FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – February 12, 2019
High Salary SF
Players costing over $6,667
Kevin Durant (vs UTA – $9,900): Needs 42.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 52.2 fantasy points against Miami. You typically know what you’re getting from Durant. He plays a reliable game and he has the ability to go off if the scoring numbers are there. But as mentioned earlier, I’m expecting this to be more of a Steph night than a Durant night. Which means it’ll probably be a Durant night. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
Kenrich Williams (vs ORL – $6,400): Needs 27.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 39.1 fantasy points against Memphis. It’s a weak night at small forward as Williams is the next highest salary option. Obviously, this changes if LeBron plays. And if LeBron plays, you can take him with confidence because he’s LeBron and he’s the best player in the league for a reason. Back to Williams, he continues to play great for the Pelicans and he’s showing them a lot right now. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
Jonathan Isaac (at NO – $6,400): Needs 27.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41.6 fantasy points against Atlanta. Another guy who continues to get it done is Isaac. He’s getting points and chipping in with defense, which isn’t always there. But the opportunities will be plenty against the Pelicans. Until I see signs of him slipping, I’ll continue to take him based on the minutes he’s playing and the production he’s been putting out. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
