FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-January 2

High Salary C

Andre Drummond-Detroit Pistons (9,400): Drummond has averaged 16.5 points and 20.0 rebounds in the Pistons first two games with the Pacers, and Indiana is going through an injury crisis right now with their big men due to Ian Mahinmi’s knee injury and Jordan Hill’s dental work. If the Pacers are forced to give Myles Turner and Lavoy Allen all the minutes up front, Drummond should have a field day down low. He had 23 points and 18 boards on Thursday, but he only played 31 minutes sho he should be fresh and ready for a monster night tonight.  He has at least 42 fantasy points in four of his last six games, and is in a great place to dominate tonight. ∗∗∗∗∗

Marc Gasol-Memphis Grizzlies (8,100): Another big-producing fantasy center in a matchup against injury-depleted opponents is Marc Gasol who will be taking on the Jazz in Utah tonight.  Gasol is coming off a big game on Tuesday when he played 44 minutes and finished with 23 points, eight rebounds, six assists, and four blocks for a total of 47.6 fantasy points. He has at least 40 fantasy points in three of his last six contests, and in a good matchup tonight should be set up for more fantasy success. ∗∗∗

Karl-Anthony Towns-Minnesota Timberwolves (7,900): Towns has been productive when he gets expanded playing time and he has played at least 31 minutes in six straight games.  In those six contests, he has four games with at least 37 fantasy points including his game Thursday in Detroit against Drummond when he scored 22 points to go with nine rebounds, three assists, and a block.  Towns is a little risky since he can put up a dud from time-to-time as a rookie, but he has tons of upside too making him worth a look tonight against the Bucks. ∗∗
