DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-January 21
High Salary PF
Jabari Parker-Milwaukee Bucks (6,700): Throughout the season, Parker has been a mainstay in my DraftKings daily picks especially when his salary is under 7K. He was in my picks last night when he had 25-6-6 for 41 fantasy points against the Magic giving him at least 34 fantasy points in even of his last eight contests. Last week, he shot 9-20 against Miami and finished with 24-5-2 for 35.75 fantasy points. Sometimes this year, he has struggled on the second night of consecutive games, but he brings a ton of upside for a player under 7K tonight at the top of an iffy PF pool.∗∗
Zach Randolph-Memphis Grizzlies (5,800): Another PF playing for the second night in a row is Zach Randolph who posted a quick 20-10-2 double-double against the Kings last night for 37.4 fantasy points in just 24 minutes. He has at least 37 fantasy points in three of his last four games now including a 16-12-2 game against the Rockets when he had 39.5 fantasy points. He will look to repeat that performance tonight against Houston as the Rockets come to Memphis.∗∗
Ersan Ilyasova-Philadelphia 76ers (5,800): Another solid PF last night in my DraftKings daily picks was Ersan Ilyasova who had 24-6-2 against Portland for 40.5 fantasy points. The matchup tonight is a little tougher against Atlanta, but he is still worth a look especially if he picks up some extra offensive usage with Joel Embiid resting.∗∗∗∗
James Johnson-Miami Heat (5,800): Johnson busted on Thursday and only had 19.5 fantasy points on 5-8-4 against Dallas. Before that, he had posted at least 36 fantasy points in four of his previous six contests, though, including a big 10-2-12 for 36 fantasy points against the Bucks last week. Johnson finds lots of ways to get involved every night off the Miami bench, so I think his last game was an outlier and he’ll be a solid play tonight.∗∗
