FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – November 4, 2018 (Main)
High Salary SG
Players costing over $6,667
DeMar DeRozan (vs ORL – $9,900): Needs 41.2 fantasy points. DeRozan was down to 33.6 fantasy points against the Pelicans on Saturday. His scoring was there, but his assist numbers were down. I wouldn’t be concerned because he’s been a proven play this season with his scoring and his passing. Expect his assist numbers to climb back up and he’ll continue to put up points. Diagnosis: Been a strong play all season and has a great matchup.
Devin Booker (vs MEM – $7,900): Needs 32.9 fantasy points. The matchup is a tough one as the Grizzlies have one of the top defenses in the league when they are healthy and playing hard. And right now, they are healthy and playing hard. But Booker has a high ceiling and continues to do more in Phoenix with his scoring and passing. He has a high usage rate and at worst should be at value. Diagnosis: Reliable despite the tough matchup and a very high ceiling if he gets hot.
CJ McCollum (vs MIN – $6,800): Needs 28.3 fantasy points. McCollum has been a bit down this season, but he had 39 fantasy points against the Lakers on Saturday. Hopefully it was the start of him turning it around with his shooting because he and Lillard make for a dynamic pair when they are both lighting it up. He’ll get a great chance to build on Saturday’s performance with a game against Minnesota. Diagnosis: He’ll get buckets and is on a nice salary given the matchup.
