FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-February 10
High Salary SG
C.J. McCollum-Portland Trail Blazers (7,600): McCollum is in a great matchup tonight as he takes on the Rockets who allow the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing SG and will be playing for the second night in a row on the West Coast. McCollum will try to take advantage of their tired legs as he tries to produce at least 32 fantasy points for the third straight game. When the Blazers visited Houston on Saturday, McCollum had 16 points, seven boards and four steals for a solid 32.4 fantasy points. He usually plays better at home, so look for even more production tonight. ∗∗∗∗
Nicolas Batum-Charlotte Hornets (7,000): Batum returns to SG after playing over in SF for a while on FanDuel. He’s starting in the backcourt next to Kemba Walker, so the move makes sense with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist starting at SF on the opposite wing. Batum has thrived in the lineup with MKG and Kemba posting 40.7 fantasy points, 50.7 fantasy points, and 46.6 fantasy points in the three games the three have started together this season. Batum usually plays heavy minutes and has totaled a massive 88 minutes in his last two games, but its impossible to argue with his top-flite production falling just a few assists short of back-to-back triple-doubles. Batum should be ready for another good game as he tries to stay hot as the Hornets go on the road to take on the Pacers. ∗∗∗∗∗
Victor Oladipo-Orlando Magic (6,500): Oladipo and the Magic stormed back against Atlanta on Monday to hand the Hawks back-to-back losses. Oladipo had 27.8 fantasy points and 30.5 fantasy points in those two contests and has at least 30 fantasy points in three of his last five. He faced tonight’s opponent in the first of those five games putting up a solid 39.1 fantasy points against the Spurs on 19 points, seven assists, and five steals in San Antonio. Oladipo isn’t quite as locked-in an option as the other two options above him on my list, but he has the potential to produce a big stat line from under 7K. ∗∗
