FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-November 30
High Value PG
Rajon Rondo-Chicago Bulls (5,800): Rondo hasn’t been all the Bulls were hoping for when they signed him this offseason, but he has had good fantasy numbers in his four games since returning from an ankle injury. In each of those games, Rondo has at least 31 fantasy points and had his best game of the year in Denver last Tuesday when he finished with 13-11-8 for 39.2 fantasy points. The Bulls are home for their first home game since the day after Veterans’ Day and a matchup with the Lakers banged-up backcourt should allow Rondo to produce another solid number tonight. ∗∗∗
Dennis Schroder-Atlanta Hawks (5,600): While Atlanta continues to have problems with defending opposing PG, at least they’re getting good fantasy production out of their own starting guard Dennis Schroder. Schroder had one of his best games of the season on Monday against Golden State finishing with 35.2 fantasy points on 24-1-6. He has been inconsistent this year, but he has managed 25 fantasy points or more in each of his lat three games and four of his last five. He’s in a good matchup to attack against the Suns who are allowing the eighth-most fantasy points per game in the NBA to opposing PG, but he’s higher risk than any of the options on the first page of PG picks. ∗∗
Sergio Rodriguez-Philadlephia 76ers (4,400): Rodriguez posted two nice games against the Cavs and Raptors while filling in for the injured-again Jerryd Bayless. Rodriguez had 12-2-7 for 26.9 fantasy points on Sunday and followed that with 11-3-7 for 25.1 fantasy points on Monday night. If Bayless returns, Rodriguez will be extremely risky, but he will end up a good value if Bayless is out or limited. Bayless back-∗ No Bayless-∗∗∗
Jamal Murray-Denver Nuggets (4,100): The Heat have been wiped out by injury over the last few days leaving them very short-handed for their road trip which starts tonight in Denver. One guard who could try to take advantage of their injury depletion is standout rookie Jamal Murray. Murray had run off four straight games with over 28 fantasy points before cooling off a little on Sunday when he managed just 15.8 on 9-4-2 while struggling with foul trouble. With Garry Harris out and Will Barton still banged up, Murray has lots of potential to post a big number tonight back at home in Denver where most of his better totals have come. He’s a boom-or-bust play unless he’s in the starting lineup, but coming off the bench there is still a lot of upside to like. ∗∗
Andrew Harrison-Memphis Grizzlies (3,700): The Grizzlies are searching for a PG after Mike Conley’s major injury. With Conley out at least six weeks, the Grizz are left with rookie Wade Baldwin and the unproven Andrew Harrison. Harrison played last year in the D-League and has shown a few flashes this season that he can contribute given extra playing time. He is a good option at this cheap a price, but remember he has been held under 15 fantasy points in three of his last five games. He’ll get the minutes to get around 20 fantasy points a game despite his poor shooting, though, so roll with him if you have to go super-cheap at PG tonight even though he’s sure to be a popular play. ∗∗∗∗
