Our top-ranked experts will also provide the reasons for their picks, so you can make informed decisions when setting your lineups.
Thursday, April 5th
Today, we have a six game slate with no teams on the second half of a back-to-back. Let’s have a look at some of my favorite plays.
Point Guard
PG: Jamal Murray, Denver Nuggets, $25
Jamal Murray has been playing good basketball and getting large minutes with Gary Harris out of lineup and the Nuggets fighting for their playoff lives. He’s also been extremely consistent, as he’s averaging 36.2 fantasy points per game over his last 13 games. The Wolves struggle to defend the point, as they rank 19th in DVP vs. the point guard position and they struggle to defend spot up shooters. It makes sense that Murray has great history vs. them this year, as he’s averaged over 41 fantasy-points per game vs the Wolves this season. Murray also has extremely positive home splits and just looks like a lock to me for tonight.
