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.
Steph Curry - You know Curry is coming to play tonight. Here’s one reason why and here’s another.
Rajon Rondo - This pick is a little risky, but I think Rondo has a better game tonight against the Lakers. Example: Ricky Rubio. Rondo didn't improve his shooting like Rubio, but no reason he can’t rack up assist like him.
C.J. McCollum - McCollum came to play opening night for the Blazers, dropping 37 points and 47 fantasy points. I don’t expect the same output tonight but I definitely could see 30+ fantasy points.
Rodney Hood - Hood got the start opening night and produced 24 fantasy points on 29 minutes of action. Not bad for only $4300, and considering he didn’t shoot well there is plenty of upside.
Kawhi Leonard - Kawhi showcased his talent against OKC, playing great defense and dropping 32 points. I would expect the same or more from him against Brooklyn.
Danilo Gallinari - Wilson Chandler is out again and Gallinari looks like he will be a main cog on this team all season.
Julius Randle - I liked what I saw from Randle on Wednesday night and expect a similar performance from him tonight. Plus, he’s only $4700, not a bad price at all.
Derrick Favors - Favors is a big body and I don’t see anyone able to deal with his size in Philadelphia.
Festus Ezeli - Ezeli will get the start tonight with Andrew Bogut out, and at only $3500 Ezeli should be a steal.
