8/29/2020 Basketball Fantasy Picks

 

•  High Cost Pick: $9,200 Nikola Vucevic
• Nikola is a inexpensive player to pick tonight being at only $9,200. He has score over 50 points in 3 of his last 4 games with 2 of those games being over 60 points. I don't see Giannis, Lebron, or AD finishing out the games they play. Bucks will blow out the Magic and without Dame Dollar, I don't see much of a chance for Portland. 
• Expect Nikola to get around 55 fantasy points tonight.

• Middle Tier: $7,400 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander PG/SG
• Shai is in his sophomore year and man has he grown. The last three games he has average roughly 47 fantasy points. He is not a big name yet but he is getting there. I would definitely have this man in your line up today. This is where Chris Paul is going to throw the ball when the Thunder needs a bucket!
• Expect Shai to put up 40 fantasy points today.

• Budget Pick: $4,000 Anfernee Simmons  PG/SG
• Simmons is 4k and without Damian Lillard you can expect him to get a lot more playing time. He actually use to start over Gary Trent Jr but went on a rough streak and Gary did well for a few games and got the nudge. I wouldn't doubt Simmons though, this boy can shoot.
• Expect Simmons to score about 25 fantasy points today.

Players to keep in mind:Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, Dennis Schroder

8/26/2020 - Fantasy Basketball Daily Picks

 

•  High Cost Pick: $11,800 James Harden PG/SG
• James is expensive tonight but if you're going to go with  a pick over 10k, then he is your guy. I don't see Giannis, Lebron, or AD finishing out the games they play. Bucks will blow out the Magic and without Dame Dollar, I don't see much of a chance for Portland. Honestly, you might be better off not taking any picks over 10k tonight but I definitely could see James Harden going off because him and Chris Paul did not end on good terms.
• Expect James to get around 60 fantasy points tonight.

• Middle Tier: $7,400 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander PG/SG
• Shai is in his sophomore year and man has he grown. The last three games he has average roughly 47 fantasy points. He is not a big name yet but he is getting there. I would definitely have this man in your line up today. This is where Chris Paul is going to throw the ball when the Thunder needs a bucket!
• Expect Shai to put up 40 fantasy points today.

• Budget Pick: $4,000 Anfernee Simmons  PG/SG
• Simmons is 4k and without Damian you can expect him to get a lot more playing time. He actually use to start over Gary Trent Jr but went on a rough streak and Gary did well for a few games and got the nudge. I wouldn't doubt Simmons though, this boy can shoot.

Daily Fantasy Basketball 8/22/2020

 

•  High Cost Pick: $10,200 Anthony Davis  PF/C
• Anthony Davis is going to put up 65 Fantasy points tonight. I will just say it. LeBron has a sore groin but he will still play. I see LeBron holding back a little and letting AD drive because this is only the first round. We should see AD go off tonight.
• Expect AD to get around 65 fantasy points tonight and a double double.

• Middle Tier: $6,100 Victor Oladipo SG/SF
• Victor played 37 minutes in the last game against the Heat. He was poked in the eye pretty bad and still scored 32.3 fantasy points. I expect him to get the same minutes with more fantasy points today. Pacers are not trying to get swept in this series. Pacers and Heat have had beef this year and not winning a game in the playoffs would be a huge ego hit.
• Expect Oladipo to put up over 37 fantasy points today.

• Budget Pick: $4,600 Hassan Whiteside C
• I will admit this is a little bit expensive for a budget pick but Hassan has been getting a uptick in minutes the last couple of games. If you are familiar with Hassan, you know when he puts his mind to it he can go off. I think today is that day.
• Expect Hassan to score over 30 fantasy points today.

Players to keep in mind: Eric Gordon, DJ Augustin , and Giannis Antetokoumpo
