FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-April 25
High Value PF
Serge Ibaka-Oklahoma City Thunder (5,900): Ibaka has 16 points or more in three of the four games this series and has at least 24 fantasy points in each of those four contests. He didn’t have any blocks in Game 4 but did manage 16 points and five boards. Ibaka isn’t the Thunder’s primary option so he won’t get a ton of fantasy points, but he is a solid midrange play if you can’t afford a better option. ∗∗∗
Frank Kaminsky-Charlotte Hornets (3,700): Frank the Tank got the start for the Hornets in place of Nicolas Batum as Charlotte went big and slid Marvin Williams to SF. Kaminsky wasn’t the starter in name only, either, playing an active 35 minutes while scoring 15 points and adding six rebounds on his way to 27.7 fantasy points. If he start again tonight, he’ll be a great value and one of the better sub-4K plays at any position tonight. Make sure Batum isn’t making a surprise return, but if Kaminsky starts he’ll be a good play tonight. If starting-∗∗∗∗∗ Off the bench-∗∗
Amar’e Stoudemire-Miami Heat (3,500): Stoudemire played just nine minutes in Game 3 and failed to score although he did have 4.2 fantasy points on two blocks, a steal, and a rebound. He could be in for much more action tonight, though, if Hassan Whiteside is slowed by a thigh bruise that cost him practice time since the last game in this series. Stoudemire is a high-risk flier, but he could pay off if he gets more playing time than expected.∗
