FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – November 2, 2018
High Salary PG
Players costing over $6,667
Russell Westbrook (at WAS – $11,700): Needs 48.9 fantasy points. Westbrook had 59.6 fantasy points against the Hornets on Thursday. Points and assists typically are not a problem for Westbrook. His rebounding numbers are slightly down, but he’s good for a handful of those a game. The Wizards are a mess and if the Thunder are a good team, Westbrook takes advantage of the Wizards mass confusion. Diagnosis: Never a bad thing to build around Westbrook. He delivers more often than now.
Steph Curry (vs MIN – $10,700): Needs 44.8 fantasy points. Curry has been over 50 fantasy points in his last two games. The Timberwolves still don’t play any defense and Curry is looking like Unanimous MVP Curry right now. It doesn’t matter who is guarding him, he’s going to produce a huge game. Diagnosis: Great matchup given the Warriors offense and Timberwolves defense.
Kyle Lowry (at PHO – $8,900): Needs 37.2 fantasy points. Lowry has been steady all season and there’s a lot to love about this matchup. It is Phoenix, after all. The Suns have looked abysmal in recent games and not having Devin Booker obviously hurts. Meanwhile, the Raptors remain a top team in the East. The only concern is this one being a blowout. Diagnosis: Will deliver for as long as he plays. May not play quite enough to have that huge game.
