FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-January 24
High Value SF
Robert Covington-Philadelphia 76ers (4,900): Covington hasn’t posted the eye-popping numbers he was putting up earlier this season, but he has been getting more playing time lately and should see plenty of floor time tonight as the Sixers continues o deal with multiple injuries. Covington has at least 24 fantasy points in three of his last four games and at least 20 in each of his last five. He only had eight points in his most recent game on Wednesday but managed to grab 11 rebounds to still turn in a solid fantasy total. ∗∗∗
Evan Turner-Boston Celtics (4,800): Turner faces his former team as the Celtics visit Philadelphia, and he could get extra playing time if Jae Crowder is limited or sidelined due to illness. Turner has been dealing with a knee injury of his own, but he has been able to play through it and has at least 20 fantasy points in each of his last two games thanks to matching five-rebound, five-assist stat lines. Turner will be a very nice play if he gets the start, but either way there is a potential revenge factor in this one as well. With Crowder-∗∗ Without Crowder-∗∗∗∗
Corey Brewer-Houston Rockets (3,900): Brewer played 32 minutes on Friday against the Bucks which is a good sign for the versatile wing option even though he only managed four points, four assists, five rebounds, and two steals. He had at least 18 fantasy points for the fourth straight game and may be playing himself into a larger role especially as the Rockets assimilate Josh Smith back into their rotation.∗
