FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-January 11
High Value PF
David West-San Antonio Spurs (4,300): There are very few options in the bargain bin of the PF category especially with Joakim Noah’s possible return clouding the Chicago front court situation. One cheap play who has delivered when he’s gotten playing time recently is David West of the Spurs. He has at least 19 fantasy points in each of his last three games including an impressive 14-point, 13-reobund double-double in his spot start last week. If Coach Popovich decides to rest any of his big men for the whole game, West will get the start but even coming off the bench he has enough potential to be one of the best cheap dice-rolls tonight. ∗∗
Boris Diaw-San Antonio Spurs (4,100): Another option off the Spurs’ bench that could pick up playing time if the game turns into a blowout or some starters get extra rest is Boris Diaw. Diaw has at least eight points in four of his last five games and has at least 14 fantasy points in each of those four contests. He has reached the 20-fantasy-point plateau twice in his last four games, and he could get the time to produce again tonight. He’s high-risk, but so is every PF on the board under 6K tonight, and I think he represents some solid upside although slightly less than West. ∗
