Building the Perfect NBA DraftKings Lineup For Feb. 4

Looking to build the perfect NBA DraftKings for Feb.4? Let me be of some assistance.

PG - Stephen Curry - Golden State Warriors - $10,300

Throw out the fantasy record books when the Dallas Mavericks and Golden State Warriors get together and fire up as many of their players as feasibly fit into your lineup. It will simply be fantasy gold inducing. Stephen Curry's presence on a slate like this needs no further explanation.

SG - Monta Ellis - Dallas Mavericks - $7,700

Until Dallas Mavericks PG Rajon Rondo returns, Monta Ellis should be an absolute must play as their offense runs through his hands in Rondo's absence. He scores with ease and can also drop 10 dimes when facilitating without breaking a sweat.

SF - Chandler Parsons - Dallas Mavericks - $5,700

At $5,700 and averaging 27.8 fantasy points per game, Chandler Parsons simply projects as one of the top 'bang for your buck' plays on this slate, especially considering he is a SF. He should hit 30 FP easy, yet carries 40 upside in wild games, which this undoubtedly will end up as.

PF - Tarik Black - Los Angeles Lakers - $3,000

Tarik Black will start for the Los Angeles Lakers with Jordan Hill now expected to miss some time. Earlier this season with the Houston Rockets, Black did an admirable job filling in for Dwight Howard and Terrence Jones, but was let go and scooped up by Los Angeles upon Houston's Josh Smith signing. If given 25 minutes as anticipated, it's nearly impossible for him not to crush 5x value (15 FP) with something closer to 25.

C - Mason Plumlee - Brooklyn Nets - $5,500

Mason Plumlee is coming off of a down performance and decreased minutes his last time out, which actually gives him some added appeal to me as many will look to fade the Brooklyn Nets PF/C. Against the Toronto Raptors, who rank 22nd against opposing centers, Plumlee's 23.5 FPPG average is a solid floor to expect, and he undoubtedly carries 30-35 upside.

G - Klay Thompson - Golden State Warriors - $8,500

Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry could easily combine for more than 80 fantasy points in this crazy game, so having them paired in this lineup seemed like an easy decision. Regardless of who he sees defending him, even if it's not the defensively challenged Monta Ellis, they have little-to-no chance of slowing him down.

F - John Henson - Milwaukee Bucks - $5,000

John Henson is just a meat-and-potatoes kind of cash game option, as he has accumulated 20 fantasy points minimum in five of his last six games, and can even do so when he only sees 15 minutes of play. However, Henson's been seeing closer to 30 minutes a night lately, making it nearly impossible for him to disappoint at just $5,000.

Util - Jerryd Bayless - Milwaukee Bucks - $4,300

Picking on the Los Angeles Lakers'PGs in fantasy basketball is an ideal strategy, this is incontrovertible. So, you might be wondering why Brandon Knight is not in this spot. Well, as I write this, he's listed as questionable. Also, Jerryd Bayless has become a sneaky fantasy option as of late, as he's seen 20 minutes or more in seven straight games, and for the most part accumulates between 20-30 FP when doing so. If he starts, icing on the cake.
