FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-February 28
High Salary SF
Carmelo Anthony-New York Knicks (9,000): Anthony had another double-double on Friday against Orlando finishing with 40 fantasy points in for the fifth time in his last six games by posting 19 points, 11 boards, and six assists. He takes on the Heat tonight who he has averaged a solid 19 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.3 steals against in three games against this season. ‘Melo has been stepping things up on the glass over the last month with six double-doubles in his last eight games making him one of the best ways to spend your money tonight. ∗∗∗∗
Paul George-Indiana Pacers (9,000): George isn’t quite as consistent as Anthony, but he has been able to post at least 43 fantasy points in four of his last five games including going for 50.2 fantasy points against the Hornets on Friday on 32 points, six rebounds, four assists, and three steals. George has scored at least 20 points in nine straight, and he has the potential to go off and carry your team on any give night. Tonight, he’s in a less-than-ideal matchup against Portland but he looks like he has found his scoring rhythm that he misplaced for a while in the middle of the season.∗∗∗
Chandler Parsons-Dallas Mavericks (6,600): Parsons had a pair of ugly games earlier this week, but he bounced back against the Nuggets and had 27 points in 40 minutes in Dallas’s win on Friday. He finished that game with 39 fantasy points and has three games with at least that many fantasy points in his last six. He has been a roller-coaster lately and is much more high risk than George or Melo, but he does cost over 2K less and has the potential to contribute if he’s on tonight in a good matchup against Minnesota.∗∗
