DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 31
High Value PG
Cory Joseph – Toronto Raptors ($5400): It’s crunch time for the Raptors and CoJo has stepped up his game of late with back-to-back games of 40+ FP. The Raps still have an outside shot at the top seed in the East, so there will be no chill from them tonight on their own floor against an average Indiana defense. Teague isn’t a great defender, so CoJo may be on his way to another 40 spot tonight. He dropped 32 on them earlier this month.
Jeff Teague – Indiana Pacers ($6400): Teague had a game to forget against the Grizzlies last time out but Indiana still needs to compete in order to preserve their playoff spot. The fade will likely be on for Teague tonight, but he has a reasonable salary in a meaningful game, and hitting value or more is not a huge ask tonight.
Shelvin Mack – Utah Jazz ($3900): With both George Hill and Raul Neto out, Mack will be in charge of the Jazz offense tonight. The Wiz will push the pace and make the Jazz play faster than usual, and Mack shouldn’t have many problems getting to value.
Matthew Dellavedova – Milwaukee Bucks ($3200): Malcolm Brogdon is out tonight so Dellavedova makes for an interesting play at just $3200. Assuming Delly gets 25 minutes, he should make for a decent value olay that would allow you to spend up for a big name elsewhere. He hasn’t had much success against Detroit this season but they are simply a mess right now.
Tyler Johnson – Miami Heat ($5400): The Knicks could be without Melo and Derrick Rose tonight and even with those two starting they give up a lot of points. Johnson could see more run than usual if they get up big on the Knicks, but he just feels like a solid value play tonight no matter the circumstances. I like CoJo and Teague more, but Tyler could be a solid contrarian play.
