DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 11, 2019
High Salary SF
Players costing over $6,250
Paul George (at UTA – $9,500): Needs 44.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 23 fantasy points against LA Clippers. If Kawhi ends up playing, take him over George. I just don’t know if Kawhi is going to end up playing because I’m not sure anyone knows if Kawhi will end up playing. George has looked off with the shoulder injury, but he’s done a lot of damage to the Jazz this season, averaging 68 fantasy points in three games against them. But I don’t trust his shoulder right now. Diagnosis: Inconsistent with a high ceiling.
Buddy Hield (at WAS – $7,400): Needs 34.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.5 fantasy points against New York. Hield has been a reliable option for the last month now and he should be more than reliable against the Wizards. He’s more reliable than Fox but I like Fox’s ceiling a bit more in this matchup. Either way, you’re going to get big time production from the Kings backcourt in this matchup. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
Danilo Gallinari (vs BOS – $6,400): Needs 30.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 45.5 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. Gallinari is back to being a reliable option and you should treat him as such. His ceiling is good as well because he gets plenty of scoring opportunities and will chip in with rebounds. He had 39 fantasy points against the Celtics on Feb. 9. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
