FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – January 25, 2019
High Value SF
Players costing $6,667 or under
Kelly Oubre Jr. (at DEN – $6,000): Needs 25.1 fantasy points. Oubre continues to play great. He had 48.7 fantasy points against the Blazers on Thursday. The Suns are not a good team but with injuries, Oubre will continue to get big minutes. And he’s playing very well in those minutes. The matchup is tough but you can keep taking him at this salary given the circumstances. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
Will Barton (vs PHO – $5,100): Needs 21.3 fantasy points. Barton was up to 43.3 fantasy points against the Jazz on Jan. 23. He looked healthy in that game and maybe he’s played himself back into form. Playing the Suns on a back-to-back should certainly help his cause on Friday. He’s at a good salary if he’s going to keep playing around 30 minutes a night. Diagnosis: A slight risk but a very high ceiling.
Joe Harris (vs NY – $5,000): Needs 20.9 fantasy points. Harris has been good for the Nets for most of this season and with Dinwiddie out he should have more opportunities on offense. And it’s the Knicks. Harris should get his points in this one while chipping in in other areas. I love him in this game and at this salary. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
