FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 11, 2019
High Salary PF
Players costing over $6,667
Kevin Love (vs TOR – $8,600): Needs 37.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.3 fantasy points against Miami. Love was down against the Heat but I’m not concerned. And the Raptors are a tough matchup but I’m still not concerned. Love is the best player on the Cavaliers and someone has to get those numbers for him. And the Raptors are on a back-to-back, so maybe that helps out the Cavaliers? This is more about Love than the Raptors. He’ll get his numbers. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
Blake Griffin (at BKN – $8,300): Needs 36.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 44.7 fantasy points against Chicago. Blake found his form against the Bulls because who doesn’t find their form against the Bulls. The Nets are a good matchup as well and the offense should be up in this one. Griffin is always good for numbers, even if he comes up a bit short. But I expect him to be at value and then some in this one given the matchup. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
Pascal Siakam (at CLE – $7,700): Needs 33.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 38.5 fantasy points against Miami. But perhaps my favorite play at power forward is the always reliable Siakam. While Griffin and Love may have higher ceilings and while I do consider them very reliable, Siakam is even more reliable given the matchup. His ceiling is more limited because this could be a blowout. But Siakam will get his numbers even in limited minutes. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
