DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 31
High Salary C
Rudy Gobert -Utah Jazz ($8200): Gobert has been fantastic of late and tonight he gets a matchup against the Wizards, who have had problems with bigs all year long. Gobert scorched them for 52.75 earlier in the season and the way he’s been playing lately that total doesn’t at all seem like astretch for tongiht.
DeMarcus Cousins -New Orleans Pelicans ($9600): I mentioned earlier that it would be so Boogie for him to absolutely go off against his former team and tonight is his first opportunity to do it. He’s also seemed to finally settle in with New Orleans putting up games of 61.5, 53.5, and 75 FP in his last three. Boogie will exact his revenge tonight.
Anthony Davis -New Orleans Pelicans ($10300): It’s entirely possible they both Boogie and Davis throw down 60+ FP games tonight, but I tend to lean toward Boogie. Still, you can’t argue against playing Davis tonight against a weak Sacramento team that will be very shorthanded. He’s always a threat to lead the slate in fantasy points.
Draymond Green -Golden State Warriors ($7800): I think four of the five Warriors starters are in play tonight and Green has averaged close to 49 FP per game against the Rockets this season, and he had 57.75 FP against them at home in their first meeting this season. Dray is almost always in play for GPPs and that’s definitely the case tonight.
James Johnson – Miami Heat ($6500): JJ can be ran at the power forward slot or center, and he continues to benefit from the absence of Dion Waiters and he just scored 42.25 FP against the Knicks in his last game. The Knicks could be shorthanded again and they are basically done for the season anyway. Another 40+ FP game from JJ seems like a reasonable total tonight.
Zach Randolph -Memphis Grizzlies ($6700): As I mentioned earlier, Marc Gasol is out again tonight so expect ZBo to get plenty of looks against a Dallas team that not only doesn’t defend well against bigs, but they are poor on the boards too. A Conley/ZBo stack could be a game changer tonight.
