FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – April 17
High Salary PF & Value PF
Kevin Love, CLE vs IND ($7900): Love was quiet in the opener to the playoffs, scoring 17 points but grabbing only four boards to go with two blocks and an assist in 31 minutes. He fared better on the glass in his last game against the Pacers in the regular season, grabbing 12 rebounds on April 2. So, expect a bit of a bounce-back for Love in Game 2, though his 28 fantasy point average in his last two games against the Pacers suggests he may still under-perform his price tag. **
LaMarcus Aldridge, SA vs MEM ($6500): Aldridge produced 20 points, six boards and two assists in Game 1 against the Grizzlies, but was on pace for solidly more through three quarters before the game became such a blowout that he was able to sit much of the fourth quarter. Aldridge has performed consistently well against the tough Grizzlies defense this season, making him a solid bet to play well in Game 2 if the game remains competitive. ***
Thaddeus Young, IND at CLE ($4800): Young turned in eight points, nine boards and four assists in Game 1 against the Cavs. This was at the low end of his recent production, but continued his streak of now 10 straight games between 21.8 and 39.3 fantasy points. At his price point, he projects to solid value again in Game 2. ***
