DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 17, 2019
High Value C
Players costing $6,250 or under
Robin Lopez (at SAC – $6,200): Needs 30.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 44.5 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Lopez is still on a roll and until I see him showing signs of slipping, he should continue to get it done. The Kings probably aren’t the matchup that are going to knock him off his current roll. His salary has gone up but don’t let that concern you. He just continues to play great for the Bulls. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
Dewayne Dedmon (at ORL – $5,400): Needs 25.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.25 fantasy points against Boston. Dedmon is getting the minutes and even though Len might have the higher ceiling, Dedmon is the better option due to the minutes he’s going to get. And Dedmon has shown a high ceiling throughout the season, especially after the break. He should be in for another strong night on Sunday. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
Ivica Zubac (vs BKN – $4,700): Needs 22.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 20.75 fantasy points against Chicago. Zubac will always get you at least 20 fantasy points and even though that might be just short of value, it’s still decent numbers. And he should be over value in this game because the Nets have very little frontcourt presence and they are on a back-to-back. Zubac will deliver. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
