FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – February 27, 2019
High Salary SG
Players costing over $6,667
Bradley Beal (at BKN – $9,900): Needs 42.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 51.6 fantasy points against Indiana. You know what you’re getting from Beal. His salary continues to climb but it’s not high enough given what you’re typically getting out of Beal on most nights. And the Nets are a good matchup. He does everything for the Wizards and until he shows signs of slipping, you can continue to build around him with confidence. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
Jrue Holiday (at LAL – $9,200): Needs 39.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 47.5 fantasy points against Philadelphia. If Anthony Davis plays, I don’t like Holiday quite as much just because Davis seems to hold the team back at this point. But you know Holiday is out for blood against the Lakers and with the way the Lakers play defense, it’s easy for him to find a vein. He’s been reliable for most of the season and I love this matchup for him. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
D’Angelo Russell (vs WAS – $9,100): Needs 39.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46.4 fantasy points against San Antonio. It’s a great night at shooting guard. You can also go with someone like Luka Doncic, Donovan Mitchell, or Lou Williams in this spot if you’re looking to save money. But Russell has been putting up huge numbers and he has a great matchup against the Wizards. Russell has been great for the majority of this season and you can always bet against the Wizards. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
