FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-November 8
High Value PG
J.J. Barea-Dallas Mavericks (5,700): The Mavericks finally go their first win of the season as they beat the Bucks on in Overtime on Sunday. Tonight, they’ll be without Dirk Nowitzki again and probably Deron Williams as well (doubtful). The one consistent player through all their injuries and struggles so far this year as been J.J. Barea who definitely is one of coach Rick Carlisle’s go-to options. Barea started on Sunday and played a massive 46 minutes. He finished with a well-balanced 33.7 fantasy points on 21 points, six rebounds, and five assists. He has at least 29 fantasy points in three of his last four and makes a great play under 6K tonight against LA since he’ll again be asked to carry the load for the Mavs.∗∗∗∗
Kris Dunn-Minnesoat Timberwolves (4,800): Another PG begin asked to step up for this team due to injuries to the starters is the T-Wolves’ rookie Kris Dunn. Dun has started the last three games for Minnesota with Ricky Rubio out with mixed results. His best game was Tuesday against Memphis when he had 10 points, six assists, and five steals for 30.8 fantasy points, but he has only posted 24.5 fantasy points and 17.3 fantasy points in his tow games since. He’s in a nice matchup tonight against the Nets who are also thin at PG since Jeremy Lin is out, but Dunn is still risky given his recent lack of big numbers.∗∗
Wade Baldwin IV-Memphis Grizzlies (3,600): Memphis could be without starting PG Mike Conley tonight as they host the Nuggets which would leave a lot of the heavy lifting to rookie Wade Baldwin. Conley is officially questionable with a hamstring issue, but he has also been playing through a achilles injury. Baldwin would fill in if Conley is unable to play or if he’s limited by either or both injuries. The rookie started the season with a few good games but hd didn’t even get on the floor in Memphis’s last game making him only an option if Conley is ruled out before roster lock. If starting-∗∗
