FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-March 12
High Value SG
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope-Detroit Pistons (5,100): Caldwell-Pope has found a bit of a groove lately and has at lsat 20 fantasy points in four straight games and six of his last seven. He scored 24 points last night to get over 25 fantasy points for the third straight game and is logging a ton of minutes in coach Stan Van Gundy’s backcourt. KCP has a good matchup against the 76ers tonight and should be a good solid play at his 5K price.∗∗∗
Lance Stephenson-Memphis Grizzlies (4,200): Stephenson exploded last night against the Pelicans for 33 points, seven rebounds four assists, and two steals on his way to a massive 52.4 fantasy points. He was coming off just 6.9 fantasy points on Wednesday against Boston, but he showed he can still step up for a very short-handed Memphis team. He’s high-risk tonight in Atlanta as he tries to do it again on back-to-back nights, but his upside is incredibly high for someone who you can get at just 4,200. Stephenson should be on the floor a ton again tonight with Mario Chalmers done, Mike Conley out indefinitely, and a host of other fallen Grizzlies opening the door for Lance to have a bit of a resurgence after being run out of LA. He has shown positive signs ever since joining Memphis at the deadline and has over 20 fantasy points in seven of his last nine games. ∗∗∗
Courtney Lee-Charlotte Hornets (3,700): One of the players who Memphis shipped off at the deadline in a separate deal from Stephenson’s was Courtney Lee who has fit in well with Charlotte. Lee has posted back-to-back games with exactly 26.7 fantasy points in his last two contests and is in a good matchup against the “defense” of the Rockets tonight in Charlotte. Lee probably won’t go off like Stephenson could, but he produces solid numbers across the stat sheet and logs plenty of minutes for the Hornets. ∗∗
