FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – April 10, 2018
High Value PF
Ersan Ilyasova, PHI at ATL ($6,100): Ilyasova has moved back to the bench with Dario Saric back in the lineup, but he’s still playing around 25 minutes, if not more, as the Sixers are being careful with Saric. Even coming off the bench, he’s delivering for the Sixers right now. He had 47.2 fantasy points against the Hawks just over a week ago. He’ll get his minutes and he’ll get his numbers. Philadelphia having something to play for helps their cause on Tuesday. ****
Derrick Favors, UTA vs GS ($6,000): Favors has been over value in four of his last five. His salary has gone up a bit and he needs 26.6 to be at value against the Warriors. He’s averaging 31.4 fantasy points in three games against Golden State this season. You may like Jae Crowder a bit more as he’s on a lower salary and still plays big minutes off the bench, but Favors has been more consistent in recent games. Either way, grab a Utah power forward as they’ll both play significant minutes and find ways to contribute. ***
Dragan Bender, PHO at DAL ($4,300): Bender has been over value in four straight and is coming off a 32.8 fantasy point performance against the Warriors on Sunday. With the Suns banged up, Bender is getting more of an opportunity to contribute late in the season. If Josh Jackson and Marquese Chriss don’t play once again, Bender’s value goes up a bit. But if they play, he’s not quite as attractive. The matchup is still good enough to where he should be over 20 fantasy points. ***
