FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 18, 2018
High Salary SF
Nemanja Bjelica, MIN vs HOU ($6,700): Yes, Nemanja Bjelica is a high salary small forward and the only high salary small forward available on Sunday. He had 16.1 fantasy points against the Spurs on Saturday. It was just his second time missing value since re-joining the starting lineup following Jimmy Butler’s latest injury. Despite the miss on Saturday, he remains a big piece of the Minnesota offense and gets the minutes to produce. He needs 28.3 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. ***
High Value SF
Jayson Tatum, BOS at NO ($6,200): Tatum had just 15.6 fantasy points against the Magic on Friday, finishing with eight points. He hasn’t exactly produced the way many thought he would when the Celtics started to lose bodies in the backcourt. The Pelicans struggle against three-point shooter, but Tatum’s shooting has fallen off a cliff since the thumb injury. He’s a risk at this price, but could provide 30-plus fantasy points given the matchup. **
E’Twaun Moore, NO vs BOS ($4,200): Moore had 21 fantasy points against the Rockets on Saturday. He’s been over value in three straight and was over value against the Celtics on Jan. 16. He needs 17.8 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. His recent play projects well and he certainly gets the minutes to perform. As a low cost option, he’s not bad. ***
