FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 11, 2018
High Salary PG
Jeff Teague, MIN vs GS ($7,400): Teague has missed value just once since Jimmy Butler went down with an injury. The addition of Derrick Rose, who is available to play on Sunday, could cut into the value of Teague. Still, Teague is far more reliable and should continue to run the Minnesota offense. He had 37.1 fantasy points against the Warriors on Jan. 25. He should be around 35 fantasy points on Sunday. ****
Ricky Rubio, UTA at NO ($7,000): The Pelicans are 20th against the position in their last 15 games. Rubio has been over value in four of his last five. In his one miss, he was within .8 fantasy points of hitting value. Aside from some injury issues, he’s been a fantastic play since the start of 2018. He had 38.1 fantasy points against the Pelicans on Feb. 5. He should be over 30 fantasy points once again. ****
Kyrie Irving, BOS vs IND ($8,700): If James Harden doesn’t play against the Mavericks, Chris Paul is a better option than Irving. But Irving should still turn in a strong game, especially with Jaylen Brown out of the lineup. Irving will be tasked with a higher usage rate to replace Brown’s production. He hasn’t been great against the Pacers this season, but he has been great since the All-Star break. He’ll push 40 fantasy points in this one. ****
Lonzo Ball, LAL vs CLE ($7,700): Ball has missed value just once in five games since returning to the starting lineup. And that came against the red hot Portland Trail Blazers. The Cavaliers are 23rd against the position in their last 15 games. Ball had 39.1 fantasy points against Cleveland on Dec. 14. He’ll have his usual solid stat line, going over 35 fantasy points and likely ending up closer to 40. ****
