DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 28, 2019
High Salary PF
Players costing over $6,250
LaMarcus Aldridge (vs CLE – $8,100): Needs 38.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 48.25 fantasy points against Charlotte. Aldridge has continued to play well for the Spurs and now he gets the Cavaliers. It’s possible the Spurs don’t need him to be great in this game because why would they need him to be great against the Cavaliers? But when Aldridge is hot, he usually remains pretty hot and this won’t be the matchup to slow him down. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
Marvin Bagley III (at NO – $7,000): Needs 32.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 18 fantasy points against Dallas. More dude MB3 finally let me down. He had a great matchup and was playing well and just didn’t have it against the Mavericks. I’m willing to give him this game to bounce back. He had 41 fantasy points against the Pelicans way back in October and that’s before he turned into a great player. Trust him to bounce back in this one. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
Montrezl Harrell (at MIL – $6,700): Needs 31.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.75 fantasy points against Minnesota. Harrell has been over 30 fantasy points in eight straight games. If nothing else, he’ll be at value for you on Thursday. He had 39.25 fantasy points against the Bucks on Nov. 10. It’s been a long time since November and these teams have both changed a lot. But Harrell is a proven DFS performer given his minutes and typical production. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
