FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – January 19, 2019
High Value SG
Players costing $6,667 or under
Malcolm Brogdon (at ORL – $5,900): Needs 25.2 fantasy points. Brogdon has been down in recent contests but the Bucks are just too good for their own good. Brogdon’s salary has lowered, which certainly helps in this game. And I think the Magic will be able to keep this game relatively competitive, which would certainly help Brogdon’s value in this game. He’s not going to hurt you as he’s always good for numbers. Diagnosis: Better if the game is competitive but still fairly reliable.
Kevin Huerter (vs BOS – $5,500): Needs 23.5 fantasy points. Huerter has been solid since moving to the starting lineup and he’s shown a good ceiling. Even if Young plays, the shots and opportunities are there for him. But if Young doesn’t play, Huerter will be called upon to do a bit more. And I trust him to pick up his game, even as a rookie. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.
Reggie Bullock (vs SAC – $4,900): Needs 21 fantasy points. Bullock continues to play a reliable game for the Pistons. The minutes and shots are always there for him and they’ll continue to be there for him in this game due the Kings typically pace. He’s at a good salary and if nothing else, even in the back-to-back, he’ll be good enough to get you value in this one. Diagnosis: Reliable with a decent ceiling.
