DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 4, 2019
High Salary SF
Players costing over $6,250
LeBron James (vs LAC – $11,200): Needs 52.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 64.25 fantasy points against Phoenix. Does LeBron even care? We’re going to find out. Either he once again carries the Lakers the best he can or he passive-aggressively ignores his teammates and decides he’s done with this season. I’m not sure there is an in-between for LeBron. I’m going to trust that he cares and puts up his usual big numbers. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
Buddy Hield (vs NY – $7,000): Needs 32.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 38.75 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Hield continues his hot streak and now he gets the Knicks. The Kings need every win they can get right now if they want to get that final playoff spots and it starts with beating the Knicks. They’ll beat the Knicks. Hopefully not too bad for DFS fans. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
Khris Middleton (at PHO – $6,900): Needs 32.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 50.75 fantasy points against Utah. Middleton is in a similar boat as Hield. Although I think the Suns can make things a bit more competitive as they are at home and the Bucks are playing their third game in four nights. If Bledsoe and Brogdon are out, Middleton will once again see more opportunities in this offense. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
