FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-November 12
High Salary PG
Isaiah Thomas-Boston Celtics (8,200): Thomas helped the Celtics break out of their mini-slump with a win last night against the Knicks. He has been extremely steady and productive so far this season with at least 23 points in each of Boston’s eight games. He at least 36.7 fantasy points in each of his last five games including a pair of double-doubles in the Celtics last two road games. He should be able to take advantage of a good matchup against Jeff Teague and produce close to or even above his 39.6 fantasy points per game average. Although Boston is on a back-t0-back, Thomas only had to play 28 minutes last night to get 29 points and 38.6 fantasy points, so he should be fresh enough to contribute again tonight.∗∗∗
Kyle Lowry-Toronto Raptors (7,800): Lowry has reeled off three straight games of 40+ fantasy points coming into tonight’s matchup with the Knicks. He had a pair of double-doubles in those three games and fell just one rebound short of a triple-double against the Thunder on Monday. Lowry played 36 minutes last night against the Hornets totaling 19 points, eight boards, and six assists for 43.6 fantasy points. He usually carries a heavy load of minutes, though, so as long as the Raptors don’t try and rest any of their starters he should be ready to roll wiht another big game tonight. ∗∗∗
Eric Bledsoe-Phoenix Suns (7,700): The Suns early-season struggles can’t be blamed on Bledsoe who has been putting up solid numbers all season and is starting to find his rhythm as a multi-category producer. Bledsoe had 21 points, 11 rebounds, and eight assists against the Pistons on Wednesday in his most recent game for a solid 41.2 fantasy points. He has at least 39 fantasy points in back-to-back games and he is in a good matchup in one of the later games against the Nets who have suffered some key injuries in their backcourt. ∗∗∗∗
Dennis Schroder-Atlanta Hawks (6,000): Schroder’s transition to everyday starting PG hasn’t been as seamless as the Hawks were hoping, but he is showing signs of settling in. He started the season with his lowest total of fantasy points finishing with just 17.4, but he has been over 27 fantasy points in five of his seven games since then. He had a strong 17-point, 12-assist double-double against Houston for 34.6 fantasy points a week ago and followed that up with a season-high 28 points against the Cavs on his way to 35.4 fantasy points. He was underwhelming on Wednesday with just 21.9 fantasy points, but he should be able to bounce back tonight against the 76ers who are allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to opposing PG.∗∗
