If you are ever looking for an ideal evening to try out FanDuel, Tuesday is the one you want as its has a perfectly sized slate for learning the ins and outs of the game. Here's a look at your optimal lineup for Mar. 3.

PG - Ty Lawson - Denver Nuggets - $7,700

The Denver Nuggets stink and currently have no identity. It's been so bad in Denver that Ty Lawson's price has sunk to just $7,700. His stats haven't been the same since things began to unravel. On this six-game slate, use this to your advantage as he has a favorable matchup against a talented but inexperienced Milwaukee Bucks roster.

PG - Mo Williams - Charlotte Hornets - $6,600

Mo Williams filled in admirably for Ricky Rubio in Minnesota during the first half of the season and is doing more of the same for the Charlotte Hornets in relief of Kemba Walker. Against the Los Angeles Lakers, who are prime prey against PGs, Williams is a borderline must-play at just $6,600.

SG - J.R. Smith - Cleveland Cavaliers - $5,600

J.R. Smith continues to provide high-probability for five times value as he sees over 30 minutes per game and rarely fails to take 10 shots on the floor along with his fair share of free throws. The Cleveland Cavaliers are expected to win this contest against the Boston Celtics without much of a hassle, but it's expected to be high scoring (205 O/U) if nothing else.

Similarly to the aforementioned Smith, Avery Bradley sees a guaranteed 30 minutes per game. Somehow, someway, he in fact takes even more shots than Smith. In two of his last seven games, Bradley took an outrageous 20-plus shots. You shouldn't worry about how Bradley's poor field-goal percentage makes his head coach feel mentally and instead fire him up as a solid value play.

SF - Corey Brewer - Houston Rockets - $4,200

With James Harden serving a one-game suspension for judo kicking LeBron James in the groin, the Houston Rockets need to make up an alarming number of points on the floor. Brewer will be just one of the many players asked to step up in Harden's absence.

SF - Trevor Ariza - Houston Rockets - $5,800

Trevor Ariza will bear the brunt of the responsibility of scoring from the wing with Harden out. He will log heavy minutes, which makes a 40-point upside feasible in this one.

PF - Pau Gasol - Chicago Bulls - $9,500

Pau Gasol's presence in Chicago this season has become absolutely pivotal as the Bulls have now lost Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler long-term. Although Nikola Mirotic will also step up in Taj Gibson's absence in the frontcourt, opt to pay for Gasol in what should be a competitive matchup against Nene and the Washington Wizards.

PF - Terrence Jones - Houston Rockets - $6,500

Terrence Jones' price rarely exceeds $7,000, yet he carries 45 fantasy point upside. With Harden out, Jones will have every opportunity to succeed against Paul Millsap, who is a middle-of-the-road defender.

Big Al Jefferson is the anchor of the Charlotte Hornets as the franchise is without facilitator Kemba Walker. More often than not, Jefferson is going to give you 15 points along with 10 rebounds, which is a solid floor for a center priced at $8,200. However, in ideal matchups like the one he has against the Los Angeles Lakers' feeble frontcourt, he could easily push closer to a 25-point double-double.
