FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-January 9
High Salary SF
Gordon Hayward-Utah Jazz (7,300): Hayward’s numbers on Utah’s Texas two-step this week weren’t great, but he returns home tonight where he has been pretty good lately. In his last six home games, Hayward has scored at least 20 points five times and has at lest 35 fantasy points in those five games. His road struggled could carry over tonight against Miami, but I think he’ll bounce back with another solid effort making him the SF that I would target if cost was not a factor. ∗∗∗
Rudy Gay-Sacramento Kings (7,200): Gay has scored at least 16 points in each of the Kings’ last four games, and he has posted over 33 fantasy points in each of his last two games. He had 31.1 fantasy points when the Kings last played the Warriors and has averaged 19.7 points and 7.3 rebounds the three games between the teams so far this season. The possibility of a blowout is always a risk factor when playing the Warriors, but I think Gay has the potential to be a solid option at home tonight.∗∗
Otto Porter-Washington Wizards (6,000): Porter was back over 30 fantasy points last night giving him four games with at least that much production in his last six contests. He had 16 points against the Raptors and added five rebounds, three assists, and two steals. Porter has been one of the few offensive bright spots for the Wizards and with so many injuries in Washington right now he should keep getting plenty of offensive usage. ∗∗
