DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – January 23, 2018
High Value PG
Spencer Dinwiddie, BKN at OKC ($5,900): Dinwiddie has been over 30 fantasy points in his last two games. He had 20.5 fantasy points against the Thunder on Dec. 7, but played only 19 minutes due to foul trouble. D’Angelo Russell is still working his way back and clearly isn’t 100 percent quite yet. Until he works himself back into game shape, Dinwiddie is the top perimeter option on the Nets and should be treated as such. ****
De’Aaron Fox, SAC at ORL ($5,200): Fox had 32.25 fantasy points against the Hornets on Monday. He’s been hit-and-miss in back-to-back situation, but most of those misses were early in the season, when his playing time was inconsistent. He’s a big part of the Kings youth movement right now and figures to get 30+ minutes once again. The Magic are 19th against the position in their last 15 games. Fox has missed value just twice since returning from injury on Jan. 2. He should be over value once again on Tuesday. ****
Dejounte Murray, SA vs CLE ($4,600): Murray drew the start for San Antonio against the Pacers and delivered 28.75 fantasy points. It looks like he’ll be the starting point guard moving forward. He’s been a bust for the majority of the season, hitting value in just 35 percent of games. His increased role and the matchup project a big night for the Spurs guard. The Cavaliers are a mess on and off the court right now and should be taken advantage of until they prove they can muster up any kind of defense. *****
