FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-March 17
High Salary PF
Paul Millsap-Atlanta Hawks (8,000): Millay had a double-double last night against the Pistons totaling 35.5 fantasy points on 13 points, ten rebounds, four steals, a block, and an assist. Millsap has at least 35 fantasy points in five of his last six games but has only reached 45 twice in that span. Tonight, he could definitely approach 45 as he faces the Nuggets who have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing PF and have been giving up a lot of points in general on their trip to the Southeast. ∗∗∗
LaMarcus Aldridge-San Antonio Spurs (7,900): Aldridge will look to keep rolling tonight against his former team as he faces the Blazers. He played them twice early in the season with mediocre results, but he has been much better lately as he takes a larger role in the Spurs’ offense. Aldridge has at least 30 fantasy points in eight straight after finishing with 31.2 fantasy points on Tuesday against the Clippers. His price has risen to the point where he needs to be near 20-10 to return value, but if the Blazers can keep the game competitive I can definitely see him reaching those levels tonight. ∗∗∗
Thaddeus Young-Brooklyn Nets (7,500): Young has over 35 fantasy points in each of his last three games although two of those games did come against the soft 76ers frontcourt. He has been playing well overall since Joe Johnson left Brooklyn with created a chance for Young to carry more of the offense. Tonight, he’ll take on the Bulls who are short-handed up front, and I think he has a good chance to return value once again tonight in Brooklyn. ∗∗∗∗
Alex Len-Phoenix Suns (7,000): Len and the Suns will roll out their two-center lineup against the two bigs of the Jazz in Derrick Favors and Rudy Gobert. Len has the most upside of the four players since the Suns seem committed to running their offense through the former-Terp, but he has had a few down games recently as well. Len had 26 points and 13 rebounds for 42.1 fantasy points in a good game against the Warriors on Saturday, but aside from that he has been held under 30 fantasy points in three of his last four. Len has a ton of upside tonight, but his recent inconsistency make him high-risk at this price point. ∗∗
Jabari Parker-Milwaukee Bucks (6,600): Parker’s emergence has been overshadowed by the greatness of Giannis lately, but he has turned into a very solid DFS option at PF. Parker has at least 24 fantasy points in six of his last seven games with four games during that stretch of 30 fantasy points and a standout game of 43 fantasy points against the Thunder last Sunday. He’ll be in a good place to produce tonight against the banged-up Grizzlies who continue to go with an unusual cast of characters up front due to a host of injuries. ∗∗∗
JaMychal Green-Memphis Grizzlies (6,000): One of the Grizzlies best PF options in the wake of all their injuries has been JaMychal Green who has four double-doubles in his last six games although the other two games during that stretch have been pretty bad burns (10.6 fantasy points and 12.8 fantasy points). Green bounced back from those two games with 18 points and ten boards last night against Minnesota, and he should be set up for success again tonight against the Bucks who allow the sixth-most fantasy points int he NBA to opposing PF. Green is high-risk, but he could easily approach another double-double since he’ll keep getting all the minutes. ∗∗
