FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-November 5
High Value PF
Jabari Parker-Milwaukee Bucks (6,000): Parker and the Bucks should be able to pile up points against the Kings tonight which is why so many of them are ending up in my FanDuel daily picks for tonight. Parker has scored over 20 points in back-to-back games and put up a season-high 39.1 fantasy points on Thursday against the Pacers. He added eight rebounds, three assists, and a block to his 27 points in that contest. He has a ton of upside to like at under 6K, but he can be volatile and scoring dependent at times. ∗∗∗∗
Mike Muscala-Atlanta Hawks (4,200): With the Hawks playing for the second night in a row, there should be plenty of minutes for Mike Muscala as he continues to cover for Mike Scott and Tiago Splitter as big man off the bench in the Atlanta rotation. Last night, he had ten points and seven boards for 19.4 fantasy points against the Wizards. He has at least 16 fantasy points in four of his five games this season and over 19 in three of those contests. If tonight’s game gets lop-sided either way, Muscala could get extra time and makes a good buy at this price tonight.∗∗∗
Dario Saric-Philadelphia 76ers (4,100): Saric has been solid for the 76ers in their last two games scoring 21 and 14 points against the Magic and Hornets for 24.9 and 25.1 fantasy points. He is locked in as the team’s starting PF despite the recent acquisition of Ersan Ilyasova and gets plenty of minutes regardless of game situation because the Sixers seem committed to developing him this season especially while Ben Simmons is sidelined. He’s a rookie so consistency is still a question-mark, but he has 25+ fantasy point upside on a nightly basis. ∗∗∗
Montrezl Harrell-Houston Rockets (3,800): Harrell blew up on Wednesday against the Knicks dominating down low for 17 points, ten rebounds, and three blocks on his way to 33 fantasy points. He had only played four minutes total in the Rockets season before that contest, and its worth noting the Nene was out for that contest as well. However, Harrell definitely opened some eyes with his big stat line and could get more run for coach Mike D’Antoni moving forward. Clint Capela is the Rockets starting big man, but his foul shooting makes him a late-game liability. If Harrell can look like he did on Wednesday, he could quickly start to pick up minutes. It’s also possible, though, that it was just a one-game aberration and he’ll return to the end of the bench for tonight’s game against the Hawks. Harrell is the ultimate high-risk play in my FanDuel daily picks for tonight. ∗
