FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – April 8
High Salary PG
John Wall, WAS vs MIA ($10,300): Wall has averaged 47.7 fantasy points, with a min of 28.3 and a max of 63.6 in his last 10 games. The Wizards are still jostling for playoff seeding, so Wall still has something to play for. On Saturday, he faces a Heat team that he has averaged 32 points, eight assists and five rebounds against in two former meetings this season. ****
Chris Paul, LAC at SA ($9400): Paul has scored between 41.1 and 51.1 fantasy points in four straight games. The Clippers are fighting for home-court advantage in the first round, so Paul still has things to play for. On Saturday, Paul faces a Spurs defense that is elite on paper, but that is completely surrounded in mystery as to who is playing and for how long. ****
Damian Lillard, POR vs UTA ($9100): Lillard has averaged 44.2 fantasy points in his last 11 games, with a min of 22.9 and a max of 54.5. That min game came against Saturday’s opponent, the Jazz, who are defensively elite. But the Trail Blazers are still not guaranteed a playoff spot, so Lillard should be looking to bounce-back on Saturday night. ***
Honorable mention: Goran Dragic, MIA at WAS ($7900), Jrue Holiday, NO at GS (No Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousin; $7500)
