FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-November 1
High Salary PG
Damian Lillard-Portland Trail Blazers (9,900): While Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis have gotten the attention, Lillard is off to a red-hot start for the Blazers as well. He has posted over 40 fantasy points in all three of his games and is coming off a monster 37-point, seven-assist, three-steal game against the Nuggets last Saturday. He tore up the Warriors in last year’s playoff series and will look to force Steph Curry to defend him again tonight as he attacks the Warriors smaller lineup. Lillard is pricey, but he is also the center of everything that happens in the Blazers offense meaning he could be good for 54+ fantasy points for the third time in four games tonight.∗∗∗∗
Kyrie Irving-Cleveland Cavaliers (7,800): Irving has scored at least 20 points in all three of the Cavs games to start the season as Cleveland has started 3-0 in their title defense. He should be set up for another high-scoring game tonight since James Harden isn’t playing a ton of defense as Houston’s starting PG. Irving is averaging 35.8 fantasy points in his first three games this season, and he should be able to be slightly above that average tonight with the potential for a high-scoring shootout against the Rockets.∗∗∗
Goran Dragic-Miami Heat (6,900): Dragic is coming off his best game of the season which came on Sunday against San Antonio. In that contest, Dragic scored a season-high 25 points and added five assists and three rebounds for 36.1 fantasy points. If he is aggressive like he was in that game, he’ll be a good play again tonight. He’s in a good matchup against the Kings who are still without Darren Collison and will be relying on veteran Ty Lawson to play the bulk of the minutes on the second night of back-to-back games. ∗∗∗∗
Mike Conley-Memphis Grizzlies (6,800): Conley is also coming off his best performance of the season as he and the Grizz look to beat the T-Wolves for the second time this season. Conley had a double-double on Sunday against the Wizards with 24 points and 11 assists helping him to 40.3 fantasy points. Conley’s minutes have been up-and-down this season, but he’s definitely the key piece at the point of attack in coach Fizdale’s offense.∗∗∗
