FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – April 29, 2018
High Salary SF
LeBron James ($12,500): If the Cavaliers lose this game, it won’t be due to the effort of James. Given how everyone else on the team besides him has played in this series, something crazy like 150 fantasy points is not out of the question. Okay, maybe that’s out of the question. But 70-plus fantasy points would not be surprising. *****
High Value SF
Joe Ingles ($6,500): The Jazz will need Ingles to step up with Rubio out of the lineup. But the Rockets won’t let him get as free as the Thunder did he did struggle in the Feb. 26 meeting between these two teams. He’s a slight risk at this salary due to the uncertainty on the Jazz offense without Rubio. **
Trevor Ariza ($4,800): Ariza remains my favorite Rockets role player due to the chances he gets in the starting lineup. He looked good in the last two games of the first round and he’s never lacking for shots in the Rockets offense. ***
Lance Stephenson ($4,200): Stephenson hasn’t been good in Cleveland in this series, but I know he’ll show up and produce in this moment. There’s nothing he wants more than to finally get the best of LeBron in the playoffs. There’s always a risk with Lance, but he’s good value at this salary due to his minutes and role. ***
