FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – April 3, 2018
High Value PF
Marcus Morris, BOS at MIL ($5,900): Morris has come off the bench in his last two games, but it hasn’t slowed him down. He had 45.3 fantasy points against the Raptors on Saturday. The Bucks are 21st against the position in their last 15 games. Coming off the bench might suit Morris a bit more as it allows him to take advantage of weaker second-unit players. He’s a a guy who can score from everywhere while contributing with rebounds. ***
Lauri Markkanen, CHI vs CHA ($5,200): The Hornets are 27th against the position in their last 15 games. Markkanen has looked good in his returned from the latest injury, going over value in his last three games. He plays a big role in the Chicago offense as the Bulls look to build around him for the foreseeable future. He’s averaging 32.1 fantasy points in three games against Charlotte this season and should push 30 fantasy points in this one. ***
Marquese Chriss, PHO vs SAC ($5,200): Chriss continues to impress as the starter in Phoenix. He’s played over 30 minutes in his last three games, going over 35 fantasy points in each contest. He needs 23 fantasy points to hit value against the Kings. As long as he’s starting, keep taking him. The salary is low, the matchup is good, and Chriss has played so well recently that there is no reason to doubt him as the starter in Phoenix. ****
