FanDuel Daily Picks: Fantasy Basketball Lineup, April 1
FanDuel Daily Picks-Brow & Brooklyn
PG: John Wall-Washington Wizards. Wall has been lights out with at least 49 FanDuel points in each of his last three games. Tonight he’s in a great matchup against the Sixers who have been shredded by opposing PG all season and just got beat up on Monday by Jordan Clarkson.
PG: Zach LaVine-Minnesota Timberwolves. As long as Ricky Rubio is out again tonight, LaVine is in store for heavy minutes against Toronto who will be without Kyle Lowry. LaVine has played well in his time running the point for the T-Wolves scoring at least 15 points in four of his last five games and production 25 FanDuel points or more in four of his last seven including 38 FanDuel points on Monday against Utah when he finished with 21 points, six assists, and five rebounds.
SG: Markel Brown-Brooklyn Nets. Brown has returned to the Nets lineup, played big minutes, and been productive over his last few games. Last night he played 31 minutes finishing with 10 points, five boards, an assist, and a steal on his way to 19.5 FanDuel points. He had an even better game on Sunday finishing with 17 points, four rebounds, and four assists against the Lakers. Tonight against the Knicks injury-depleted lineup, Brown is an ultra-cheap (3,500) solution with plenty of upside.
SG: Louis Williams-Toronto Raptors. With Kyle Lowry still dealing with a back issue, Louis Williams is getting extra time at the point and has produced solid numbers in his last few games. Williams has at least 22 FanDuel points in three straight which is solid production from his sub-5K salary.
SF: Chandler Parsons-Dallas Mavericks. The Thunder have been getting trashed by opposing SF lately with Kevin Durant out and Parsons was the one to lay the beatdown when these teams bet two weeks ago. In that game, Parsons scored 31 points and adding four boards and two steals. He’s also coming off a good game on Sunday when he posted a double-double with 27 points and 10 boards against the Pacers. He has at least 30 FanDuel points in five of his last eight.
SF: Chase Budinger-Minnesota Timberwolves: Budinger continues to play big minutes for Minnesota due to their rash of injuries, and he has made the most of his opportunity with multi-category games. He has at least 25 FanDuel points in seven of his last nine games including a 34.1 FanDuel point game two weeks ago when the Wolves played Toronto who they face again tonight.
PF: Anthony Davis-New Orleans Pelicans. While Russell Westbrook is a good big-money play too, Davis is an extremely reliable option getting monster minutes for the Pelicans in their playoff chase. As he takes on the Lakers tonight, he’ll be looking for his fifth straight game with at last 49 FanDuel points since he missed a pair of games two weeks ago. Davis as the potential to go off, and he also has a very low risk factor since he is so consistently exceptional.
PF: Trevor Booker-Utah Jazz. Booker went off on Monday against Minnesota scoring 17 points to go with 13 rebounds on his way to 35.1 FanDuel points. Tonight, he’s in a great matchup against the Nuggets making him an awesome value play at 4,000 as long as Derrick Favors is still sidelined. Even if Favors does return, Booker is still a solid play although his reduced minutes would limit his upside.
C: Brook Lopez-Brooklyn Nets. Taking on the Knicks tonight, Lopez is in a great matchup coming off an awesome month of March. He averaged over 20 points and almost nine rebounds a game while posting seven double-doubles including three in his last four games. He has at least 40 FanDuel points in four of his last five games and has been playing crazy minutes on both sides of back-t0-backs. In a league where rest is becoming the rule, Coach Lionel Hollins has said he doesn’t believe in it, so look for Lopez to get the run he needs to demolish the Knicks tonight.
