FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – January 24, 2018
High Value C
Dewayne Dedmon, ATL vs TOR ($5,500): Dedmon has been utilized off the bench since returning to the lineup and that appears to be his permanent role. I actually like the duo of him and John Collins coming off the bench for the Hawks. He missed value against the Jazz, but had been over value in five straight prior to that. He needs 24.1 fantasy points to his value on Wednesday. I like him to be right around that number, producing a solid game overall. ***
Jonas Valanciunas, TOR at ATL ($5,400): The good news is that the Hawks are 29th against the position in their last 15 games. The better news is that Valanciunas is averaging 28.9 fantasy points in two games against Atlanta this season. The bad news is that he’s a very boom-or-bust player. He played 11 minutes against the Timberwolves and contributed 4.1 fantasy points. He’s a risk, but the matchup and his season history against the Hawks projects well. **
Tyson Chandler, PHO at IND ($4,900): Chandler has been over value in four of his last five. He didn’t play on Monday against Milwaukee, but that was due to fatigue issues. He should be back in the starting lineup on Wednesday. If word comes out that he’s being rest again, nah Greg Monroe instead. He had 25.8 fantasy points against the Pacers on Jan. 14 and is typically good for around 20 fantasy points. ***
