DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 29
High Value C
Enes Kanter – OKC Thunder ($5100): People will be sleeping on Kanter because of his last outing, but watch him go out and smash the Magic big men tonight. He’s able to put up bursts of fantasy points in little time, so I like him for GPP play tonight.
Ersan Ilyasova – Atlanta Hawks ($6000): As I mentioned in the power forward section, as long as Paul Millsap remains out Ilyasova will continue to see a lot of floor time. He’s been a 30-30 guy of late — 30 or more minutes plus 30 or more fantasy points. That should continue tonight against the Sixers and the Hawks need wins badly to keep their playoff spot.
Frank Kaminsky – Charlotte Hornets ($5100): Frank has averaged 32 FP per game against Toronto this season and he got 15 shots last night against Milwaukee, putting up a total of 30.5 FP. He’s not my favorite play tonight at center, but I can see whee he could exceed value against the Raptors. His floor won’t kill your lineup either.
Kelly Olynyk – Boston Celtics ($4200): Olynyk is a hard player to figure out because Brad Stevens alters his minutes so frequently. But I like the matchup tonight because Milwaukee is a bit soft against bigs and they played last night. Olynyk shoots it much better at home and quite frankly I don’t trust Amir Johnson to have a third-straight excellent game, so Olynyk is in play tonight and I’ll be fading Amir.
Brendan Wright – Memphis Grizzlies ($3100): Wright can be played at either power forward or cneter, but I like Wright only if JaMychal Green sits. He is a GPP play only, but he did get 21 minutes last game with Gasol out and that total should jump if Green sits tonight. His ceiling isn’t going to be high but you are just looking for 5-6x value so you can roster another high-priced stud.
