*Denotes SN FanDuel lineup pick
Daily fantasy basketball strategy
Damian Lillard, PG, Trail Blazers. Best bang for your buck at the position. Has produced at least 40 fantasy points on DK in all but one game this season. Denver is not a good defensive team.
Monta Ellis, SG, Pacers. Starting to feel the flow in the offense. Like him more if Rodney Stuckey and/or C.J. Miles don't play.
JaMychal Green, PF, Grizzlies. Super risky option, but could end up playing a lot of minutes if Zach Randolph and Brandan Wright are out.
Paul George, SF, Pacers. Will be in all of my lineups. P.G. is averaging 31.3 points, 11 rebounds, and four assists in the previous three games. Also, the Magic get destroyed by opposing SFs.
Andre Drummond, C, Pistons. The Warriors are a great defensive team, but "Bang on your Drummond all day" is averaging a ludicrous 20.3 points, 20.3 rebounds, and 1.8 steals/blocks per game this season.
