FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-November 19
High Salary SG
Giannis Antetokounmpo-Milwaukee Bucks (9,600): “The Alphabet” had a pair of 50-fantasy-point games but cooled off a bit on Thursday in Miami on the second half of a back-to-back. He started that two-game set strong with 56.5 fantasy points against the Hawks on 26-15-7. He’ll look to get things back in gear tongiht as the Bucks host the Warriors. Golden State is allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing PG and the seventh-most fantasy points per game to opposing SG. Whichever way you classify the do-it-all guard/forward, Antetokounmpo should be able to put up fantasy points if he attacks the Warriors tonight. The only risk is that the game turns into a blowout and the Bucks don’t play their starters their usual minutes, but Milwaukee has played Golden State close in recent history making Giannis a solid play if you can afford his salary tonight. ∗∗∗
Avery Bradley-Boston Celtics (7,000): Bradley had another double-double last night against the Warriors with 17 points and ten boards on his way to 35 fantasy points. He has a surprising six double-doubles in his last eight games, and his work on the glass has helped him to post over 30 fantasy points in all but one of his 12 games this season. Bradley and the Celtics will face the Pistons tonight in Detroit, and Bradley could be forced into even more minutes if Marcus Smart joins Jae Crowder on the sidelines. Bradley’s boards make him a solid play at 7K and he has become a every-game option in my FanDuel daily picks.∗∗∗∗
Nicolas Batum-Charlotte Hornets (6,700): “Boom-Boom” came up big for my FanDuel daily picks last night and helped the Hornets to a nice win against Atlanta. Batum totaled over 40 fantasy points for the third game in a row finishing with his typically well-balanced 24-10-4 after games of 15-9-7 and 16-5-7 earlier this week. Tonight, the Hornets visit the Big Easy in what should be a good matchup for Batum to continue his recent run of production which makes him look like a great investment at under 7K. ∗∗∗∗
