NBA FanDuel Lineup for Monday February 27th 2017

The NBA action returns tonight to open up what looks to be a very busy Daily Fantasy Sports week. Tonight’s NBA Slate offers us a pretty solid seven game line while delivering us some solid NBA Daily Fantasy Basketball Options to build our lineups around tonight.

For Tonight the big concern is how many key Daily Fantasy Basketball options will be out due to injuries or illness. At the front of that list sits LeBron James who is currently listed as a game time decision after missing the teams last game on Saturday.

Here are some of the top NBA players who might not be available tonight due to illness, rest or an injury.

LeBron James (Illness) – Game Time Decision
Kevin Durant Durant (Injury) – Expected To Play
Joel Embiid (Injury) – Out
Kyle Lowry (Injury) – Expected To Be Out
Kristaps Porzingis (Injury) – Expected To Be Out

Each of these plays will play directly into some key fantasy option decisions including Lowry for us. If Lowry is out DeMar DeRozan is a must start candidate in both cash lineups as well as GPP tournaments. Over the past two games with Lowry out of the lineup, DeRozan has posted 53.5 and 45.2 fantasy points in each of those contests while providing over 5 time fantasy value.

While DeRozan looks to be the one lock in our lineup here our the rest of our NBA Daily Fantasy Basketball Options for Monday February 27th, 2017.

Point Guards – Ricky Rubio & Cory Joseph

Since the All-Star Break Rubio has looked good for the Minnesota Timberwolves turning in back to back double doubles while posting 30.1 and 43 fantasy points. One thing is for certain and that is the fact that Rubio sees the floor a lot posting over 32 minute sin six straight games. Meanwhile with Lowry expected to be out Joseph is one of those sleeper options that not only provide us some salary cap space but also a big upside.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Isaiah Thomas
Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Jeff Teague & Darren Collison
Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Malcolm Brogdon

Shooting Guards – Giannis Antetokounmpo & DeMar DeRozan

The debate could be made for both James Harden as well as the Greek Freak here at the shooting guard position. In the end we couldn’t pass up Antetokounmpo tonight based on averaging over 53 fantasy points a contest in three meetings this season against this same Cleveland Cavaliers team. Meanwhile we couldn’t resist slotting DeRozan at the second shooting guard slot as long as Lowry continues to miss action tonight.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: James Harden
Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Tyreke Evans
Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Gerald Henderson

Small Forwards – Harrison Barnes & C.J. Miles

After spending at the shooting guard position it limited us on what we would like to do at the small forward position. In the end we like Barnes as a mid tier option posting nearly 30 fantasy points a night while continuing to see in the mid 30’s in minutes played. Miles on the other hand is more of a high risk high reward option who has a very favorable matchup in a game that should see a ton of scoring from both teams.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Kevin Durant
Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Andrew Wiggins & Robert Covington
Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Glenn Robinson III

Power Forwards – Serge Ibaka & Nerlens Noel

As both of these players get acquainted with their new teams they both have some true fantasy value on the floor. Ibaka who never really fit in Orlando has posted 25.4 and 38 fantasy points in his two games in Toronto while seeing the floor for over 34 minutes in each game. Noel on the other hand moves onto a Dallas Mavericks team that lacks a true big man which will open up his playing time. In his first game with the Mavericks, Noel saw 30 minutes on the floor while missing a double double by just one point.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: N/A
Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Draymond Green & Gorgui Dieng
Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Ryan Anderson

Center Option – Myles Turner

In a game that expected to be very fast pace and see a ton of scoring on both ends of the floor Turner looks to be a solid fantasy option a at the center position. While he isn’t one of those options that will post 40 or 50 fantasy points he is one that has turned in over 31 fantasy points in five of his last six games making him a very consistent play while freeing up some salary cap space.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: N/A
Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Al Horford & Guillermo Hernangomez
Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Zaza Pachulia & Nene Hilario

NBA FanDuel Lineup for Thursday February 23rd 2017

The second half of the 2016-17 NBA Season tips off tonight as Daily Fantasy Owners look to cash in. Tonight’s lineup features six games taking to the hardwood including what looks to be a solid fantasy matchup in New Orleans as the Pelicans welcome the Houston Rockets to town.

