DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-February 4
High Salary PF
Kevin Love-Cleveland Cavaliers (8,000): Back spasms have cost Love the Cavs last two games limited him to just 12 minutes against the Thunder last Sunday. In his three games before the injury, though, Love had three double-doubles for at least 39 fantasy points including big games against the Pelicans (51.5 fantasy points) and Kings (52 fantasy points). When he has been able to stay on the court, he has put together good games, but he’s a little risky coming back off of injury and making his first start in almost a week.∗∗
Markieff Morris-Washington Wizards (6,900): The Wizards have been getting good play from Morris who has at least 32 fantasy points in each of his last seven games. He had 21-8-1 for 34 fantasy points against the Pelicans last Sunday, and he’ll look to keep his production going tonight as he seeks his third straight double-double.∗∗∗∗
Kristaps Porzingis-New York Knicks (6,700): Earlier this season, it would be unthinkable that Porzingis would be this cheap, but he didn’t have a good January at all which has dropped his cost to under 7K. Porzingis has bee showing signs of turning things back around, though, and he started February on a promising note with 19-12-1 with two blocks for 40.5 fantasy points against the Nets. Tonight, he gets Love and the Cavs in a matchup he should be able to attack.∗∗∗
Ersan Ilyasova-Philadelphia 76ers (6,500): Ilyasova has helped pick up some of the offense left behind by Joel Embiid’s absence and has three double-doubles in his last four games. He had 31-11-1 for 49.25 fantasy points against Chicago on Sunday and 25-10-2 for 51 fantasy points against the Spurs on Thursday in two of his highlights during that run, and in a small-ball style game tonight he should be a good play.∗∗∗
Serge Ibaka-Orlando Magic (6,200): The last PF with a salary over 6K to check out tonight is Serge Ibaka who has over 40 fantasy points in each of his last three games after 44.5 fantasy points last night against the Raptors on 20-12-1 with three blocks. He and the Magic head to Atlanta where he’ll have to tangle with Paul Millsap and Dwight Howard. He only had 9-11-0 against Atlanta early in January, but he is still worth considering given his strong recent form.∗∗∗∗
