FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – April 10, 2018
High Salary PF
Ben Simmons, PHI at ATL ($10,500): Simmons was one point under value against the Mavericks on Sunday, posting 49.9 fantasy points in 31 minutes. His salary has dropped to where he needs 46.5 fantasy points to reach value on Tuesday. He’s been over 50 fantasy points in both games against the Hawks this season, including a 50.9 fantasy point effort in 27 minutes against them on Mar. 30. He’ll put up big numbers for as long as he plays, but playing time doesn’t quite make him a lock. ****
Julius Randle, LAL vs HOU ($7,800): Randle has fallen off in recent games, missing value in a whopping seven straight contests. His salary is down to where he needs 34.6 fantasy points to reach value on Tuesday. He did have 55 fantasy points against the Rockets on Dec. 31, but his recent play doesn’t project much confidence. That said, he still plays solid minutes on most nights and his lower salary helps his cause. Proceed with caution. ***
John Collins, ATL vs PHI ($6,800): Collins continues to impress late in the season, going over value in five of his last six. 30.1 fantasy points put him at value on Tuesday. He had 32 fantasy points against the Sixers on Mar. 30. He’s getting 30-plus minutes a night right now and makes up his value in a variety of ways. The Hawks are giving him a big opportunity to impress heading into the season and he’s making the most of it. Expect him over value once again. ***
