FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 31, 2019
High Salary PF
Players costing over $6,667
Montrezl Harrell (vs MEM – $7,600): Needs 32.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 33.2 fantasy points against Cleveland. With Gallinari out of the lineup, Harrell should continue to get good minutes. And when the minutes are there, he’s been delivering. If you want to spend more, you can always go with Aldridge, but the Kings might be a bit too good for Aldridge. The only concern with Harrell is minutes. But not Gallinari should help that. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
Marvin Bagley III (at SA – $7,400): Needs 31.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.4 fantasy points against Houston. MB3 looked more like himself against the Rockets but that was the last meaningful game of the season for the Kings. I don’t know what their mindset is going to be and it’s possible that they just don’t show up in this game. But MB3 had 56.4 fantasy points against the Spurs on Feb. 4 and if they are still playing with effort, he can deliver again. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
Bobby Portis (at DEN – $6,700): Needs 28.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 63.6 fantasy points against Utah. Portis can be a mixed bag but as we saw against Utah, the ceiling is high for him. He had 28.1 fantasy points against the Nuggets on Mar. 21. I don’t love this game for Portis and if you want a more reliable option, Draymond Green should be your choice. But if you want to go with a guy with a higher ceiling, Portis is your man. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
