FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – December 4, 2017
High Value PG
Dennis Smith Jr., DAL vs DEN ($5,500): Smith Jr. didn’t quite look like himself against the Clippers, accumulating just 23.5 fantasy points. He was dealing with a stomach virus, so that may have slowed him down a bit. The Nuggets are 29th against the position in their last 15 games. Smith Jr. has seen his salary drop over the past couple of weeks and now is the time to take advantage of that. ****
Darren Collison, IND vs NY ($5,900): Collison had 39 fantasy points against the Knicks on Nov. 5. He’s been over 30 fantasy points in four of his last six games. The Knicks are 24th against the position in their last 15 games. Collison is able to put up numbers in every category and should be well above his value in this game. ****
Jamal Murray, DEN at DAL ($5,600): Murray has the hot hand for the Nuggets right now, having just had 42.8 fantasy points against the Lakers. The Mavericks are 26th against the position in their last 15 games. Murray is a guy who knows he has to step up in the absence of Nikola Jokic and he was able to do that on Saturday. He’s inconsistent, but he’s one of the better options on the Nuggets. ***
