FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – January 30, 2019
High Value PF
Players costing $6,667 or under
Marvin Bagley III (vs ATL – $6,200): Needs 26.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 27 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Bagley’s minutes have been down in recent contests and that’s concerning. He’s been delivering even in the limited minutes but this salary is a tad high if he’s only playing 20 minutes. I expect his minutes to be up and for him to deliver in this matchup. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
Marcus Morris (vs CHA – $5,500): Needs 23.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34.1 fantasy points against Brooklyn. Morris typically plays a reliable game, especially at home. And it’s against the Hornets. And Kyrie might be out. The value of every Celtic goes up with Kyrie out and Morris is a guy who will always take his shots plus chip in with rebounds. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
Derrick Favors (at POR – $5,400): Needs 23.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.7 fantasy points against Minnesota. Favors had 32.8 fantasy points against the Blazers on Jan. 21. His minutes are a bit limited but he makes them count with his scoring and rebounding. And he’s at a good salary based on his usual production. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
