FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 16, 2018
High Value SG
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, LAL vs MIA ($6,100): Caldwell-Pope had 27.3 fantasy points against the Warriors on Wednesday. He’s been over value in four straight and his salary is actually declining. He needs 24.8 fantasy points to hit value on Friday. The Heat are 19th against the position in their last 15 games. Given his recent play and his lowered salary, there’s no reason to think that Caldwell-Pope will disappoint. ****
J.J. Redick, PHI vs BKN ($4,900): Redick had 26.1 fantasy points against the Knicks on Thursday. He was held to just 15 fantasy points against the Nets on Mar. 11. The Sixers were able to get everyone involved in that game, which hurt the value of certain guys a bit more. On a back-to-back, this game might be more competitive, leading to more opportunities for Redick. He’s been a solid bet all season and will have success on Friday. ***
Wayne Ellington, MIA at LAL ($4,200): Ellington had 28.2 fantasy points against the Kings on Wednesday. He’s been over value in four straight. If Josh Richardson doesn’t play, Ellington will likely see some of those opportunities typically afford to Richardson. He was already overtaking him in minutes prior to Richardson’s injury. Ellington should be in for a good night given the circumstances. ***
