FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-January 23
High Value PF
Julius Randle-Los Angeles Lakers (5,500): Randle has started three straight games for LA in place of the injured Larry Nance and has been a solid DFS option in each of those games. He had 12 points and 14 boards last night against the Spurs and finished with 30.3 fantasy points. He has at least 24 fantasy points in each of his last three games and at least 20 fantasy points in each of his last seven. Randle and the Lakers are in Portland for one of the late games tonight, and Randle averaged 14.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 1.5 steals against the Blazers in two meetings earlier this season. If Nance is out again, Randle makes a solid play. No Nance-∗∗∗ With Nance-∗∗
Jabari Parker-Milwaukee Bucks (5,100): Parker went off last night for 11 points, ten rebounds, four assists, two blocks, and two steals as he piled up 36 fantasy points in a season-high 40 minutes. He has played at least 30 minutes in nine of his last ten games and has at least 22 fantasy points in six of his last seven. Parker is undersized at PF and could have a hard time with Anthony Davis, but he should produce solid enough stats to be a good play at just over 5K again tonight. ∗∗
Myles Turner-Indiana Pacers (4,200): Turner has exploded for the Pacers on their road trip, and I expect them to keep getting the rookie plenty of touches tonight against the Kings. Turner had a career-high 31 points last night against the Warriors in 28 minutes adding eight rebounds and a pair of blocks for a total of 45.6 fantasy points. He had 41.4 fantasy points earlier on the Pacers’ trip with 25 points and seven rebounds in 29 minutes against the Nuggets. He’s a good play tonight even if Ian Mahinmi returns since he’s giving the Pacers offensive firepower from their center spot which they haven’t had a lot of this season. Turner will be widely owned, but he’s such an inexpensive play that you have to give him a look against the Kings tonight. ∗∗∗∗∗
