FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – February 27, 2018
High Value SF
Josh Richardson, MIA vs PHI ($6,000): Richardson looks refreshed after the All-Star break. He had 47.9 fantasy points against the Pelicans and followed that up with 35.1 fantasy points against the Grizzlies. He needs 26.3 fantasy points to reach value on Tuesday. The Sixers are 30th against the position in their last 15 games. He’s averaging 20.9 fantasy in two games against the Sixers this season, although one was just after the trade deadline when he seemed to question himself with Dwyane Wade returning. He’ll push 30 fantasy points on Tuesday. ****
DeMarre Carroll, BKN at CLE ($5,700): The Nets welcomed back a couple of players on Monday night, but they didn’t cut into Carroll’s value. He had 33.7 fantasy points against the Bulls. The back-to-back is slightly worrying, but he’s been over value in seven of then back-to-back situations. It helps that they’ll be facing the Cavaliers, who rank 28th against the position in their last 15 games. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson will cut into his value at some point, but not just yet. Carroll should be over value in this one. ***
Kelly Oubre Jr., WAS at MIL ($5,000): Oubre Jr. poured in 37.9 fantasy points against the Sixers on Sunday. He’s been over 30 fantasy points in two of his last three games. He’s done well against the Bucks this season, averaging 24.7 fantasy points in three contests. He needs 21.9 fantasy points to reach value. With John Wall out of the lineup, he gets more of an opportunity to contribute. This is a matchup he’s done well against and one he should be over value against once again. ****
