DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – February 8, 2019
High Value SF
Players costing $6,250 or under
Josh Jackson (vs GS – $5,900): Needs 26.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 51 fantasy points against Utah. The matchup is tough but with the injuries to Warren and possible Booker, Jackson is the most reliable option on the Suns and someone has to get those numbers for them. Jackson is the best option at the moment and he’s been playing well as of late. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
Otto Porter Jr. (at BKN – $5,800): Needs 26.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.5 fantasy points against Atlanta. I don’t know if Porter is going to play. But assuming he plays, he’s a strong option because the matchup is good against the Nets and the Bulls are going to need scoring help with LaVine potentially out of the lineup. And Porter Jr will be more featured on Chicago. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
Jeff Green (vs CLE – $5,300): Needs 24 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34 fantasy points against Milwaukee. One guy who will definitely be in the lineup is Green. But if Parker and Portis are in the lineup for the Wizards, I’m not quite sure where Green fits in. If he starts, I assume he’ll play big minutes and you can take him with confidence. It’s the Cavs, who you should always take advantage of. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
