FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – April 18
High Salary SG
Giannis Antetokounmpo, MIL at TOR ($10,700): Antetokounmpo led his team to a Game 1 win with 28 points, eight boards, three assists, two steals and a highlight-reel block of DeMar DeRozan. The Raptors are strong defensively on the perimeter, but Antetokounmpo has physical advantages that allow him to thrive when he’s aggressive and can get to the cup. ****
DeMar DeRozan, TOR vs MIL ($8300): DeRozan had a solid effort in Game 1, especially in the first half, scoring 27 points with eight rebounds on the game. DeRozan and Kyle Lowry will be tasked with raising their games on Tuesday, to avoid their team falling into an 0 -2 hole. ***
Dwyane Wade, CHI at BOS ($6600): Wade played with no minutes restriction in Game 1, scoring 11 points with six assists, five rebounds, two blocks and two steals in 34 minutes of action. He took a clear backseat to Jimmy Butler as a scorer, and played more of a co-facilitator role with Rajon Rondo. Wade’s fantasy stat line was saved by his four combined blocks/steals, but to stay near the 30-fantasy point threshold he’s going to need to score more moving forwards. **
