FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 24, 2019
High Salary PF
Players costing over $6,667
LaMarcus Aldridge (at BOS – $8,700): Needs 37.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34.8 fantasy points against Houston. Aldridge has failed to hit 35 fantasy points in four of his last five but I like this matchup for him as the Celtics are a mess right now and are on a back-to-back. And Aldridge had 57.3 fantasy points against them on Dec. 31. The Celtics will likely be without Al Horford, which will make Aldridge’s life easier. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
Anthony Davis (vs HOU – $7,800): Needs 33.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 37.7 fantasy points against Dallas. You can rule out a big game for Davis at this point of the season. But even in 21-22 minutes, he’s still doing enough to be slightly over valued. And there’s something to be said about being a reliable player, especially on a night with so many back-to-back games and teams not really caring due to the playoffs being decided. Randle has the higher ceiling if you want to spend more. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a decent ceiling.
Marvin Bagley III (at LAL – $7,500): Needs 32.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34.7 fantasy points against Phoenix. Until MB3 shows that he can’t be trusted, you can continue to trust him. He’s putting up big scoring and rebounding games and getting plenty of minutes. I love this matchup because I’m always going to love any matchup against the Lakers right now. The Lakers are a mess and the Kings will continue to fight until they are officially eliminated from the playoffs. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
