FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – April 10, 2019
High Salary PG
Players costing over $6,667
Russell Westbrook (at MIL – $12,100): Needs 53.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 55.4 fantasy points against Houston. The Thunder still have something to play for as they want the sixth seed, which means Westbrook is going to go after his numbers. And the Bucks are playing very few NBA players in this game, which means it’ll be more competitive than any Thunder fan would like. Westbrook will post big numbers. And he’s a rare high salary guy who should get minutes. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
Kemba Walker (vs ORL – $9,800): Needs 43.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.1 fantasy points against Cleveland. The Hornets need a win and some help. So they are going to try and win. And they go up against the Magic, a team with nothing to play for. Kemba will get his minutes and he’ll be the driving force behind doing his best to give the Hornets a win and push them into the playoffs. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
Trae Young (vs IND – $9,000): Needs 40 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46.4 fantasy points against Orlando. The Hawks have nothing to play for but Young probably wants to make one last statement on the Rookie of the Year race. He missed the last game so that probably works in his favor as well. I’m expecting a big night out of Young in this game given the. circumstances. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
