FanDuel Picks Tonight NBA

Karl-Anthony Towns Fantasy

Target Karl-Anthony Towns, C, Minnesota Timberwolves ($10,000): Dominant big man Karl-Anthony Towns gets a mouth-watering matchup against the Houston Rockets on Friday. Towns has put up 50-plus FanDuel fantasy points in three of his last five games, averaging a whopping 29.8 points per game while adding 8.0 rebounds and 4.6 assists per contest. Clearly in a scoring groove and shooting 47.5% from deep in that span, he gets to face the Rockets, who are allowing the eighth-most PPG (113.6) and most RPG (57.8) to opponents. KAT could feast tonight.

CJ McCollum Fantasy

Target CJ McCollum, SG, Portland Trail Blazers ($7,500): CJ McCollum is still rounding back into his All-Star form after missing extended time due to a foot fracture, but he's already getting back into the swing of things. The Portland Trail Blazers guard has two performances with 40-plus fantasy points in his last four games, with the most recent being Thursday night, when he totaled 47.2 points against the Miami Heat. It was a standout showing for McCollum, who shot over 50% from the field while registering 35 points and 8 assists. With most of his damage coming in the first half, there's little worry about fatigue on the second night of a back-to-back, and he has a prime opportunity to thrash an Orlando Magic team that's left barren after the NBA Trade Deadline.

Dennis Schroder Fantasy

Target Dennis Schroder, PG, Los Angeles Lakers ($7,200): Dennis Schroder is picking up the slack for the Los Angeles Lakers with LeBron James and Anthony Davis sidelined. Schroder has upped his PPG (19.0) and APG (6.4) over the last five games while adding 1.6 steals per contest as well. His fantasy point average in that span (34.8) outpaces his season average (27.8), showcasing his current uptick in production. Schroder's solid run as a scorer and distributor should continue against the lowly Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.

Kristaps Porzingis Fantasy

Avoid Kristaps Porzingis, PF, Dallas Mavericks ($7,500): Kristaps Porzingis had a bounce-back game on Wednesday with 29 points and 9 rebounds, but that came against a terrible Timberwolves defense he took advantage of. In his last three games prior to that, Porzingis was averaging just 11.7 PPG, making him hard to justify as a fantasy option. Now he heads into a matchup against the Indiana Pacers, who boast Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner in their froncourt. The problems both big men pose hurts Porzingis' outlook tonight.

Jonas Valanciunas Fantasy

Avoid Jonas Valanciunas, C, Memphis Grizzlies ($7,800): Jonas Valanciunas is another big heading into a less-than-favorable matchup on Friday. The Memphis Grizzlies center relies on his RPG (12.4) to be fantasy relevant, as his scoring (15.9 PPG) can falter against better competition. Squaring off against the Utah Jazz tonight, Valanciunas will face a defense headlined by Rudy Gobert that's strangling opposing defenses (108.0 PPG) and allowing the sixth-fewest RPG (50.1) this season. With Gobert making matters difficult, it's hard to bank on Valanciunas' usual production.
