FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – April 25
High Salary PG
Russell Westbrook, OKC at HOU ($14,700): Westbrook is a known quantity at this point. He’s averaging more than 75 fantasy points in the last three games, but he also costs almost $15k. Can you fit him onto your team and still field a supporting cast you’re confident in? If so, use him. If not, fade him and pray for another effort like the 40.7 fantasy points from Game 1. ***
Chris Paul, LAC vs UTA ($10,400): Paul has averaged 57 fantasy points in the two games that Blake Griffin has been injured and/or out completely, and has scored at least 54.9 fantasy points in three of the four games this series. The Jazz got Rudy Gobert back last game, and the series is tied 2 – 2 going back to LA, so Paul will be called upon to do just as much heavy lifting on Tuesday to give his team a chance. *****
Mike Conley, MEM at SA ($8500): Conley has played strong basketball all series, scoring between 25.2 and 40.2 fantasy points in each of the first three games before his 56.8 fantasy point explosion in Game 4. The Grizzlies have tied the series going back to San Antonio, and Conley will again be the primary engine for the Grizzlies offense in Game 5. ****
