DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – February 23, 2019
High Salary SG
Players costing over $6,250
Bradley Beal (vs IND – $9,300): Needs 42.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 67.5 fantasy points against Charlotte. You just know what you’re getting from Beal at this point. He’s been a strong option all season and he’ll be a strong option against the Pacers. It’s a back-to-back, which means weird things could happen, and the Pacers are a tough matchup but I’m not doubting Beal at this point. He’s just been too good this season. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
Jrue Holiday (vs LAL – $7,800): Needs 36.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34.75 fantasy points against Indiana. The Pelicans and Holiday are probably better off without Davis at this point. And I’m sure how much Davis will end up playing in this one. I know Holiday will play hard because he’s probably not happy about all those pre-deadline rumors and Davis wanting to leave New Orleans for LA. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
Buddy Hield (at OKC – $6,500): Needs 29.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.75 fantasy points against Golden State. Hield has settled into a nice rhythm and now he gets a team he rarely misses against. He had 56.5 fantasy points the last time thiese two teams met. And the Thunder is on a back-to-back. I love Hield in this game and am expecting a big performance out of him given the way he typically kills them and the circumstances surrounding the game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
