FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 20, 2018
High Salary SF
Paul George, OKC at BOS ($8,200): The Celtics are 19th against the position in their last 15 games. George had 36.5 fantasy points against the Raptors on Sunday and needs 35.1 fantasy points to reach value on Tuesday. The Celtics are a banged up squad while the Thunder have been on a roll lately. George has been inconsistent during this stretch, but he gets his shots and chips in with his playmaking and defense. He should be around value and there’s always a chance he gets hot from the field. ***
Taurean Prince, ATL at UTA ($7,700): Prince had 51.1 fantasy points against the Bucks on Saturday. The Jazz are second against the position in their last 15 games. Prince is the best option on the Hawks, but anyone against Utah is a risk right now with the way they are playing defense. He needs 33 fantasy points to reach value on Tuesday. He’ll get his usual opportunities, but the matchup isn’t good and there are better players at lower salaries. **
Jonathon Simmons, ORL vs TOR ($7,000): Simmons is listed as questionable heading into Tuesday. Check his status before making any decisions and seeing as you’ll likely be spending on shooting guards, this is the position to find some value. Simmons had 21.3 fantasy points against the Celtics on Friday. He needs 30 fantasy points to reach value on Tuesday. Even if he plays, this salary is a bit too rich for my tastes. He has a high ceiling, but the matchup is tough and there is better value elsewhere. **
