FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 10, 2019
High Salary PG
Players costing over $6,667
Mike Conley (vs ORL – $8,400): Needs 36.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 51.1 fantasy points against Utah. Conley continues to play hard and he’s actually surrounded by guys who can allow him to handle his work. By that I mean bigs who are going to set hard screens and roll hard. The Magic play with some pace and they also play down to their competition, which should keep this game competitive. Conley is just rolling right now. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
Trae Young (vs NO – $8,300): Needs 35.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 52.5 fantasy points against Brooklyn. I love this game from a DFS perspective because the points are going to be high. Neither team plays much in the way of defense. And with Jrue Holiday not playing, Young should have more room to do his work. The Hawks are on a back-to-back but the matchup is too good for Young not to deliver. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
Jeff Teague (vs NY – $6,900): Needs 29.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 22.2 fantasy points against Washington. It’ a back-to-back for both squads but it’s also the Knicks and Timberwolves. Neither team plays defense and on a back-to-back, they are less likely to play defense. Teague is the leader of the perimeter offense and should have no issue cutting up the Knicks. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
