FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – February 6, 2018
High Value SF
Robert Covington, PHI vs WAS ($5,900): After missing value in five straight, Covington posted 37.1 fantasy points against the Pacers on Saturday. The Wizards are on a back-to-back and rank 26th against the position in their last 15 games. Covington is averaging 35.4 fantasy points in two games against the Wizards this season. He’s been inconsistent this season, but he’s coming off a strong performance, the Philadelphia crowd is going to be amped up, and this is a good matchup. ****
Josh Jackson, PHO at LAL ($5,900): Devin Booker has already been ruled out for Tuesday. Unless his status changes between the time you read this and tip-off, you can comfortably assume that Josh Jackson will draw the start. He’s been over value in six his last seven. His salary as climbed to where he needs 24.9 fantasy points to reach value onTuesday. Jackson has been great as the secondary scorer next to T.J. Warren and he’s unlikely to slow down against the Lakers. He’ll push 30 fantasy points once again on Tuesday. ***
Mario Hezonja, ORL vs CLE ($5,000): Hezonja is averaging 22.5 fantasy points in three games against the Cavaliers this season. He needs 21.1 fantasy points to reach value on Tuesday. If Hezonja starts, he’ll easily exceed value. If he comes off the bench, he’s not quite the same player, but this matchup is too good to pass up on. He’s been over value in five straight. Expect another strong performance from the Orlando guard against a poor Cleveland defense. ****
