DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – April 29, 2019
High Salary PF
Players costing over $6,250
Pascal Siakam (vs PHI – $7,300): Needs 34.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 39.25 fantasy points against Philadelphia. As always, Siakam has been a reliable option all season and he was a reliable option in Game 1. No matter how he gets. It done, he finds a way to get it done. You can always take him with confidence. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
Tobias Harris (at TOR – $7,200): Needs 33 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43.75 fantasy points against Toronto. Harris has really found his rhythm and is contributing in multiple ways, which is the good news. The Sixers are going to need more from others, which could cause Harris to take a step back. That’s the one thing I’m concerned about in this game. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
High Value PF
Players costing $6,250 or under
Paul Millsap (vs POR – $4,800): Needs 22.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 17.25 fantasy points against San Antonio. Millsap hasn’t gotten it together in the playoffs, at least for DFS players, outside of one game. He still gets plenty of minutes and we know he can pick up his game, it just isn’t happening right now. He averaged 34.8 fantasy points in three games against the Blazers this season. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.
Moe Harkless (at DEN – $4,500): Needs 20.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28.75 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. Harkless was very good against the Thunder but he wasn’t good against the Nuggets in the regular season. He averaged just 11.9 fantasy points in three games against them. The playoffs are a different beast and know Harkless can do more. There might be some sneaky value here. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
