DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – April 5, 2019
High Value SG
Players costing $6,250 or under
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (vs LAL – $6,100): Needs 28.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34 fantasy points against Houston. SAG has been over 34 fantasy points in three of his last four games. With Patrick Beverley injured, SAG will continue to get more opportunities. But really this is largely about the matchup. It’s the Lakers on a back-to-back. And the Clippers are looking as sharp as they can heading into the playoffs. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
Terrence Ross (vs ATL – $5,600): Needs 25.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 39.5 fantasy points against New York. Ross bounced back to form after being down for a couple of weeks and hopefully that’s a good sign heading into this game. And it’s the Hawks. He’s averaging 27.9 fantasy points in three games against the Hawks this season. You can always go with Fournier in this spot if you want to spend more. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
Mikal Bridges (vs NO – $5,100): Needs 23.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 17.75 fantasy points against Utah. Bridges hasn’t shown much in recent contests but with Devin Booker being down for the year, someone of the Suns will have to step up. And Bridges has shown that he can step up this season. The minutes are certainly there for him, the matchup is great, and the circumstances are even better. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
