FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – Nov. 10, 2018
High Salary SF
Players costing over $6,667
Kevin Durant (vs BKN – $11,200): Needs 45.7 fantasy points. Durant was down to 33.5 fantasy points against the Bucks on Nov. 8. He had to deal with Giannis and just had an off-night for the Warriors. With no Curry and facing a Nets team on a back-to-back, Durant should be much better. He played great when Curry was out of the lineup last season and I expect nothing less from him on Saturday. Diagnosis: Needs a big game and will have a big game given the matchup and circumstances.
Kawhi Leonard (vs NY – $9,900): Needs 40.4 fantasy points. Leonard was down to 36.2 fantasy points against the Kings on Nov. 7. He’s been great all season, so I’ll chalk it up to an off-night where he turned the ball over too much and move on. He’ll be better against the Knicks because who isn’t better against the Knicks. The only concern is this one turns into a blowout and he doesn’t get quite enough points to be a big option. Diagnosis: Be wary of a blowout. But he’ll put up numbers for as long as he pplays.
Josh Richardson (vs WAS – $7,700): Needs 31.4 fantasy points. He was down against the Pacers, coming in at 27 fantasy points. But you’re going to read a lot about Miami today because they are playing the Wizards. Everyone is having a field day against Washington and I expect nothing less from Miami. Richardson is the best player on the floor for Miami (and maybe on both sides) and can do a bit of everything. Diagnosis: Expect him to bounce back against the Wizards because … Wizards.
