Daily fantasy basketball strategy

Kyle Lowry, PG, Raptors. Will put huge numbers if this game stays close. Could rival what Curry does without the enormous price tag.

DeMar DeRozan, SG, Raptors. Not a fan of the matchup, but is the best option at the position. Like Antetokounmpo more on FD.

Anthony Davis, PF, Pelicans. Davis went HAM last game in his return from a hip injury, and now gets to face a depleted Nuggets frontcourt. Has all the makings of another monstrous game for him.

LeBron James, SF, Cavaliers. Solid #1 SF on FD. That is the only place I'd pay up for him.

Brook Lopez, C, Nets. It is silly how low his price tag is on DK as Lopez as accumulated 37-plus fantasy points in three straight games. He had 27 points and 11 rebounds vs ATL earlier this season.
