DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – January 4, 2019
High Value SF
Players costing $6,250 or under
Harrison Barnes (at BOS – $5,600): Needs 25.8 fantasy points. Barnes has been at value or better in six of his last seven. His minutes have been down in his last two, but that’s due to blowouts. His value is still largely tied to his scoring, but he is chipping in with rebounds, which helps him out. He typically plays well against the Celtics, averaging 36.5 fantasy points in his last three games against them. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
Kyle Anderson (vs BKN – $5,200): Needs 24 fantasy points. The arrival of Justin Holiday may limit Anderson’s role moving forward, so grab him while he’s still a useful option. He’s been good during this recent stretch and shown a high ceiling. He’s been scoring well, which is a good sign as he always contributes in other areas. The Nets are rolling right now, but they are a good DFS matchup. Diagnosis: Reliable with a decent ceiling.
Jeff Green (at MIA – $5,100): Needs 23.5 fantasy points. Green has been over 40 fantasy points in his last two games. Once again, if he gets the minutes, he’s going to produce. And he’s getting the minute right now. He’s a guy who does a bit of everything and even though he’s still Jeff Green, he’s the best version of himself right now. The Wizards a mess of a team in real life, but they have some very strong DFS options. Diagnosis: Reliable with a very high ceiling.
