DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – April 1
High Salary SF
Terrence Ross – Orlando Magic ($5100): There isn’t a lot of great value on the small slate tonight but Ross does intrigue me. He can go big on occasion and we all know this from his days as a Raptor. He’s been steady of late too with a range of 27-32.5 FP over his last six games. The matchup is favorable too. He looks like a nice value play with a decent chance to give you 6x value tonight.
Denzel Valentine – Chicago Bulls ($3900): I mentioned earlier in the piece that 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): Available at small forward or shooting guard, 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.
Moe Harkless – Portland Trailblazers ($4300): Harkless had been posting duds all week until he exploded for 35 FP against Houston on Thursday night. He went from getting low single-digit shot attempts to 13, and with Jusuf Nurkic out Harkless may see that many looks again tonight in a spicy matchup against the Suns. He’s a very risky play, so buyer beware, but the team chemistry has changed overnight and Harkless could be the main beneficiary.
