FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – February 24, 2018
High Value SF
Josh Jackson, PHO vs POR ($5,900): Jackson continues to play above his salary, delivering 29.9 fantasy points against the Clippers on Friday. He’s moved to the bench, but still sees enough minutes and opportunities to be a solid contributor. T.J. Warren looked more like himself on Friday, but there’s no denying that Jackson has outplayed him in recent games. His slightly lower salary helps him over perform and saves you $100. Until he goes into a cold streak, keep riding the hot hand of Jackson. ***
Josh Richardson, MIA vs MEM ($5,500): After missing value in three straight, Richardson bounced back in a big way, delivering 47.9 fantasy points against the Pelicans. The Grizzlies are fifth against the position in their last 15 games, but Richardson’s strong game on Friday is a good sign for his value moving forward. Both teams are on a back-to-back, but the Heat are at home and are the more desperate of the two teams given their current place in the standings. Nearly 50 fantasy points might be too much to ask, but Richardson will be over value once again. ****
Nemanja Bjelica, MIN vs CHI ($3,500): Only grab Bjelica if Butler is ruled out and he picks up the start. If that’s the scenario, he becomes a must play option as he’ll easily outperform his value and is a great cost saving option to grab another star on a good night of action. He’s averaging 26.8 fantasy points in the four games he started for Butler in January. He needs 15.3 fantasy points to reach value on Saturday. When Butler went out on Friday, he picked up extra minutes and had 22.3 fantasy points. He’s going to easily be over 20 fantasy points on Saturday if he starts. *****
