FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – November 2, 2018
High Salary PF
Players costing over $6,667
Draymond Green (vs MIN – $8,000): Needs 34.5 fantasy points. Green is starting to look more like himself after a slow start to the season, which is bad news for the rest of the league. He’s been over 45 fantasy points in two of the last three games. He’ll be tasked with making Towns’ life miserable and he’s good enough to do it. Diagnosis: Does a bit of everything, but isn’t always reliable in one category. But the matchup is good and you know Green is going to get numbers, even if you don’t know where they will come from.
Tobias Harris (at ORL – $7,700): Needs 33.2 fantasy points. Much like his teammate Gallinari, Harris has been a fairly consistent option this season. He’s coming off a 40.1 fantasy point performance against the Sixers on Thursday. He and Gallinari are the top options in Los Angeles and they’ll continue to produce, especially against the Magic. Diagnosis: Reliable option with a good matchup despite the back-to-back.
Wendell Carter Jr (vs IND – $7,200): Needs 31.1 fantasy points. Carter Jr is coming off his best DFS game as a rookie, producing 59.1 fantasy points against the Nuggets. He’s grown more comfortable as a scorer, which is a good sign for his overall value and is reliable in the rebounding department. If the defense is there, another big game could be on the books. Diagnosis: I always have a tough time trusting rookies, but I like Carter Jr’.s game and the Bulls don’t have a lot of great frontcourt options if Jabari Parker isn’t producing.
