DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – April 5, 2019
High Salary PF
Players costing over $6,250
Julius Randle (at PHO – $8,700): Needs 40.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 59.25 fantasy points against Charlotte. Randle can be a bit all over the place but the minutes are there on most nights and the ceiling is certainly high. And it’s the Suns. Who doesn’t play well against the Suns? He had 43.25 fantasy points against them on Mar. 16. Expect more in this game given the state of the Suns right now. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
John Collins (at ORL – $7,600): Needs 35.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 42 fantasy points against Philadelphia. Collins is back in the lineup and looked like himself against the Sixers. Granted, the Sixers are a mess right now. Collins hasn’t been great against the Magic this season. But I like his game right now and I just like the way the Hawks are playing down the stretch. With no pressure, they are a relaxed group. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling,
Bam Adebayo (at MIN – $6,500): Needs 30.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 40 fantasy points against Boston. Adebayo has been over 40 fantasy points in his last two games. With all the injuries to the Heat players, someone has to step up for them. And Adebayo has certainly been that guy in recent contests. The production should definitely be there against the Timberwolves of all teams. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
