FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – January 16, 2018
High Salary SF
Jimmy Butler, MIN at ORL ($9,400): Butler has hit value in four of his last five. Since Dec. 23, he’s missed value just twice. He had 39.1 fantasy points against the Magic on Nov. 22. I expect that number to be way up on Tuesday given the way both teams are playing right now. Assuming this game isn’t over by the third quarter, Butler has a chance to push 50 fantasy points in this one. *****
Harrison Barnes, DAL at DEN ($6,800): The Nuggets are 25th against the position in their last 15 games. Barnes had 37.5 fantasy points against them on Dec. 4. Barnes has been a reliable player all season, hitting value in 77 percent of games. He’s a reliable play on Dallas as he puts up solid numbers in all categories and always finds a way to contribute, even if he’s not scoring a ton. ***
T.J Warren, PHO at POR ($6,800): As of this writing, Warren is listed as questionable with a back injury. He only makes this list due to the limited options at small forward on Tuesday. Warren has been within one fantasy point or over value in six straight. He needs 27.6 fantasy points to hit value on Tuesday. Check his status before making any decisions. If he plays, I think he falls just short of value. **
