The time has arrived for us to turn most of our attention to some daily fantasy action in the NBA. That includes Monday Night where a ten game NBA lineup gives us a ton of fantasy options to build our lineup around. A list of options that include DeMarcus Cousins, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis and LeBron James to name just a few.

While that list looks great on paper the big question is which of these stars should be the center of our roster. For us the first player we decided to build our lineup around is Kevin Durant. Durant has a very favorable matchup on Monday Night against a Phoenix Suns team that is allowing the most fantasy points per game to opposing small forwards.

The second option we have elected to go with is Durant’s teammate Westbrook against the same Suns team that has struggled to slow down opposing point guards. Now while we love the combination the $21,900 salary between the two limits us on what we can do with our lineup.

That leaves us to look for a few fantasy sleeper options with one of them being Jordan Hill for the Indiana Pacers against the Los Angeles Lakers. Hill is a gamble nearly every night of the week but his upside is great for anyone looking to cash in on a tournament. Hill has four 30 plus fantasy performances over his last ten games including a 43.9 point fantasy performance just a few weeks back.

Here is our NBA FanDuel Lineup for Monday February 8^th, 2016.

PG – Russell Westbrook ($11,100): Monday nights game against the Suns should be one if not the highest scoring contests around the NBA. That being said it makes it an easy decision to stack Westbrook and Durant on Monday Night.

PG – Reggie Jackson ($6,900): While we considered going more expensive here with someone like Kemba Walker but figured we should spread the money out evenly. Jackson has posted at least 30 fantasy points in three of the last four games.

SG – Gerald Henderson ($4,200): The Portland Trailblazers shooting guard is a solid fantasy option at under $5k. Henderson is riding three straight games with over 24 fantasy points earning him nearly six times his fantasy value.

SG – J.R. Smith ($5,300): Smith is another solid fantasy option on Monday Night against the Sacramento Kings. Entering this contest the Kings are allowing the second most fantasy points to opposing shooting guards in the NBA.

SF – Kevin Durant ($10,800): Much like Westbrook, Durant is a must start option on Monday Night. Durant has been on a tear posting at least 50 plus fantasy points in six of his last ten games.

SF – Nicolas Batum ($6,700): Batum has been on a tear over the past two games posting 50.7 and 40.7 fantasy points. Look for that success to continue against the Toronto Raptors on Monday.

PF – Cody Zeller ($4,700): After missing six straight games, Zeller has returned to post at least 25 minutes per game. As long as the minutes continue to poor in for Zeller his fantasy value is a solid option at under $5k.

PF – Serge Ibaka ($5,600): Were sticking with the Thunder on Monday Night in a game that we expect a ton of scoring opportunities to present themselves. That also mean that big men should have a solid opportunity to pick up some rebounds.

C – Jordan Hill ($4,700): Hill provides us with a little salary relief but also gives us a solid fantasy sleeper option on Monday Night. While a less than 20 point fantasy performance could kill our chances at money, a 30 plus fantasy performance would help us all cash in on some money.

The best sports weekend of the year has arrived, as all eyes will be on Super Bowl 50. For us that is just the end of what looks to be an exciting fantasy weekend opening up on Friday Night. All of that fantasy action tips off tonight with a solid ten game NBA lineup that gets underway at 7pm ET.

Those ten games provide us with a great selection of fantasy options including John Wall, Chris Paul and LeBron James to name just a few. Another name to monitor is DeMarcus Cousins who is currently listed as probable for the Sacramento Kings game tonight against the Brooklyn Nets.

Now for us the first two games we have elected to take a look at is the Philadelphia 76ers verse Washington Wizards game and the second game is the Kings/Nets contest. As these two matchups feature teams that have had struggling slowing down opposing players allowing them to put together some big time fantasy numbers.

For us we have elected to build our lineup around Cousins and Wall as we expect both of them to put up some big time numbers in these games. The Nets rank third in points allowed to the point guard position making not only Wall but Rajon Rondo as well at the point guard position.

Here is our NBA FanDuel Lineup for Friday February 5^th, 2016.

PG – John Wall ($8,300): Wall is an expensive option at the point guard position tonight but tonight should be a great night for the Wizards point guard. The Wizards guard has posted at least 47 fantasy points in three of the teams last four games.

PG – Derrick Rose ($6,200): Looking at the best options among all the point guard slots landed us with Rose tonight against the Denver Nuggets. Entering tonight the Nuggets are allowing the fourth most fantasy points per game to opposing point guards.

SG – Nik Stauskas ($3,800): While Stauskas is a big time fantasy gamble tonight but we view him as a deep sleeper to free up some salary cap number. While we love Wall for the Wizards tonight but we expect the 76ers to put up some solid numbers against a struggling defense.

