FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-February 20
High Value PF
Jabari Parker-Milwaukee Bucks (4,900): I’d wait on Markieff Morris until he’s adjusted with his new team and the rest of the Wizards PF spot is a mess although they do pack around Parker in the salary structure. I’d look at Parker instead especially after last night’s strong game against the Hornets. Parker poured in 23 points to go with 11 rebounds giving him over 30 fantasy points for a second straight game. He is still a bit inconsistent as he returns to full strength after last year’s ACL injury, but he is growing more involved in Milwaukee’s regular offense and Greg Monroe’s role coming off the bench seems to allow Parker to get off to faster starts. He’s boom-or-bust, but he should be able to give you some solid numbers tonight against Atlanta. ∗∗
Mareese Speights-Golden State Warriors (3,800): In the lower realms of the value PF, I’d look at Speights tonight instead of Amare Stoudemire playing for the second night in a row. Speights is having to step up for Golden State with Festus Ezeli sidelined and has at least nine points in each of his last four games with at least 17 fantasy points in each of those contests and at least 14 fantasy points in each of his last nine. He’s not likely to go off unless he plays a ton of time, but in his role coming off the bench he can give you some solid points and rebounds at a very cheap rate. There were some quiet rumblings about Andrew Bogut’s ankle, and if Bogut is forced to sit out tonight Speights would get a huge bump in value. With Bogut-∗∗ No Bogut-∗∗∗∗
