FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-March 11
High Value SF
Evan Fournier-Orlando Magic (5,500): Fournier moves over to SF on FanDuel tonight as the Magic face the Kings. He comes in looking to score 20 points for his third straight game after finishing with 29.7 and 31.3 fantasy points in his last two contests. The Kings have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing SF this season and the fifth-most over their last five games. Fournier should be near 30 fantasy points again tonight which would be enough to make him a very good value at under 6K. ∗∗∗∗
Matt Barnes-Memphis Grizzlies (4,800): Barnes has an inconsistent offensive game, to be sure, but if he doesn’t score for Memphis–who will? He had 23.4 fantasy points in 34 minutes against the Celtics after missing Monday’s game in Cleveland. Barnes will get plenty of time tonight against the Pelicans who have been giving up points in bunches lately. Barnes will definitely have the opportunity to produce, but it remains to be seen whether he’ll rise to the occasion or not. ∗∗∗
Nikola Mirotic-Chicago Bulls (4,800): Mirotic battled the Spurs for 28 minutes last night and managed 26 fantasy points on eight points and ten rebounds in that difficult matchup. He had an even better 28.7 fantasy points on Monday against Milwaukee, and should be able to get at least that many against a Heat team that doesn’t have Chris Bosh right now. Mirotic is still just coming back from his appendectomy, but he quickly looks to be ramping back up to 100%.∗∗
Bojan Bogdanovic-Brooklyn Nets (4,000): Bogdan has been a solid cheap DFS play since the Nets parted ways with Joe Johnson and moved the second-year pro into the starting lineup. Bogdanovic has at least 19 fantasy points in five of his last seven games including 23 fantasy points in 32 minutes against the Raptors on Tuesday. Tonight, he’s in a great matchup with the 76ers, so look for him to again be a solid value play at just 4K tonight. ∗∗∗
Hollis Thompson-Philadelphia 76ers (3,800): On the other side of that same matchup, Thompson is a good value play since he’s getting so much time in the current Sixers rotation. He has played at least 30 minutes in each of his last three games and has scored ten points or more in each of his last six full contests (non-injury shortened). He has 21 fantasy points or more in four of those six games including posting 30.2 fantasy points against the Heat. Since the Nets allow the fourth-most of in the NBA to opposing SG, Thompson should be a good cheap play tonight, since normally he ends up at SG in the Sixers current rotation. ∗∗∗∗
