FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – April 8, 2019
High Value PG
Players costing $6,667 or under
Tyus Jones (vs TOR – $6,000): Needs 26.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.5 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. Jones continues to play very well for the Timberwolves, going over 30 fantasy points in three of his last four games. The Raptors can be a tough matchup but they are a team with nothing to play for and Jones remains in a great position given the injuries and circumstances. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
Jalen Brunson (vs PHO – $5,000): Needs 22.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.4 fantasy points against Memphis. With Doncic out of the lineup, Brunson will continue to get strong minutes for the Mavericks. And now he’s up against the Suns. I don’t know quite what to make of this game but I know that neither team has anything to play for and that the offense should be there for both teams. Brunson will get you value if nothing else but expect more. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
Trey Burke (vs PHO – $4,900): Needs 21.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.9 fantasy points against Memphis. And if you don’t want to go with Brunson, you can save some extra money and go with Burke. Or you can just pair the two and get value at worse with a good chance that one of them is going to hit in a big way given the matchup. And considering it’s the Suns, both of them will probably hit in a big way. This is a game to look out for when it comes to offense. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
