DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – February 4, 2019
High Salary SG
Players costing over $6,250
James Harden (at PHO – $12,900): Needs 60 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 86.5 fantasy points against Utah. It’s James Harden against the Suns. Chris Paul should be back in this game which could limit Harden’s ceiling and maybe this game turns into a blowout which would also limit his ceiling. But it’s still James Harden against the Suns. Few things in life are more guaranteed than Harden posting a big game than a matchup against the Suns. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling and a ceiling that is the roof if the Suns keep it close.
Bradley Beal (vs ATL – $9,100): Needs 42 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Beal continues to be a reliable option for the Wizards. He’s averaging 50.3 fantasy points in three games against the Hawks this season. He’ll deliver once again. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
Khris Middleton (at BKN – $6,400): Needs 29.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 38.25 fantasy points against Washington. Middleton has been playing well as of late and now he gets a good matchup against the Nets. He had 48.5 fantasy points against the Nets on Dec. 29 and I continue to love his game next to Giannis. Especially if Bledsoe remains out of the lineup. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
