FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 25, 2018
High Salary SG
James Harden, HOU vs ATL ($11,800): Harden was under value against the Pelicans on Friday, collecting 43.2 fantasy points in 30 minutes. It’s possible Chris Paul returns in this game, which would decrease Harden’s usage rate. There’s also a chance that Harden’s minutes are down as the Rockets should have no trouble with the Hawks on Sunday. Still, Harden has been the best DFS player all season and is guaranteed points, especially against a weak matchup. ****
Bradley Beal, WAS vs NY ($7,700): Beal has been over value in three of his last four, although two of those games were disappointing by his standards. He needs 30.9 fantasy points against the Knicks on Sunday to be at value. He posted 64.5 fantasy points against New York on Feb. 14. Despite the Wizards slowing down in recent games, this is a very winnable game for them and a great matchup for Beal. He should push 40 fantasy points in this one. ****
CJ McCollum, POR at OKC ($7,200): After posting just 14.9 fantasy points against the Rockets, McCollum bounced back with 45.4 fantasy points against the Celtics on Friday. It’s possible that Damian Lillard misses Sunday as he’s expecting the birth of his child. Either way, expect a big game from McCollum. He had 53.6 fantasy points against the Thunder on Mar. 3 and 43.1 fantasy points against them on Jan. 9, which is a game Lillard missed with an injury. He should be over 30 fantasy points at the very least in this one. *****
