FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-December 14

High Salary SG

James Harden-Houston Rockets (11,700): Harden and the Rockets should be ready for lift-off tonight against the Kings. Harden had 23-9-10 when the two teams met on 11/25 posting 43.8 fantasy points. Harden has been solid lately but not quite as spectacular as he was earlier in the season with he was dishing out well over a dozen assists every night. He has gotten back to double-digit helpers in each of his last three games and had 62.1 fantasy points on Monday against Brooklyn with 36-8-11. He’ll need to go off like that to be worth his near-12K salary, but “The Beard” definitely always brings the highest of high ceilings. If you have the salary, he’s a good option to consider.∗∗∗

Avery Bradley-Boston Celtics (6,900): Bradley has been a regular in my FanDuel daily picks this season and his improved non-scoring numbers (specifically rebounding) and 15-20 points per night make him a regular contributor of about 30 fantasy points per game. Bradley had 32.1 fantasy points on 19-8-3 against the Spurs on Black Friday and has at least 27 fantasy points in five of his last six.∗∗∗

Bradley Beal-Washington Wizards (6,900): Bradley (Beal) has more upside than Bradley, Avery, but both are good options at this price. Beal has at least 35 fantasy points in two of his last three games and seven of his last 12. He had 29-2-1 with four steals against the Heat on Monday, and tonight he’ll try to help the Wizards past the Hornets who have a solid backcourt duo of their own in Kemba Walker and Nicholas Batum. Beal is a little risker because he is more reliant on his scoring but with 1t least 18 points in nine straight, I like him to keep rolling tonight.∗∗∗∗
