FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-December 30
High Salary SG
James Harden-Houston Rockets (11,100): Harden has at least a double-double in 11 straight games with a pair of triple-doubles thrown in as well. He had 34-5-11 in just 30 minutes at Dallas on Tuesday for 52.5 fantasy points. That gives him at least 52 fantasy points in seven of his last ten games although he has been held under 55 fantasy points in each of his last five. Harden will need to bring his best game tonight as he and the Rockets host the Clippers as the rivals meet for the first time this season.∗∗∗
Giannis Antetokounmpo-Milwakuee Bucks (10,300): Like Harden, Antetokounmpo has the potential to go off for a monster night. However, he has been down slightly producing less than 50 fantasy points in three of his last four games after reaching that number in four straight before that. He did have a nice 23-5-8 on Wednesday against Detroit for 44 fantasy points, but he isn’t a lock for 50 fantasy points tonight as he and the Bucks take on the T-Wolves. I prefer Harden over “The Alphabet” but it’s impossible to entirely overlook the upside of the Greek Freak.∗∗
C.J. McCollum-Portland Trail Blazers (7,100): McCollum slid over to start at PG for his last two games with Damian Lillard sidelined. Lillard is currently doubtful for tonight meaning McCollum will again get plenty of usage. He had 29-3-7 for 41.1 fantasy points against the Raptors on Monday and 20-2-7 for 32.9 fantasy points against the Kings on Wednesday. He should be able to reach those kind of numbers again tonight even in a tough matchup against the Spurs in San Antonio. ∗∗∗∗
