DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – January 28, 2019
High Value C
Players costing $6,250 or under
Alex Len (at LAC – $4,300): Needs 20.4 fantasy points. Len’s minutes are a bit down but he continues to put up strong numbers even in limited minutes. And he should get some decent minutes in this game with the Clippers frontcourt. And he’s dominated the Clippers in recent games. He’s averaging 30.4 fantasy points in his last five games against the Clippers. So if he can get the minutes, he’ll deliver in this one. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a high ceiling.
Bismack Biyombo (vs NY – $4,200): Needs 19.9 fantasy points. Biyombo was down to 15.25 fantasy points against the Bucks on Jan. 25 but don’t be too alarmed. The Bucks were a tough matchup. The Knicks are not a tough matchup. Assuming his minutes are back up, Biyombo will easily get his numbers against the Knicks. Because the Knicks are terrible. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
Ed Davis (at BOS – $4,000): Needs 18.9 fantasy points. Davis was up to 45 fantasy points against the Knicks on Jan. 25. It was the Knicks, so it’s tough to put too much stock into the game. But he’s getting solid minutes right now and I don’t know what you’re going to get out of Jarrett Allen. At least Davis won’t hurt you as much with his salary. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.
