FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – April 20
High Salary and Value SG
Giannis Antetokounmpo, MIL vs TOR ($10,500): Antetokounmpo turned in another monster performance in Game 2, scoring 52.5 fantasy points to back up his 47.1 fantasy points in Game 1. The Raptors just don’t have anyone that can physically match up with Antetokounmpo, and he is aggressively taking it to their defense on a regular basis. In Game 3, he’ll have the same advantages but on his home court this time, as he tries to lead his team back into the lead in the series. ****
DeMar DeRozan, TOR at MIL ($8200): DeRozan scored 33.9 fantasy points in Game 2, after scoring 37.1 fantasy points in Game 1. He has been solid, but unspectacular in both games so far in the playoffs, failing to reach his season average of 39.5 fantasy points in either game. He is facing a Game 3 on the road, with his team needing to steal one of the next two games to take back home court advantage. ***
Lance Stephenson, IND vs CLE ($5000): Stephenson scored 25.4 fantasy points in 26 minutes in Game 2, after scoring 28.9 fantasy points in 27 minutes in Game 1. He has firmly re-established himself as an important cog in the Pacers’ machine, despite playing only six games with them after signing late in the year. He and Paul George still play well with one another, and Stephenson’s fearlessness against LeBron James in the playoffs helps give the Pacers the edge to stay competitive with the defending champs. ****
