DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – April 6
High Salary SF
Paul George – Indiana Pacers ($8900): This is the version of Paul George we all love, not just for DFS purposes. PG13 is so much fun to watch when he’s in HAM mode and he’s averaged 56 FP over his last five games. He’s averaging about 24 shot attempts over his last four games, and he should get close to that again tonight. George is trying will his team into the playoffs, and he’s making DFS players happy in the process.
Jimmy Butler – Chicago Bulls ($9700): I’m all about Butler tonight against the Sixers with a playoff spot on the line. Rajon Rondo is questionable at the time of this writing, and if he’s out Jimmy will handle the ball more as a playmaker. I simply can’t see Jimmy not going for a huge total tonight. A total of 60 FP tonight would not surprise me, and Jimmy has dominated Philly this season.
Andrew Wiggins – Minnesota Timberwolves ($7000): You’d think Wiggins would be putting up big time fantasy points because he gets 20+ shots a night and he is a top scorer on his team. But he just doesn’t contribute in the other columns enough to post monstrous totals. But he is a decent play and can still get to six times value or beyond on some nights. He’s a decent option tonight without a lot of high-priced small forwards.
Carmelo Anthony – New York Knicks ($6600): If Melo gets 37 minutes and 25 shots like he did last game then sign me up at the low cost of $6600. The Wizards/Knicks game should be high scoring, and Melo has averaged about 39 FP per game against Washington this season.
