Here’s how to build the perfect NBA FanDuel lineup for the main slate on Feb. 6.
PG - Stephen Curry - Golden State Warriors - $10,800
Getty ImagesTonight's Russell Westbrook vs. Stephen Curry matchup projects to be a scorefest. Neither point guard is a particularly solid defender, so they should beat up on each other something fierce.
PG - Russell Westbrook - Oklahoma City Thunder - $11,000
Getty ImagesAs mentioned, Russell Westbrook has an ideal matchup against Stephen Curry this evening. The Oklahoma City Thunder have a ton to prove in this game, as they are tired of being overlooked in the Western Conference due to Golden State's remarkable campaign.
SG - Devin Booker - Phoenix Suns - $5,400
Getty ImagesDevin Booker has played between 37-41 minutes in each of his last three games, and has hit a minimum of 20 fantasy points over his last eight. For his price, Booker is impossible to ignore.
SG - Zach LaVine - Minnesota Timberwolves - $4,800
Getty ImagesZach LaVine is logging solid tick of late for Minnesota, as he's played between 25-34 minutes in six consecutive games, and hasn't scored under 14 points in said time frame. With Jimmy Butler out this evening, the Chicago Bulls are going to be incredibly vulnerable on defense on the wing and in the backcourt, where LaVine gets all his playing time. For his price, roll the dice on LaVine expecting to get your money's worth.
SF - Stanley Johnson - Detroit Pistons - $4,600
Getty ImagesStanley Johnson started and exploded for over 40 fantasy points against the New York Knicks on Friday night. With Kentavious Caldwell-Pope out again tonight against Indiana, Johnson could finish with a similar stat line. Even if he doesn't have a monster game, he'll provide adequate value for his price.
SF - Nicolas Batum - Charlotte Hornets - $6,000
Getty ImagesNicolas Batum has an ideal matchup against Bradley Beal and the Washington Wizards' feeble backcourt this evening, as while he's listed at small forward on FanDuel, he actually starts at shooting guard for the Charlotte Hornets. You mustn't spend a moment wondering why he's listed incorrectly, and instead use that time to fire him up in as many lineups as possible.
PF - Thaddeus Young - Brooklyn Nets - $6,400
Getty ImagesThaddeus Young projects to make mincemeat of Nerlens Noel and the inexperienced Philadelphia 76ers this evening. Expect a double-double with over 15 points.
PF - Taj Gibson - Chicago Bulls - $5,300
Getty ImagesTaj Gibson has tremendous value this evening, as the Chicago Bulls will be without Jimmy Butler, and possibly Pau Gasol as well. For his price, Gibson would have to pull a vanishing act in order to disappoint, even if Gasol is able to play.
C - Gorgui Dieng - Minnesota Timberwolves - $5,600
Getty ImagesGorgui Dieng's been logging 30 minutes a game for the Minnesota Timberwolves of late. As you may know, Dieng is an incredibly high fantasy point per minute option, and essentially double-doubles every time out on the hardwood when starting. As mentioned, the Chicago Bulls are going to be shorthanded this evening, which gives every member of the Timberwolves -- big or small -- a bump in value.
