FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – February 11, 2018
High Salary SG
Victor Oladipo, IND vs NY ($9,900): Oladipo dropped 60 fantasy points against the Celtics on Friday. He’s been disappointing in two games against the Knicks this season, averaging 33.3 fantasy points in those contests. He needs 39.1 fantasy points to reach value on Sunday. With Darren Collison out, he’s taken on even more offensive responsibilities. The Knicks are in a bit of flux right now with Kristaps Porzingis going down combined with Enes Kanter missing time. Oladipo should be over 40 fantasy points in this contest. ****
James Harden, HOU vs DAL ($11,800): Harden had 47.9 fantasy points in 27 minutes against the Nuggets on Friday. Lack of playing time might be an issue once more for Harden as this one could get ugly in a hurry with the Mavericks on a back-to-back and on the road. Harden will provide plenty of scoring for as long as he plays and is a better option than Chris Paul, but comes with a higher price tag. Tyreke Evans should be in for a good night, especially if the Thunder are missing two starters once again. If this one happens to be close, Harden will get 50-plus fantasy points. ****
Donovan Mitchell, UTA at POR ($7,500): Mitchell had 39.2 fantasy points against the Hornets on Friday. He finally looked recovered from his illness, which is a good sign for his value moving forward. Ricky Rubio is listed as questionable and Rodney Hood is off to Cleveland. Hood’s departure will put more offensive responsibility on Mitchell. If Rubio is out, that responsibility increases further. Expect him to handle it without much issue if his play thus far is any indication. *****