SG – Joe Johnson ($5,300): Johnson is a hit or miss on most nights, as he has managed to post at least 20 fantasy points in seven of the teams last ten games. That includes 39.3 fantasy points in the teams last game against the Indiana Pacers just two nights ago.

SF – Gordon Hayward ($8,100): Since we managed to save a few bucks with our fantasy sleeper at the shooting guard position we were able to spend a little more freely at the small forward position. Hayward is our guy against a Milwaukee Bucks defense that has struggled against opposing small forwards.

SF – Wesley Johnson ($4,200): Johnson is another solid sleeper option tonight for the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers small forward has shown at times the ability to post at least 20 plus fantasy numbers.

PF – LaMarcus Aldridge ($7,100): Aldridge has been on fire of late posting at least 41 fantasy points in three of his last four games. Tonight he has a very favorable matchup against a Dallas Mavericks team that he posted 34.9 fantasy points the last time these teams met.

PF – Lavoy Allen ($3,900): After spending on a few of the top fantasy options we had to find a few bargains. Allen is a gamble but he has shown the ability to post 25 plus games over the Pacers last few games.

C – DeMarcus Cousins ($11,000): Cousins is our top option tonight but we suggest monitoring the injury report as the day goes on. If the Kings big man is active tonight we suggest building your fantasy lineup tonight. Cousins has posted at least 50 fantasy pints in six of the last night games he has appeared in.

The weekend has came to an end but that just means another day of daily fantasy action on FanDuel. Yes you heard that right as the NBA is still the center of attention as the NHL season is still on their All-Star break for one more day. That being said all eyes and fantasy action will take place around the NBA this Monday the first day of February.

Tonight’s lineup of NBA action features a nine game slate taking place tipping off with LeBron James leading his Cleveland Cavaliers into Indianapolis to take on the Pacers and Paul George. Meanwhile in Oklahoma City the Thunder led by Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant will welcome the Washington Wizards with John Wall.

As those top fantasy stars look to carry the load tonight, another one of the top stars could miss his teams game tonight. That star is DeMarcus Cousins who left the Sacramento Kings last game after suffering a sprained ankle. Now before you rule him out or consider going with someone one else on the Kings we recommend monitoring the lineups and daily fantasy news to ensure if he will or no be in the lineup.

Now for us we are going with the idea that the Kings will give him the night off tonight. This opens up the door for a few solid fantasy options on the Kings to step up to replace his production. Two of those options could be Kosta Koufos and Willie Cauley-Stein. Each of these players could see a significant increase in minutes without Cousins on the floor.

Here is our NBA FanDuel lineup for Monday February 1^st, 2016.

PG – Kyle Lowry ($9,000): We could have easily gone with John Wall or Russell Westbrook as well. In the end Lowry has a very favorable matchup against a Denver Nuggets team that is allowing the third most fantasy points to opposing point guards.

PG – Reggie Jackson ($7,000): Looking at the matchups for the point guard position landed us with Jackson against the Brooklyn Nets. Entering tonight’s game the Nets are allowing the fourth most fantasy points a game to opposing point guards.

SG – Khris Middleton ($7,300): Much like the play of Jackson at the point guard position we have elected to go with Middleton based on his matchup tonight. The Milwuakee Bucks shooting guard gets a chance to face off against a Sacramento Kings team that has struggled at times slowing down opposing shooting guards.

SG – Tony Allen ($4,700): Looking for a FanDuel bargain led us to the Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard. Since missing back to back games, Allen has delivered at least 22 fantasy points in three straight games including a solid 31.9 game just a few nights back.

SF – Kevin Durant ($10,700): The list of top options at the small forward position includes Durant, James, Paul George and even Gordon Hayward. For us we went with Durant tonight against the Wizards.

SF- Macrus Morris ($5,100): Looking to spend more freely at a few of the other positions positioned us for a few cheaper options. One of those options is Morris tonight who is a solid option to post 22-26 fantasy points on most nights with an occasional big game from time to time.

PF – Jabari Parker ($5,200): Without Cousins in the middle for the Kings the Milwaukee Bucks big men should be able to put up some solid fantasy numbers. While Parker has not put up the big time fantasy numbers we expected he has posted at least 20 fantasy points in eight of his last ten games.

PF – Myles Turner ($5,200): We really like Ryan Anderson tonight for the New Orleans Pelicans. That being said, Turner has been posting between 4 and 6 time his fantasy value over the past seven games.

C- Nikola Jokic ($5,700): As long as Jokic’s fantasy value stays at this price point he will be a solid option. The Denver Nuggets center has posted at least 35 fantasy points in four of his last five games.
