FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 29, 2018
High Salary C
Andre Drummond, DET vs WAS ($9,400): The Wizards are third against the position in their last 15 games, but few teams have an answer for Drummond when he is on his game. The problem is, he’s not on his game as often as he should be. He’s hit value in 57 percent of games this season, which isn’t great given that he’s a high salary guy who you should be able to depend on. His ceiling is high, but the matchup isn’t great and you never know what you’re going to get with Drummond. ***
Steven Adams, OKC at SA ($6,900): Adams has been over value in four of his last five and is coming off a 35.5 fantasy point performance against the Trail Blazers on Sunday. Aside from Russell Westbrook, he’s the only Thunder starter pulling his weight right now. He had 10.2 fantasy points against the Spurs on Mar. 10, but played only 18 minutes due to an ankle injury. If LaMarcus Aldridge doesn’t play, that means good things for Adams’ value. Expect him over 30 fantasy points. ****
Myles Turner, IND at SAC ($6,600): Turner is under the average player salary, but he’s your next highest option, assuming Hassan Whiteside doesn’t play. It’s been a rough stretch for Turner, who has missed value in three straight and been under 17 fantasy points in two of those games. The matchup is good, but Turner is just untrustworthy right now. **
