Here’s how to build the perfect NBA FanDuel lineup for Friday night (main slate).

PG - Rajon Rondo - Sacramento Kings - $8,200

With DeMarcus Cousins serving a one-game suspension, Rajon Rondo will be asked to pick up the slack in the scoring department. Expect a monster game from Rondo against the Orlando Magic, who don't play particularly well on the road.

Jrue Holiday - New Orleans Pelicans - $8,200

With Norris Cole out, Jrue Holiday will start and receive as many minutes as he can handle this evening against the banged-up Memphis Grizzlies. Expect to get your money's worth in a favorable matchup.

SG - Zach LaVine - Minnesota Timberwolves - $5,600

Zach LaVine's tick is secure now, as he's received 32 minutes or more in 10-straight games. LaVine is admittedly dealing with a sore shoulder, but it doesn't appear to be something that should be of major concern. Avery Bradley and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope would be adequate replacements if the minor injury makes you too nervous to fire him up.

The Memphis Grizzlies are riddled with injuries currently, and need as many minutes as possible from the able-bodied Tony Allen this evening. Against the lowly New Orleans Pelicans, expect Allen to obliterate value priced at just $4,500.

SF - Carmelo Anthony - New York Knicks - $9,100

The New York Knicks will be without Arron Afflalo this evening against the Los Angeles Clippers, which should mean all starters will see a rise in usage rate. Los Angeles' Paul Pierce projects to struggle defending Carmelo Anthony, which makes him an incredibly worthwhile play despite his expensive price tag.

SF - Nikola Mirotic - Chicago Bulls - $4,800 (Matt Barnes If Jimmy Butler Plays)

Nikola Mirotic played 28 minutes against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night and seems to no longer be on a minutes limit. If Jimmy Butler is indeed inactive again on Friday night against Miami as expected, Mirotic should be an excellent value play. If Butler miraculously plays or just simply makes you nervous, Memphis' Matt Barnes is a solid replacement.

PF - Tobias Harris - Detroit Pistons - $6,000

Tobias Harris has fit in well in Detroit since being acquired from Orlando last month, and he seems to finish with right around 30 fantasy points on a nightly basis. The Pistons are dealing with a number of injuries to backup players, which means for big minutes for their starters. Thus, expect 5x value again from Harris this evening.

With center Nikola Vucevic out for Orlando this evening, I'm expecting Aaron Gordon to see a spike in usage. The Sacramento Kings will be without DeMarcus Cousins, which should render their frontcourt as solid as Swiss cheese. Expect a monster showing from Gordon in perfect circumstances.

C - Rudy Gobert - Utah Jazz - $6,800

Rudy Gobert rarely overwhelms statistically but almost always provides excellent value for his mid-tier price. Against Marcin Gortat and the Washington Wizards, who are average at defending centers, expect another meat-and-potatoes type showing from Gobert.
