FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-January 27
High Value C
Nikola Jokic-Denver Nuggets (5,300): Jokic has matching 37.5 fantasy points in his last two games alhgouth he played 32 minutes to get his 37.5 against Detroit on Saturday and only 18 minutes Monday to put up the same production against the Hawks. Jokic has shown he can produce fantasy numbers in a hurry and is in a good matchup against the Celtics tonight although his unstable playing time is cause for concern. ∗∗
Alex Len-Phoenix Suns (4,700): Len continued to be one of the few bright spots for the Suns as he started again last night alongside Tyson Chandler. He finished with 16 points and 12 rebounds for the second game in a row and now has at least 30 fantasy points in each of his last three games. Since Len is a big part of the Phoenix future (such as it is), he should keep getting plenty of playing time and be a good option tonight against the Cavaliers. ∗∗∗∗∗
Spencer Hawes-Charlotte Hornets (4,000): Hawes is in a bad, bad matchup against Rudy Gobert, but he is getting so much playing time for Charlotte right now due to injury that he probably will end up with a solid value line at only 4K. He has at least 24 fantasy points in each of the three games he has started in place of Cody Zeller, and he’ll tangle with Gobert, Favors, and the Jazz tonight in Salt Lake City. He’s the best cheap option, but it’s definitely not a matchup to love. ∗∗
