FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-April 27

High Value PG

Shaun Livingston-Golden State Warriors (4,400): Livingston is not Steph Curry, but he can be a productive part of the Warriors’ plan sans-Steph. Livingston played 29 and 39 minutes in Game 2 and Game 3 when Curry was out and scored 16 points in each game with solid non-scoring stats resulting in over 27 fantasy points in each of his last three contests.  Livingston will get the start and plenty of playing time, so he’s a play with great upside at this price tonight. ∗∗∗∗∗

Austin Rivers-Los Angeles Clippers (4,000): Like Livingston, Rivers won’t be able to duplicate the production of the player he is replacing as he steps in for Chris Paul, but he will need to be productive.  Rivers didn’t play great in his 23 minutes in Game 4 finishing with just four points and three assists for 11.9 fantasy points, but he did have some nice games in the regular season filling in when Paul rested. He played 39 minutes against Oklahoma City on March 31 in one of those games and had 32 points, five assists, four rebounds, and two steals.  While a line like that isn’t likely to happen tonight against Portland, he does have that kind of upside if things go his way.  Rivers will most definitely have the opportunity, so give him a look at this affordable price since he’ll be taking plenty of shots tonight. ∗∗∗∗
