Thing to Remember
-Always check for injuries prior to tip-off.
- I’m not picking all superstars, I try to mix it up with all types of values.
-This is not a lineup, just players I like to have productive nights.
-Daily FanDuel plays are up Monday through Friday.
-No picks on nights of only three games or less.
Damian Lillard - Lillard should have the ball a ton this season, and Steph Curry tore up the Pelicans on opening night. Yes, Lillard isn’t Curry but he should have no problem producing tonight.
Shane Larkin - Jarrett Jack is out tonight, so Larkin will get the start and at only $4500 I’ll take the risk. Hopefully Larkin takes advantage of those starter minutes.
Eric Gordon - Like I mentioned yesterday, the Pelicans have a ton of injuries and that means more touches and minutes for Gordon. He wasn’t great last night, but the opportunities are definitely there.
Danny Green - If you need some cap relief Green is not a bad choice for $4200. He easily can hit value.
Danilo Gallinari - Wilson Chandler is out tonight so plenty of minutes for Gallinari. He is also facing a high-tempo team, which always bodes well for fantasy.
Paul George - Paul George looked great in preseason and will look to continue that tonight. I’m expecting big thing from PG13 this season.
Anthony Davis - After a rough performance last night expect Davis to bounce back in a big way.
Ersan Ilyasova - Ilyasova showed me enough last night to take a chance on him tonight. Van Gundy seems willing to give him the minutes, the question is how consistent will he be.
Marcin Gortat - Gortat should be able to take advantage of Orlando’s lack of defensive presence in the paint.
