FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – November 2, 2018
High Salary SG
Players costing over $6,667
Zach LaVine (vs IND – $8,300): Needs 34.3 fantasy points. LaVine keeps playing well and is coming off 48.5 fantasy points against the Nuggets. Scoring has not been an issue for him and when he’s chipping in with assists, that only boosts his value. The Pacers defense is inconsistent and LaVine has been strong all season. Diagnosis: Reliable, good matchup, high ceiling. He’ll get buckets.
Luka Doncic (vs NY – $8,100): Needs 33.5 fantasy points. Doncic didn’t even play well until the final quarter against the Lakers and still finished with 31.5 fantasy points. Expect him to bounce back with another good matchup in front of him. The New York lights can either scare players or have them thriving. I expect Doncic to thrive. Diagnosis: Turning into a consistent option with a high ceiling. The matchup helps.
Caris LeVert (vs HOU – $7,100): Needs 29.4 fantasy points. Once again, I’m all over this matchup. The Rockets just don’t do anything well defensively. LeVert has been the best player on the Nets this season and does a little bit of everything with DFS numbers. He’ll get buckets and carve up the Rockets defense with his passing. Diagnosis: Great matchup on a relatively low salary. He’ll produce.
