FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 22, 2018
High Salary SG
James Harden, HOU vs DET ($11,800): Harden had 55.7 fantasy points against the Trail Blazers on Tuesday. Chris Paul is currently listed as questionable and seeing as the Rockets won’t want to risk anything when it comes to their two-headed monster, it’s possible they hold him out of the lineup. If Paul doesn’t play, that greatly increases the chances Harden goes over value. Even if Paul plays, Harden has been a reliable play all season and should make his way over 50 fantasy points. *****
Donovan Mitchell, UTA at DAL ($8,100): Mitchell had 37.2 fantasy points against the Hawks on Tuesday, putting himself over value for a third straight game. He needs 32.9 fantasy points to reach value on Thursday. Despite losing on Tuesday, many Jazz players went over value. Mitchell has been a consistent play during this recent run the Jazz have gone on and there’s no reason to think that will change now, especially against another favorable matchup. ****
Buddy Hield, SAC vs ATL ($7,000): Hield moved into the starting lineup on Monday against the Pistons and finished with 35.2 fantasy points. He’s been over 35 fantasy points in four straight games, playing at least 30 minutes each contest. As long as he keeps playing 30-plus minutes, he’ll continue to be over value. The matchup is good and his recent play is even better. ****
