Matt Barnes: A Solid Last Minute Pickup

Here’s some last minute advice to you daily fantasy players out there.  This one’s not gonna give you a 40 point guy, but it’ll help on a 3 game night in the association where every point matters.
If you’ve got PJ Tucker running tonight DROP HIM NOW.  Swap him out in favor of his matchup tonight: Matt Barnes, of the Clippers.
These two players have met 12 times throughout their careers, dating back to 2006, and over that 9-year history of playing each other not one single time has Tucker outplayed Barnes.
While the majority of their numbers are pretty similar, Barnes averages 5 more ppg in their match ups, and his teams have won 9 of the 12 games.  While the lack of options in the front court tonight may very well have you playing both these guys, if you have to choose one or the other (and in Draft Kings they’re the same price) choose Barnes.
Also, drop Marcus Morris if you’re playing him.  He’s a last minute scratch in tonight’s lineup.
