FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-January 13

High Value PG

Emmanuel Mudiay-Denver Nuggets (5,000): Mudiay returned on Sunday for the Nuggets after a 14-game absence due to a sprained ankle.  He didn’t appear to be limited in his first game back playing almost 40 minutes against the Hornets and finishing with a solid 11 points, six assists, four rebounds, and two steals.  Mudiay had 26.8 fantasy points in his 39 minutes and is a pick with plenty of upside tonight as the Nuggets host the Warriors.  Even if the game gets out of control, look for the Nuggets to get Mudiay plenty of time on the floor in what should be a high-scoring game.  He has a ton of upside at only 5K although there is a little risk since he’s so recently removed from injury, could see his playing time cut by Jameer Nelson, and is taking on the World Champions. ∗∗

Ramon Sessions-Washington Wizards (4,300): Sessions doesn’t start for Washington but is getting plenty of run off the bench for the Wizards while Brad Beal is sidelined.  Sessions has at least 18 fantasy points in nine of his last ten games and had 29 fantasy points on Monday in Washington’s win over the Bulls in Chicago.  In that contest, Sessions had 16 points, five boards, and four assists in 24 minutes, and the Wizards may try to get him more playing time tonight since John Wall is still battling a knee injury even though he is expected to play tonight. ∗∗∗

Donald Sloan-Brooklyn Nets (3,700): Sloan was a disappointment in his first start with the Nets managing just two points and five assists for 10.5 fantasy points against the Spurs.  He did flash some upside in the previous game when he double-doubled with 15 points and ten assists against the Pistons.  He’s a cheap gamble tonight that could pay off especially if he gets another start against the Knicks, but he’s far from a guarantee as he reminded us all on Monday with a dud. ∗∗
