FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-January 26

High Value SF

Robert Covington-Philadelphia 76ers (5,100): Covington had his shot going on Sunday night against Boston scoring 25 points in 34 minutes while adding eight rebounds fora total of 34.1 fantasy points. He has regained a big role in the Sixers rotation with at least 30 minutes in five of his last six games.  He’s playing well with at least 30 fantasy points in two of those five and at least 25 fantasy points in four of those outings. Phoenix is a great matchup for the Sixers, and Covington should be a key part of their gameplan especially give the Suns’ lack of wing depth. ∗∗∗∗∗

P.J. Tucker-Phoenix Suns (4,500): The opposite side of that same matchup is also a good one for P.J. Tucker who is one of the few healthy bodies available and has been playing big minutes as a result.  Tucker played 39 minutes against the Hawks scoring 16 points to go with six rebounds on his way to 28.2 fantasy points. He has at least 20 fantasy points in eight of his last ten, and his minutes have jumped even higher recently. If he is again one of the few active forwards for the Suns-∗∗∗

Justise Winslow-Miami Heat (3,800): Winslow has at least 20 fantasy points in each of his last three games as a result of playing a ton of fill-in minutes.  Winslow played 35 minutes last night against Chicago and finished with eight points, nine rebounds, four assists, and two steals for a solid 27.8 fantasy points. He’s the best sub-4K option in the SF pool for sure, and he’s one of the better cheap plays available tonight at any position. He’s worth a look even with Luol Deng back since there are so many other empty slots to fill for Miami right now. ∗∗
