FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 13, 2019
High Salary C
Players costing over $6,667
Rudy Gobert (at PHO – $9,800): Needs 44 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 44.9 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. It’s the Suns. Again, they are better, but they are the Suns. The Jazz are a desperate bunch. Gobert should have no problem getting his points and rebounds in this one. He had 51.4 fantasy points against the Suns on Feb. 6 and should be in for another big night on Wednesday. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
Clint Capela (vs GS – $8,400): Needs 37.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 38 fantasy points against Charlotte. Capela is looking more like himself and there’s some war of words going on between the Warriors and Rockets right now. I don’t think these teams like each other. Capela is hit-and-miss against the Warriors on most nights but the Rockets are playing great right now and the Warriors are questionable. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
Jonas Valanciunas (at ATL – $7,700): Needs 34.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 40.1 fantasy points against Orlando. Whether the pace is up or down, Valanciunas will come into points and rebounds against the Hawks. He’s been playing fairly well for the Grizzlies because he does similar things to Gasol but really just gets out of the way and lets Conley take over. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
