DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-February 1
High Value PG
T.J. McConnell-Philadlphia 76ers (5,400): the Sixers are suddenly surging and McConnell is playing great basketball at the point position despite not scoring a ton of points. McConnell has at least 30 fantasy points in each of his last four games and is near a double-double with points and assists almost every night. Tonight, he and the Sixers are in Dallas which is a tough PG matchup, but he’s still worth a look since he’s under-priced.∗∗
Brandon Jennings-New York Knicks (5,200): The Knicks take on their intracity rivals from Brooklyn tonight. The Nets have allowed the most fantasy points in the NBA this season to opposing PG which sets up perfectly for Brandon Jennings who is expected to start again in place of the injured Derrick Rose and has put up 43.25 fantasy points (18-3-11) and 37.25 fantasy points (21-5-2) in his last two games while filling in. With this matchup, Jennings has too much upside to pass up even in a field with so many good options.∗∗∗∗∗
Matthew Dellavedova-Milwauke Bucks (4,400): Delly has at least 19 fantasy points in each of his five games since returning to the Bucks’ starting five and has over 27 fantasy points in three of those games including his most recent game which was last Saturday against Boston when he had 14-3-6 for 27.25 fantasy points. Dellavedova doesn’t have an ultra-high ceiling, but he will almost certainly not go totally bust even though his price is very affordable as he and Milwaukee head to Utah.∗∗
Yogi Ferrell-Dallas Mavericks (4,000): Ferrell is another almost must-play tonight after he has jumped right in to the Mavericks’ lineup and produced two strong games against the Spurs (9-2-7, 26.5 fantasy points) and the Cavs (19-5-3, 38.25 fantasy points). With Deron Williams and J.J. Barea still out, look for plenty of Yogi tonight making him an incredibly 4K bargain.∗∗∗∗
