DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 31
High Value SF
Trevor Ariza – Houston Rockets ($5900): Ariza has been going off since he was moved to the power forward slot with totals of 38.75, 35, and 50.5 in his last three games. The price is still inviting at just $5900, and a matchup with the Warriors means mega-fantasy points are available. Ariza should have little problem hitting value tonight.
Jae Crowder – Boston Celtics ($6000): Crowder gets to go up against a lousy Orlando defense tonight, one that could be without Aaron Gordon. Crowder has averaged 37.3 in two games against Orlando this season, and tonight he should be able to connect from long range, something he struggled with in his last game against Milwaukee.
Joe Johnson – Utah Jazz ($4500): JJ has four straight games with double-digit shot attempts and 20+ FP. The pace quickens for the Jazz tonight against the Wizards, and with both George Hill and Derrick Favors still out, JJ will have ample opportunity to get to or exceed value. Utah needs to win to keep home court for the first round, so I expect them to bring it tonight at home.
Timothe Luwawu-Caborrot ($4500), Justin Anderson ($4000): Robert Covington is out tonight so both TLC and Anderson are in play tonight. Both players have shown they can prodcuce when given enough run and that will be the case tonight. Both players should get 25 minutes or more tonight, and the Cavs defense has been an utter mess of late.
