DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – April 5, 2019
High Value SF
Players costing $6,250 or under
Thaddeus Young (vs BOS – $6,000): Needs 27.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 42 fantasy points against Detroit. Young beat up on the Pistons because he always beats up on the Pistons. The Celtics will be a slightly tougher matchup but he did have 34.75 fantasy points against them on Mar. 29. He’s been a good option all season and the minutes and opportunities will continue to be there for him. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
Josh Jackson (vs NO – $5,900): Needs 26.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 22.5 fantasy points against Utah. Jackson can be a mixed bag but he did have 52 fantasy points a few days ago against the Cavaliers. Granted, that was the Cavaliers. But the Pelicans aren’t exactly a good team. And with Booker out of the lineup, Jackson has shown that he can deliver with Booker out. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
Moe Harkless (at DEN – $4,900): Needs 22.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28.75 fantasy points against Memphis. Harkless continues to play well for Blazers with all over their injuries. And even though the Nuggets can be a tough matchup, the Nuggets aren’t exactly playing great right now. And I just trust Harkless’ game right now with the circumstances and injuries. He remains at a great salary given all the factors. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
