FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – November 30, 2018
High Value SF
Players costing $6,667 or under
Harrison Barnes (at LAL – $6,000): Needs 24.6 fantasy points. Barnes was down to 17.1 fantasy points against the Rockets on Nov. 28. He’s been fairly reliable this season, but the return of Wesley Matthews cuts into his value a bit. The good news is that the Lakers are on a back-to-back and Barnes still gets the minutes and opportunities to produce. Expect a bounce-back performance on Friday. Diagnosis: I’ll trust Barnes in this matchup. His scoring should be there in this one.
Kyle Anderson (at BKN – $5,800): Needs 23.7 fantasy points. Anderson had 22.5 fantasy points against the Raptors, but that wasn’t a great matchup. His salary has lowered, making him easier to fit into your lineup. He’s not a big-time numbers guy, but he does enough in all categories to at least provide value. The matchup is a good one as it’s the Nets. And Anderson has turned into a reliable option with a good ceiling. Diagnosis: I like his all-around game and the matchup. But his ceiling might not be enough for you.
Cedi Osman (at BOS – $5,200): Needs 21.3 fantasy points. Osman has been a bit all over the place this season, but he’s flashed a high ceiling and he gets plenty of minutes to produce. The Cavaliers need any kind of scoring they can get and Cedi not only gets points but he chips in with rebounds and assists. He’s another player with a well-rounded game, although his ceiling is higher than Anderson’s. The matchup isn’t quite as good. Diagnosis: Good ceiling and reliable at this salary.
