FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-January 27
High Value PF
Ersan Ilyasova-Detroit Pistons (5,700): Ilyasova has posted at least 25 fantasy points in six of his last seven games with three games over 32 fantasy points during that timespan. He is in a great matchup tonight against the Sixers who allow the second-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing PF. Ilyasova had 15 points, eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks, and two steals against Phily earlier this season, and he should be a pretty safe midrange option for tonight. ∗∗∗
Jared Sullinger-Boston Celtics (5,600): Sullinger came back to earth playing just 16 minutes against the small-balling Wizards on Monday and finishing with just 15.7 fantasy points after posted 46.9 fantasy points against Chicago on Friday and 33.7 fantasy points against the Sixers on Sunday. His minutes fluctuate in coach Brad Stevens mix-and-match front court, but he definitely has the potential to go off against the Nuggets front line which has been a good matchup to target for most of the season. ∗
Markieff Morris-Phoenix Suns (4,600): Morris played 24 minutes in his return yesterday finishing with eight points and seven boards against the Sixers. With Jon Leuer still struggling with injury, Morris should be on the floor quite a bit for the Suns tonight and he is one of the better scoring options available to Phoenix right now which does give him some nice upside although he’s coming off the bench behind Alex Len and Tyson Chandler who have been starting in a double-center type setup for the Suns. ∗∗
David West-San Antonio Spurs (4,500): West will likely start against the Rockets tonight with Tim Duncan out. In his last seven games, West has at least 18 fantasy points six times and in an expanded role tonight he’s a high-risk, high-reward option. ∗∗
