FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – February 5, 2019
High Value SG
Players costing $6,667 or under
Dennis Schroder (vs ORL – $5,300): Needs 22.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.7 fantasy points against Boston. Schroder continues to get it done for the Thunder. He had 33.6 fantasy points against the Magic on Jan. 29. Minutes and opportunities are rarely an issue for him and the Magic are a good matchup since they aren’t exactly a great team. And the Thunder should come out hot after blowing one in Boston. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
Jaylen Brown (at CLE – $5,100): Needs 22 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 16.4 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. Brown was down against the Thunder but I’m not too concerned. Especially with Kyrie out of the lineup. He has found a good rhythm in the last few games and his minutes should be up in this game with Kyrie out and the possibility of a blowout. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
Reggie Bullock (at NY – $4,700): Needs 20.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 26.8 fantasy points against Denver. Bullock has played well in the last two games and even though it’s a back-to-back for the Pistons, it’s the Knicks. And even though I don’t like the Pistons overall and don’t trust them. It’s the Knicks. Bullock gets the minutes and opportunities to deliver at this salary. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
