FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – November 5, 2018
High Value PF
Players costing $6,667 or under
Montrezl Harrell (vs MIN – $5,700): Needs 24 fantasy points. Harrell had 34.9 fantasy points against the Magic on Nov. 2. He’s inconsistent, but he can put up good scoring and rebounding numbers when he’s on his game. And the Timberwolves would seem to be a good matchup with the way they’ve played and being on a back-to-back. Diagnosis: Inconsistent with a good matchup and relatively high ceiling.
Pascal Siakam (at UTA – $5,500): Needs 23.1 fantasy points. Siakam has been great this season and is coming off a 37.1 fantasy point performance against the Lakers. Serge Ibaka has also been great, but he’s at a higher salary. You can’t seem to go wrong with either option right now. I prefer Siakam just due to the salary. He’ll have a good scoring and rebounding game while chipping in with a couple of assists. Diagnosis: Playing great and gets big minutes.
Marcus Morris (at DEN – $5,400): Needs 22.7 fantasy points. Morris has been great in the last five games, averaging 30.5 fantasy points during this stretch. He’s getting his points while boosting his value with rebounds. Shots are never lacking for Morris and with the way he’s shooting, there’s no reason to doubt him. Diagnosis: Keep taking him while he’s hot and at a good salary.
