DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – April 20, 2019
High Salary C
Players costing over $6,250
LaMarcus Aldridge (vs DEN – $7,800): Needs 37.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41.75 fantasy points against Denver. Aldridge has been fine in this series and one more time, I will trust the Spurs at home. The shots and opportunities are going to be there for him in a big way and he always seems to play well at home. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
Clint Capela (at UTA – $7,300): Needs 35.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28.5 fantasy points against Utah. Capela may have been down in Game 2 but I’m not worried about him. I still like him over Drummond or Gobert simply due to the money and the fact that I know he can step up in a big way as long as the Rockets don’t completely run the Jazz off the floor. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
High Value C
Players costing $6,250 or under
Derrick Favors (vs HOU – $5,600): Needs 26.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 38 fantasy points against Houston. Even in limited minutes, Favors has had a good series for the Jazz. I didn’t think he would be able to stay on the floor because he couldn’t last year, but he’s proven me wrong in a big way. He should be better at home. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
Boban Marjanovic (at BKN – $4,900): Needs 24 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 27.5 fantasy points against Brooklyn. You can always go with Greg Monroe in this spot if you want to save more money. I like either of the Sixers centers because I don’t like the Nets frontcourt. Monroe is drawing the start but Boban is still playing strong minutes. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
