FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-December 14
High Value SF
Marcus Morris-Detroit Pistons (5,200): Morris and the Pistons roll into Dallas tonight after Morris went off for a season-high 28 points as the Pistons tried to come back against the Sixers. He finished with 32.9 fantasy points giving him at least 23 fantasy points in four of his last five games. He seems to be much more involved with Reggie Jackson back at the point for the Pistons and remains a nice spot-up option off the Drummond-Jackson pick-and-roll. Morris is the best play in the 5,000’s at SF tonight. ∗∗∗
James Johnson-Miami Heat (4,900): Johnson stepped right back into the Heat rotation after missing four games with a shoulder injury. He had 14-5-3 for 22.5 fantasy points in his 30 minutes in his return. Tonight, he’ll face the Pacers and is a solid play from just under 5K with 30+ fantasy points as his upside. ∗∗
Glenn Robinson III-Indiana Pacers (4,400): Robinson will step into the Indiana starting lineup at SG for the next few games while Monta Ellis is out. He played 33 minutes against Charlotte on Monday and had 21.2 fantasy points in that start. He showed some real potential when covering for Paul George earlier this season with over 23 fantasy points in four of his previous five starts. He’s definitely a value option to watch tonight as he and the Pacers take on Johnson and the Heat. ∗∗
DeMarre Carroll-Toronto Raptors (4,300): Carroll and the Raptors take on the 76ers tonight who have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to opposing SF this season. Carroll had 10-5-3 agains them earlier this season for 26.5 fantasy points, and he is fully expected to play since tonight’s game isn’t part of a back-to-back. Carroll has at least 21 fantasy points in four of his last six starts and should be a nice option again tonight. ∗∗∗
Dorian Finney-Smith-Dallas Mavericks (4,300): Finney-Smith is well on his way to making DFS fans out of his DFS owners. He had a career-high 13 points on Monday when he was a key piece of my successful FanDuel daily picks lineup. He totaled an impressive 35.3 fantasy points on 13-9-3 with two blocks and two steals. He has at least 21 fantasy points in three straight and should keep getting run while Dirk Nowitzki and Andrew Bogut are sidelined. ∗∗∗∗
Joe Ingles-Utah Jazz (4,000): The Jazz could be without Rodney Hood again tongiht (hamstring), and Ingles has become the go-to option in the starting lineup to replace Hood when necessary. Ingles had a great game for the shorthanded Jazz on Thursday when he had 39.5 fantasy points on 21-5-3 and four steals. He followed that up with 11-6-4 in his start against the Kings on Saturday for 23.2 fantasy points. If he gets the start for Hood again tonight, he should able to get at least 20 fantasy points against the Thunder who could be without their own starting SG, Victor Oladipo. If starting-∗∗∗
