DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – April 7
High Value PG
Beno Udrih – Detroit Pistons ($3500): The Pistons have been eliminated from the playoffs, suffering a total collapse in the last month. Udrih has been productive when given minutes, which seems like the story of his career. With Reggie Jackson done for the season, Udrih has been getting run as Ish Smith’s backup and he’s been putting up decent fantasy point totals. He’s had 32.75 and 23.25 in his last two games, and playing Houston increases the amount of possessions where he’ll have the ball in his hands.
Jamal Murray – Denver Nuggets ($4500): Jameer Nelson looks to be out again so Murray makes for a great play if that’s the case. He just had a nice 16/5/5 game good for 31.5 FP against New Orleans and it’s not like there will be much defense played in this meaningless game. Give the kid 15 shots again tonight and he will exceed value.
Tyler Ennis – L.A. Lakers ($5000): At $5K, I only like Ennis if D’Angelo Russell sits out again, and the Lakers would be wise to do so with their franchise guard. If he doesn’t play then I like Ennis tonight against Sacramento. It will be a high-scoring game and if Ennis runs point it seems reasonable that he would be right around value or better.
Lou Williams – Houston Rockets ($5700): Do you have one more left in you, Lou? The good news: people will be fading Sweet Lou hard. The bad news: he’s just 3-for-23 from distance over his last five games. It seems odd, but Williams has done well against Detroit this season, even though they play slow and have a solid defense. Williams will break the slump before the postseason begins. Is tonight the night?
