DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – April 24, 2018
High Salary SG
Khris Middleton ($8,100): Middleton has looked nearly unstoppable in this series. He’s been over 40 fantasy points in three of the four games and continues to be the perfect running mate next to Giannis Antetokounmpo. He needs 36 fantasy points to hit value in Game 5. There is little concern about Middleton’s game right now and he should perform once again. ****
Jaylen Brown ($7,300): Brown bounced back from his 18 fantasy point performance in Game 3 with 53.5 fantasy points in Game 4. Aside from Game 3, he’s been great in this series. He’s getting it done with his scoring and rebounding and proving to be a problem for the Bucks. ****
High Value SG
Dwyane Wade ($5,800): If Josh Richardson is unable to play, Wade might be inserted into the starting lineup. With the season on the line, Wade will raise his game to the level it needs to be at. That said, this salary is a bit off putting and he does come with a certain risk because there are questions of whether he can repeat his Game 4 performance. But doubting Wade is a fool’s game and the circumstances dictate another big game.. ***
J.J. Redick ($5,600): It was Redick who went off in Game 4, posting 36.25 fantasy points. You can seemingly flip a coin on who will have a better game between him and Marco Belinelli. As I’ve said all series, I like Redick more because he plays with the starters and is more consistent. But Belinelli is easier to fit into your lineup at $300 and makes for a nice option. ***
