FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-January 20

High Salary SF

Jimmy Butler-Chicago Bulls (9,800): Jimmy Buckets has been getting his lately and has over 50 fantasy points in three of his last four healthy games not counting the two-and-a-half he missed with illness. He had 24-9-12 against the Mavs on Tuesday in his last game after 28-8-6 on Saturday against New Orleans. His balanced production makes him low risk and he has the potential to absolutely go off like he did for 81.4 fantasy points against the Hornets back on January 2. With D-Wade expected to play both of the Bulls’ back-to-back starting tonight, Butler will get his usual usage which is still plenty high enough to give him a look even though he is expensive as the Bulls take on the Hawks in Atlanta tonight. Earlier this year, Butler had 39-4-7 with six steals against Atlanta, so get him in your lineup if you can tonight.∗∗∗∗

Paul George-Indiana Pacers (7,400): Of all the top-level SF, the one with the best statistical matchup tonight is Paul George who takes on the Lakers who are allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing SF this season and the fourth-most over their last five games. PG13 doesn’t come in with great form after just 31.3 fantasy points in 42 minutes against the Kings although he did post 35 fantasy points on 19-5-6 on Monday against New Orleans. George has a high ceiling but his lack of form makes him boom or bust.∗∗

Gordon Hayward-Utah Jazz (7,400): Hayward doesn’t have quite the scoring ceiling that George does given their matchups tonight, but Hayward should be able to bounce back from a surprisingly quiet game in Phoenix. He only had 17-4-5 for 28.3 fantasy points against the Suns on Monday snapping a streak of four straight with 32+ fantasy points and 20+ points. Hayward should get plenty of usage with Rodney Hood still out, so he’s safer than George at this price although the Mavs are a better defensive team than LA. ∗∗∗
