FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-December 6
High Value PF
JaMychal Green-Memphis Grizzlies (5,200): Green played a massive 43 minutes last night and finishes with 25.5 fantasy points on 5-15-1 and a steal. He has at least 24.9 in each of his last four games and five of his last six. He’ll try to overcome any fatigue issues tonight as he faces the 76ers who are missing a lot of their big men with Jahlil Okaford, Joel Embiid, and Nerlens Noel all unavailable for tonight’s contest. Green should be able to do good work on the glass and be a solid 5K play tonight. ∗∗∗
Ersan Ilyasova-Philadelphia 76ers (4,600): One of the 76ers who will get some playing time as a result of all the absences in the front court is Ersan Ilyasova. Ilyasova had 17-8-2 and two steals for 32.6 fantasy points against the Nuggets last night and has over 21 fantasy points in six of his last eight games. He’s dealing with some foot soreness himself, but he’s one of the few big bodies the Sixers will have available tonight, so he’ll get 30+ minutes if he’s up for it and should be able to produce 25+ fantasy points.∗∗∗∗∗
Trey Lyles-Utah Jazz (4,200): Lyles continued to be a solid contributor for Utah since Derrick Favors’ most recent injury, but he hasn’t gone off enough to get his price to climb out of the bargain region. He had 17.9 fantasy points last night against the Lakers and has over 16 in each of his last six games, but he has only reached 20 fantasy points twice during that run. Tonight, he does get a good matchup against the Suns who are allowing the third-most fantasy points to opposing PF, but he’s still a flier to give you anything more than just mediocre performance tonight.∗∗
Richaun Holmes-Philadlephia 76ers (3,500): Holmes is lined up for a ton of work tonight with Embiid resting and both Nerlens Noel and Jahlil Okafor out. He’s the only “center” the Sixers have to roll at Marc Gasol which could make Gasol a good start, but also give Holmes some interesting upside. Holmes has scored in double-digits in three of the last five games he has played in and had 11-8-1 with two blocks for a solid 25.1 fantasy points last night against Denver. He has at least 18 fantasy points in each of the last seven games in which he has played at least 19 minutes, so given his increased role I think he’s a very nice bargain play to target tonight. ∗∗∗∗
