FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 9, 2019
High Salary SG
Players costing over $6,667
Bradley Beal (at MIN – $10,600): Needs 45.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 45.3 fantasy points against Charlotte. You just know what you’re getting from Beal on most nights. It’s a back-to-back, which makes it tougher, but I’m not that concerned about it. Beal delivers nearly every night and he should do the same in this game given the opponent. Until he shows full signs of slipping in any way, you can build around him with confidence. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
D’Angelo Russell (at ATL – $9,100): Needs 38.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41.3 fantasy points against Cleveland. Russell has started to look more like himself in the last two games and now he gets a great matchup against the Hawks. We know what Russell is capable of and this has all the making of being a big game for him given his ability to score and put up assists. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
CJ McCollum (vs PHO – $8,000): Needs 34.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 36 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. McCollum broke his trend against the Thunder, which is a good sign for his value heading into this game against the Suns. It’s the Suns and the Blazers are in no position to screw around. That means they come out strong and McCollum puts up good numbers to at least get you value. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
