FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-March 31
High Salary C
Pau Gasol-Chicago Bulls (8,500): The Rockets have wanted to trade for Gasol forever, and he usually shows off his game against them whenever he faces them. His minutes have crept back up to over 33 in his last two outings and he has over 34 in each of those games with double-doubles and good peripheral numbers. He’s still high-risk given his recent injury, but he’s the top-dollar center that I think makes the most sense since he’ll be playing as many minutes as he can handle in a game the Bulls really need tonight. ∗∗∗
Dwight Howard-Houston Rockets (6,800): The only other center over 6K worth considering for tonight is on the other side of that matchup as the Rockets face the Bulls who have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing centers this year. Howard fouled out of their previous meeting this year with just eight points and 12 boards, but I think he’ll do better than that tonight as he looks for his third straight double-double. ∗∗
