FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 18, 2018
High Salary PF
Anthony Davis, NO vs BOS ($12,400): Davis was held to 44.1 fantasy points against the Rockets on Saturday. He’s now missed value in two straight. He’s run up against good defenses in the Spurs and Rockets, but the Celtics defense is also good. That said, he had 75.2 fantasy points against Boston on Jan. 16. Davis is still a worthy player to build your team around due to his ceiling. His recent play doesn’t make him the lock he had been in prior weeks, especially at this salary, but he’s still capable of monster performances. ****
Tobias Harris, LAC vs POR ($8,000): Harris had 43 fantasy points against the Thunder on Friday. He’s missed value just once in the month of March. The Trail Blazers are 16th against the position in their last 15 games. Harris has been the most consistent performer for the Clippers since he was brought over from Detroit. There is no reason to think he’ll slow down now. ****
High Value PF
Marcus Morris, BOS at NO ($6,300): Morris missed value by .5 fantasy points against the Magic on Friday. The return of Al Horford cut into his value and his salary hasn’t exactly dropped much largely due to the matchup. The Pelicans are 28th against small forwards in their last 15 games. Morris needs 27.3 fantasy points to hit value. He should give you at least 25 fantasy points and can hurt New Orleans from deep. ***
Al-Farouq Aminu, POR at LAC ($4,900): Aminu has been over value in three straight and is coming off a 34.4 fantasy point effort against the Pistons on Saturday. He’s averaging 33.1 fantasy points in two games against the Clippers this season. He should be over value in this one. ***
