get another start at SG against the Pacers. Last night, he played a massive 38 minutes in Dallas and ended up with 12-3-4 and three steals for 27.75 fantasy points. That was his second straight game with over 26 fantasy points and if he can make it three in a row tonight he’ll be a good buy at this price.∗∗
Caris Levert-Brooklyn Nets (3,400): The Nets went on the road to New Orleans last night and exploded for 143 points as they ran past the Pelicans 143-114. One of the players powering their offense was rookie Caris LeVert who went off for 17-5-6 and 36.25 fantasy points after a solid 14-3-4 for 28.5 fantasy points against the Raptors in his previous game. With Jeremy Lin sidelined, the Nets should continue to give the rookie from Michigan a long look giving him huge upside for a player under 3.5 K.∗∗
