FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-November 18
High Salary C
DeMarcus Cousins-Sacramento Kings (9,800): Boogie has 54.4 fantasy points on Wednesday for my FanDuel daily picks and powered one of my lineups to a solid finish. He has over 44 fantasy points in each of his last five games and over 50 in three of those contests. On Wednesday he posted 26-17-6 which was his season-high in assists. Tongiht he’ll face a familiar foe as DeAndre Jordan and the Clippers come to Sacramento. The Clippers have limited their opposing C’s to the third-fewest fantasy points per game so far this year, but Boogie is still worth a look especially at home where he tends to go big.∗∗
Marc Gasol-Memphis Grizzlies (7,100): The Grizz got a big win over the Clippers on Wednesday in large part due to 26-6-6 from Marc Gasol. The big man produced over 40 fantasy points for the second time in his last six games, and he is in a good matchup to post another big statline tonight as he takes on the Mavericks who are extremely thin due to injury. Gasol is the rare big man who doesn’t get schemed out of the game if opponents’ go small, so look for him to have another solid night in Dallas making him a pretty low-risk play at 7K. ∗∗∗
DeAndre Jordan-Los Angeles Clippers (6,800): Jordan finished with eight points, 14 rebounds, and two blocks in that game against Gasol for a solid 31.3 fantasy points of his own. He has at least 24 fantasy points in five straight and has over 31 in three of his last five. Tonight, Jordan faces Cousins and the Kings in what should be a strong game for him. Jordan is doing his usual work on the glass and he can go for 40+ fantasy points when he gets some solid scoring to go with his blocks and boards. ∗∗∗
Pau Gasol-San Antonio Spurs (6,200): Gasol returns to LA in a revenge game against the Lakers, and he comes in with good momentum as he settles in with the Spurs. Gasol has 35+ fantasy points in three of his last four games including a 21-9-6 game against the Pistons for 45.8 fantasy points and a 24-9-2 game agains the Kings on Wednesday. Gasol is still a little risky scene his coach is Gregg Popovich, but I love his value and his matchup at this price tonight. ∗∗∗∗
