FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-March 17
High Value SF
Matt Barnes-Memphis Grizzlies (5,600): Barnes posted a strong double-double last night for 35.5 fantasy points on 14 points and ten boards against the Timberwolves. While he will continue to get all the minutes he can handle and be a big part of the Grizz attack, it is worth noticing that his better offensive games have come at home while he has struggled a big on the road and in the second night of back-to-backs. While he’s still worth a look, he’s higher risk even than he normally is as he finishes tonight’s back-to-back set in Milwaukee. ∗
Bojan Bogdanovic-Brooklyn Nets (4,700): Bogdan was in my picks on Tuesday, but I didn’t find room for him in my lineup as I missed a huge opportunity since he lit up the Sixers for 44 points and 53.6 fantasy points. He has gotten consistent playing time since the Nets parted ways with Joe Johnson, but he hadn’t had a scoring outburst like that. He has produced at least 19 fantasy points in seven of his last nine games, though, so he isn’t just a flash in the pan. He should be a solid play tonight against the Bulls, although his Tuesday scoring is definitely an outlier. ∗∗
Kent Bazemore-Atlanta Hawks (4,600): Bazemore has been up-and-down lately, but he had a very nice game last night in Detroit posting a double-double of 15 points and ten rebounds on his way to 28 fantasy points. He has at least 28 fantasy points in three of his last six games, but his other three have all resulted in fewer than 20 fantasy points. He’s a risky option tonight as a result of his inconsistency, but I love his matchup against the Nuggets, and I think he’ll have a strong game tonight. Remember, since its a back-to-back his price doesn’t reflect his performance from last night so you’re getting a bit of a discount today with Bazemore. ∗∗∗
Justise Winslow-Miami Heat (4,300): Winslow has been one o my favorite cheap sleepers all season, and he’s still getting playing time for Miami even after the Joe Johnson addition since Miami is going small in the absence of Chris Bosh. Winslow has three straight games with at least 27 fantasy points after scoring a career-high 20 points against Denver on Monday. He’ll be on the floor a lot again tonight against the Hornets, and I think he will produce a solid line across the board making him one of my favorite cheaper SF options. ∗∗∗∗
Joe Ingles-Utah Jazz (3,500): Ingles is worth a look if the Aussie draws another start against the Suns tonight. He started on Monday in place of Gordon Hayward and played 37 minutes finishing with 17 fantasy points on six points, five rebounds, and four assists. The Suns would be a great matchup to get a cheap play like Ingles against since they have allowed the third-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing SF. He’s a cheap flier to consider if Hayward is out. No Hayward-∗∗ With Hayward-stay away
