FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-January 30
High Value SG
Joe Johnson-Brooklyn Nets (5,200): Johnson has been playing tons of minutes for the Nets and is a key part of their offense now that they’ve had to reorganize following the loss of Jarrett Jack. Johnson has played at least 30 minutes in seven of his last nine games and has at least 13 points in each of his last three contests. He adds solid non-scoring stats as well and has been able to produce at least 21 fantasy points in seven of his last nine games including two games over 30 fantasy points. He’s in a good matchup against the Pelicans (with a limited Tyreke Evans at best).∗∗
Danny Green-San Antonio Spurs (4,200): Green has found his shot this month and has been able to get at least 30 fantasy points in two of his last three games. He had one of his best games of the season on Tuesday against the Rockets when he scored 18 points with six rebounds, three assists and three steals for a very nice 37.7 fantasy points. He seems to have overcome his early-season shooting woes, and he is probably ready to roll tonight against the Cavs. ∗∗∗
Wayne Ellington-Brooklyn Nets (3,700): Ellington has been able to get to 20 fantasy points in two of his last three fantasy points and continues to get pretty big minutes in the Nets’ backcourt. He had 12 points and six boards against the Mavericks last night, and he’s one of the few value plays you can count on getting minutes on a nightly basis. ∗∗∗
Bryce Jones-New Orleans Pelicans (3,500): Jones started in place of the injured Tyreke Evans on Thursday and had a nice stat line of 14 points, two rebounds, two steals, two assists, edna block while playing a surprisingly-robust 35 minutes on his way to 24.4 fantasy points. If you go ultra-cheap at SG, Jones makes a nice play if Evans is out again tonight against the Nets especially since Brooklyn allows the most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing SG. No Evans-∗∗∗∗ With Evans-∗
