FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – April 25

High Value SF

Trevor Ariza, HOU vs OKC ($5700): Ariza had his first positive output in Game 4, scoring 29.5 fantasy points in 43 minutes. In the previous three games, he averaged about 14 fantasy points. Even the 29.5 fantasy points is borderline reasonable for his price tag, but his price is well over-valued for his current series averages. **

Joe Johnson, UTA at LAC ($5700): Johnson was called upon heavily in Game 4 with Gordon Hayward sitting most of the game with food poisoning, and Johnson responded with 42.5 fantasy points in his 34 minutes. This was a second big game for Johnson in this series, both of which came in a game when a team pillar left the game early for injury. However, in the two intermediate games, he was scoring in the mid-upper teens of fantasy points despite playing almost 33 minutes per game. He is therefore a risky proposition in Game 5, though he clearly has the capacity to produce. ***

Joe Ingles, UTA at LAC ($5100): Ingles had his best performance in Game 4, scoring 35.7 fantasy points after being between 18.4 and 22.7 fantasy points in each of the first three games. His Game 4 performance, like the other Jazz wings, was heavily influenced by the absence of Gordon Hayward. But, he was at least reasonably productive in the games before, lending some added weight to his Game 4 production. **
