DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – April 1, 2019
High Salary SF
Players costing over $6,250
Kawhi Leonard (vs ORL – $9,800): Needs 44.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 38.5 fantasy points against Chicago. The minutes might not be there for Kawhi and this is a high salary for a guy who needs more minutes to produce the game he needs. It’s a good matchup but the Raptors just don’t have much to play for in this game. He can always have a big night if the minutes end up being there. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a high ceiling.
Tobias Harris (at DAL – $7,400): Needs 33.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41.25 fantasy points against Minnesota. With Embiid out of the lineup, you can continue to take Harris with confidence. He’ll get more rebounds and pick up his scoring as well. The matchup is good one as the Mavericks aren’t good and they are on a back-to-back. Harris should be in for another strong night. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
Andrew Wiggins (vs POR – $6,800): Needs 31.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43 fantasy points against Philadelphia. I’ll never trust Andrew Wiggins but he’s been over 40 fantasy points in his last two games and I like the matchup against Portland since they aren’t the same defense without Nurkic. If you don’t trust Wiggins, I don’t blame you. We’ve seen this act from him before. But there are positive signs going into this matchup and the ceiling is high. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
