DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 27, 2019
High Salary SG
Players costing over $6,250
Bradley Beal (at PHO – $9,000): Needs 42.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43.25 fantasy points against LA Lakers. I don’t know what you’re getting out of Beal anymore because the Wizards are cooked and he has no reason to bust his ass to put up hollow numbers. He’s not Devin Booker. The Suns are a great matchup but Beal could easily just fall back and coast. Or get the night off because the Wizards have no reason to play him given the circumstances. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a high ceiling.
Donovan Mitchell (vs LAL – $7,900): Needs 37.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 23 fantasy points against Phoenix. The concern in this one is that the Jazz don’t need Mitchell to be Mitchell because they are up against the Lakers. But with injuries, we’ve already covered everyone we need to cover at the position. Mitchell will get his numbers even in a blowout. But it might not be enough. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
Klay Thompson (at MEM – $7,000): Needs 32.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31 fantasy points against Detroit. Klay has been a little cold in the last two games but I’m not concerned about him. The shots will always be there and the Grizzlies will try hard, but they just aren’t a very good team if the Warriors decide to turn it on. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
