DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 1, 2019
High Value C
Players costing $6,250 or under
Jarrett Allen (vs CHA – $5,300): Needs 25.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 27.5 fantasy points against Washington. Allen has been a bit inconsistent since the break but the minutes are typically there for him and this is a good matchup given the Hornets lack of frontcourt players. He had 34.75 fantasy points against the Hornets on Feb. 23. The points, rebounds, and defensive numbers should be there in this one. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
Brook Lopez (at LAL – $5,000): Needs 24.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.25 fantasy points against Sacramento. You know what you’re getting from Lopez on most nights and now he gets a revenge game against the Lakers. For some reason, the Lakers didn’t think they needed Lopez even though he’s the best shooter in the league. He’ll be in for a big night in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
Robin Lopez (at ATL – $4,900): Needs 23.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 18.25 fantasy points against Memphis. Robin was down against the Grizzlies but I’m not too concerned. The minutes are there in a big way and the Hawks are a much better matchup. Expect Robin to return to form based on the minutes he will get and the matchup. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
