DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – May 3, 2019
High Salary PF
Players costing over $6,250
Al Horford (vs MIL – $7,000): Needs 33 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28.5 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Horford was fine in Game 2 but we’ve come to expect more from him against the Bucks. Expect him to return to form in this game because the series is in Boston and the Celtics will be better in Game 3. Horford will bounce back. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
Paul Millsap (at POR – $5,600): Needs 26.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 36.75 fantasy points against Portland. Millsap has been very good in this series and maybe he can keep it up. Of course, we’ve seen this from him before because he’s always had a high ceiling due to his minutes but he hasn’t always delivered. The Nuggets will definitely need him to be better on the road. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
High Value PF
Players costing $6,250 or under
Marcus Morris (vs MIL – $4,600): Needs 21 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.75 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Morris has been good in this series, which is good news for his overall value because I typically like him more at home. The fact that he’s delivering on the road should be a good sign. Or it could be a red flag and maybe he won’t deliver at home. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
Al-Farouq Aminu (vs DEN – $4,400): Needs 20.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 27 fantasy points against Denver. If Harkless doesn’t end up playing, it means Aminu will have to step up that much more. I already liked Aminu in this series because of his track record against the Blazers. But now he should get even more of an opportunity. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
