FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 18, 2018
High Salary PG
Damian Lillard, POR at LAC ($9,800): Lillard had 55.4 fantasy points against the Pistons on Saturday. He’s been over value in six straight games and four straight back-to-back contests. He needs 41.6 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. Expect him over value once again given the Clippers defense. *****
Terry Rozier, BOS at NO ($7,900): If Kyrie Irving is able to play, Rozier is a bit of a risk at this price. But so is Irving because he could be on a minutes restriction. But if Irving doesn’t play, Rozier is a strong option. He needs 33.5 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. Against a team that struggles against guard play, Rozier could find himself pushing 40 fantasy points. ****
High Value PG
Austin Rivers, LAC vs POR ($6,400): Rivers have been over value in his last four games. The Trail Blazers are first against the position in their last 15 games, but they are on a back-to-back, so maybe they have tired legs. With limited options on Sunday, Rivers will at least play 35-plus minutes and get plenty of opportunities to produce as the Clippers starter. He should be around value. ***
Rajon Rondo, NO vs BOS ($6,200): Rondo rested on Saturday, so while the rest of his teammates may have heavy legs on a tough back-to-back, Rondo should at least be a little fresh. The fact that he’s playing the Celtics will make him that much fresher. He had 32.6 fantasy points against the Celtics on Jan. 16. He relishes this matchup and should be over 30 fantasy points. ****
