DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – February 5, 2019
High Salary SG
Players costing over $6,250
Lou Williams (at CHA – $7,300): Needs 34 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 23.5 fantasy points against Toronto. It was a rough night for Williams and the Clippers against the Raptors in what turned out to be a blowout. The Clippers will bounce back in this game. Mainly because the Hornets are not the Raptors. Lou was playing great prior to the Raptors game and I expect him to pick it back up in this one. He had 50.25 fantasy points against the Hornets on Jan. 8. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
CJ McCollum (vs MIA – $7,100): Needs 33 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41.25 fantasy points against Utah. McCollum has been great over his last four games. He’s had some “gimmie” games but also a couple of tough matchups. This is closer to a “gimme” with the way the Heat has been playing. Expect McCollum to keep up his current run on Tuesday. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
Terry Rozier (at CLE – $6,700): Needs 31.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 22.75 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. Kyrie Irving has already been ruled out for this game which means you can take Rozier with all the confidence in the world. He almost always delivers when he’s the starter and now he’s got a great matchup because the Cavaliers stink. Rozier will deliver in a big way. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
