FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-March 18

High Value SF

P.J. Tucker-Phoenix Suns (4,500): Tucker is a boom-or-bust play against the Lakers tonight, but he is worth a look since LA has allowed the second-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing SF. Tucker had a “boom” game against the T-Wolves on Monday with 23 points, 12 rebounds, and five assist for 46.9 fantasy points, but he has been held under 20 fantasy points in the rest of his last six games.  He definitely has upside due to his matchup tonight and the face that he usually gets a ton of minutes.  He isn’t someone you can count on, but if you have to go cheap here and roll the dice you could hope to catch him on the right night. ∗

Michael Beasley-Houston Rockets (4,100): Beasley has jumped right tin to the Rockets’ rotation and looked pretty good since joining the team after playing in China for the first part of the year. He has scored in double-digits in each of the Rockets’ last four games  and has over 27 fantasy points in three of those four contests.  Tonight, he’ll be is a matchup with the Wolves in what could quickly turn into a track meet, so look for him to continue his good per-minute numbers at a reduced rate tonight. ∗∗∗∗

Hollis Thompson-Philadelphia 76ers (4,000): Another cheap SF option to take a look at is Hollis Thompson of the Sixers who has played at least 30 minutes in each of his last seven games and produced at least 18 fantasy points in six of those contests. He usually scores 10-15 points and adds in some solid rebounds and assists, so he’s a lower risk play than Beasley even though his ceiling isn’t quite as high. ∗∗∗
