FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-March 29
High Value PF
Marvin Williams-Charlotte Hornets (5,700): Williams missed last Tuesday’s game with an ankle issue and didn’t look great in his return on Friday. However, he bounced back Saturdsy with a big game against the Bucks scoring 21 points to go with eight rebounds and three blocks. Tonight, he’ll be in a good matchup agains the Sixers who allow the second-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing PF and are short-handed up front. Williams has averaged 12.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, and 1.0 steals against Philadelphia in his two games against them this season, and he’s a good sub-6K play tonight with his ankle the only real cause for concern. ∗∗
Carl Landry-Philadelphia 76ers (4,700): Landry has been productive when he has gotten the playing time for Philadelphia over the past few weeks. With both Nerlens Noel and Jerami Grant questionable tonight, he could be in line for plenty of minutes against the Hornets if things break his way. Landry has at least 15 fantasy points in five straight with three of those games resulting in over 25 fantasy points of production. He had 22 points, eight boards, and three assists on Sunday in Golden State and excels when teams go small at the PF spot like Charlotte usually does. He’s a great play if Grant and Noel are both out, and he is definitely worth a look if it looks like either will be sidelined tonight.

Marreese Speights-Golden State Warriors (4,000): Speights is a hit-or-miss play depending on how much time he gets on the floor in the Warriors’ rotation tonight. He played 20 minutes on Sunday and finished with a very nice 27.9 fantasy points on 17 points, seven rebounds, and three assists. He’s a gamble, but one with plenty of upside at this price given that he has at least 19 fantasy points in five of his last nine contests. ∗∗
