FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-January 23
High Value C
Mason Plumlee-Portland Trail Blazers (5,300): Plumlee has at least 20 fantasy points in each of his last three games and had a near triple-double against the Wizards with ten points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists for a very nice 35.7 fantasy points. His production fluctuates from game to game, but he is in a good matchup against the Lakers tonight who have allowed more fantasy points to opposing centers than any other team in the NBA. Plumlee has been solid (11.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 steal) against LA so far this season, and he’s a moderate option tonight. ∗∗
Alex Len-Phoenix Suns (4,400): Len should get more work in the coming games as the Suns try to develop their younger players with this season already well in the tank. Len had 13 points, eight rebounds, and four assists for 32.6 fantasy points in his last game against the Spurs on Thursday, and he’ll be a good cheap option again tonight. In both of his two games back from a hand injury, Len has over 20 fantasy points and will keep getting playing time while Phoenix has so few healthy bodies. ∗∗∗∗
Willie Cauley-Stein-Sacramento Kings (4,100): Cauley-Stein has been excellent in his last two games posting a pair of double-doubles against the Lakers and Hawks. He has at least 22 fantasy points in three of his last four games and appears to be back to 100% after missing time with a finger injury. ∗∗∗
