Daily fantasy basketball strategy
Jordan Clarkson, PG, Lakers at Suns. Averaging 19 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1.5 steals in the past 2 games.
James Harden, SG, Rockets vs. Celtics. Clearly has the highest the ceiling at the position. Like him more in GPPs because the cheaper players are better choices in cash games.
Paul George, SF, Packers at Bulls. Best player at the position is averaging 29.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists over the past six games. Will be in all of my lineups on FD.
Jon Leuer, Suns vs. Lakers. Will likely start for the Suns if Markieff Morris is out, which would make him a superb value play.
Dwight Howard, Rockets vs. Celtics. The Celtics have no one that can contain him. Just make sure he plays.
