DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – April 1
High Value SG
Evan Fournier – Orlando Magic ($5600): There isn’t a lot of value at shooting guard tonight but Fournier is a player who can get to 40 FP if he’s given the shot attempts, and he has a spicy matchup tonight against the Nets. He had a stellar 24/6/5 game against the Thunder earlier this week for 40 FP, and anything close to that tonight would be a big win for your lineup.
Denzel Valentine – Chicago Bulls ($3900): Valentine continues to see plenty of court time, and you can put him at shooting guard or small forward. He came back from a bit of a rough week to post 24 FP against Cleveland in his last game and he’s shown his ceiling can get to a bit under 40 if he gets the usage. He also had 27 FP in just 24 minutes earlier in the year against the Hawks.
Kent Bazemore – Atlanta Hawks ($4300): Bazemore came back on fire after an absence of almost two weeks, dropping 38 FP on the Sixers in just 20 minutes of playing time. I wouldn’t expect that tonight from the Bulls, but he has averaged just around 24 FP per game against them this season and I would figure him for a similar total again tonight.
Ben McLemore – Sacramento Kings ($3000): The Lazarus-like resurrection of McLemore’s season has been an interesting DFS story this week. He’s received 25 or minutes in each of his last two games and averaged 29 FP during that span. At the bare minimum salary he won’t kill you if he reverts to previous form, but for now it looks like the Kings are going to actually give him starter minutes again.
