FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-November 1
High Salary PF
Anthony Davis-New Orleans Pelicans (11,000): Davis has been the biggest fantasy stud of the season despite a letdown on Saturday on the second game of a back-to-back when he tangled with the Spurs. Davis started the season with one of the best fantasy performances ever finishing with 95.7 fantasy points against the Nuggets. He followed that with 45 points and 17 rebounds on his way to 76.9 fantasy points against the Warriors. You can overlook his 29 fantasy points against San Antonio based on the circumstances, and expect him to bounce back tonight as he comes back home against the Bucks tonight. Milwaukee has struggled to defend opposing big-men the last few years which could lead to another beast-mode night for “the Brow”.∗∗∗
Kevin Love-Cleveland Cavaliers (7,400): Another team that has struggled with opposing PF over the last few years is the Rockets who present a good matchup tonight for Kevin Love. Love started the season with a pair of solid double-doubles resulting in 39+ fantasy points. He played limited minutes on Saturday against the Magic in a blowout finishing with just 23 fantasy points, but he should be back to his 20-10 production tonight making him solid play at 7.4K. ∗∗∗∗
Julius Randle-Los Angeles Lakers (6,400): Randle has started strong in his first year with coach Luke Walton. Randle struggled a little in Utah, but has posted nice, well-rounded stat lines against the Thunder and Rockets when he had 39.3 and 35.4 fantasy points respectively. The Pacers are playing at a fast pace this season under coach Nate McMillan, so look for tonight’s LA-Indiana game to be high-scoring and up-tempo which are the games that Randle tends to thrive in. He has a ton of upside at just over 6K although he can still be inconsistent at times (Exhibit A-only 15.3 fantasy points against the Jazz.) ∗∗
