DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – May 4, 2018
High Salary SG
James Haden ($10,800): Harden didn’t play particularly well in Game 2, but still managed 61.5 fantasy points. He needs a big game to hit value once again, but the Rockets system always allows him to have those games. Harden will do his thing once again, ending up around 60 fantasy points. ****
Donovan Mitchell ($8,300): Mitchell turned into Ricky Rubio in Game 2 and the Jazz offense looked much smoother because of it. He’s always a threat to score, but if he’s now becoming a playmaker, look out. The Jazz have been great at home all playoffs and Mitchell is a big reason why. *****
High Value SG
Klay Thompson ($5,900): Thompson was down to 22 fantasy points in Game 2. The return of Steph Curry was always going to cut into his value, but in Game 2 he was simply cold from the field. Don’t expect that to be the case again in Game 3 if he gets the same looks he got in Game 2. ****
E’Twaun Moore ($4,100): Moore has been solid in this series, hitting value in both games. His salary has dropped and at home, where role players play better, he’ll be good enough to get you value. Minutes matter and Moore gets plenty of them. ***
