Join me in building the perfect NBA FanDuel lineup for March 4 (main slate).

PG - Kyrie Irving - Cleveland Cavaliers - $7,000

With Kevin Love out, Kyrie Irving should see his usage rate skyrocket. Irving should have no issue putting up a monster stat line against John Wall.

Louis Williams has already been ruled out for Los Angeles this evening, and Kobe Bryant appears to be doubtful to play. Thus, I'm expecting rookie point guard D'Angelo Russell to electrify.

SG - Khris Middleton - Milwaukee Bucks - $7,900

Khris Middleton has been lighting NBA hardwoods on fire of late, and has an ideal matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Expect to get your money's worth from Middleton.

SG - DeMar DeRozan - Toronto Raptors - $7,700

In what should be an incredibly high-scoring game against the Portland Trail Blazers, expect a gargantuan amount of fantasy points out of each team's backcourt. DeMar DeRozan should have no trouble flourishing against C.J. McCollum -- don't miss out.

SF - LeBron James - Cleveland Cavaliers - $9,800

Like the aforementioned Kyrie Irving, LeBron James should see a spike in usage with Kevin Love unavailable. Pay the king's ransom for James for a change.

Robert Covington's played over 30 minutes in four straight games, and projects to do so again tonight against Miami. His matchup isn't perfect, but it's hard to imagine him finishing under 5x value for his price.

PF - Tristan Thompson - Cleveland Cavaliers - $4,700

Stacking three players from the same team typically isn't a strategy I implement, but it makes too much sense this evening in Kevin Love's absence. Tristan Thompson should cement a double-double against Washington's feeble frontcourt.

Kristaps Porzingis' minutes have been a tad too inconsistent for my liking this season, but his matchup this evening against Boston's abysmal frontcourt defense is impossible to ignore. Fire up Porzingis expecting one of his better games.

C - Alex Len - Phoenix Suns - $5,300

Alex Len logged a ton of tick on Thursday night, and finished with 28 fantasy points. Expect a similar showing against Nikola Vucevic and the Orlando Magic.