For Daily Fantasy Basketball Options this games offers a ton of top tier fantasy options now that the Pelicans have added DeMarcus Cousins to their lineup. Along with Cousins the other two top tier fantasy options tonight from this contest features James Harden as well as Anthony Davis.

With all that said we are turning most of our attention tonight to a wide range of options including some potential big time fantasy sleeper options. One of those fantasy sleepers we like tonight is Willie Cauley-Stein for the Sacremento Kings who should see a bump in playing time opening up his fantasy value. In two previous games when the Kings big man posted over 20 minutes he provide fantasy owners at least 22.9 fantasy points.

While Cauley-Stein is one of our fantasy sleeper options we like tonight, here is the rest of our NBA Daily Fantasy Basketball Options to build around. Despite liking these options we still suggest monitoring the trade market prior to the 3pm ET deadline to ensure no key players are moved that could increase the playing time of others.

Point Guards – Kemba Walker & Damian Lillard

Tonight’s slate of point guards offers a solid list of options including both Walker and Lillard who both have solid fantasy matchups. Walker entered the break posting back to back 43 point fantasy performances as he looks to continue his success against the Detroit Pistons. In three previous meetings, Walker has averaged 26.7 points to go with four rebounds and four assists. Meanwhile, Lillard scorched the Orlando Magic in January for 33 points in route to a 43 point contest.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Stephen Curry

Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Elfrid Payton

Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Ty Lawson

Shooting Guards – E-Twaun Moore & Will Barton

The Pelicans shooting guard is projected to start tonight at the shooting guard position after the team shipped out both Buddy Heild and Tyreke Evans in the Cousins trade. Over his last two games where Moore has seen over 20 minutes he has posted over 20 plus fantasy points. Barton meanwhile face off against a Sacramento Kings team that ranks third in the NBA in fantasy points allowed to opposing shooting guards. Along with the matchup, Barton provides a big time upside with three 44 point fantasy performances over his last six games.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: James Harden

Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Nicolas Batum

Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Tyreke Evans & Ben McLemore

Small Forwards – Carmelo Anthony & Aaron Gordon

As of now Anthony is one of those fantasy options we really like tonight against the Cleveland Cavaliers but we strongly recommend monitoring his trade status later this afternoon. Entering tonight, Anthony has posted over 40 fantasy points in three of his last four games. While Anthony is always a threat for a big time fantasy performanc, Gordon is a sleeper type of option but one that should see some solid fantasy production as he returns to the power forward position.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: LeBron James

Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Marcus Morris & Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Jeff Green

Click HERE to join FanDuel’s $30K Thu NBA Dribbler Today!

Power Forwards – Frank Kaminsky & Willie Cauley-Stein

Kaminsky will continue to see an increased workload at the center position with both Cody Zeller and Miles Plumlee out. Kaminsky posted three straight games of at least 35 minutes while also posting at least 33 fantasy points. Cauley-Stein on the other hand is a high risk high reward play but we expect the Kings big man to take on a more expanded role now that Cousins has been traded.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Anthony Davis

Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Draymond Green

Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Juancho Hernangomez

Center Option – DeMarcus Cousins

We tossed around a few names at the center position including going with Nikola Vucevic and Mason Plumlee. In the end we couldn’t pass up the chance to go with Cousins tonight in a contest that should provide some scoring on both sides of the floor as well as a ton of chances to grab rebounds. Cousins is a double double potential every night of the week and should have a potential for assists playing alongside Anthony Davis.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: N/A

Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Nikola Vucevic

Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Guillermo Hernangomez

Top 5 MLB Sleepers for 2017

The start Spring Training has arrived as all 32 Major League Baseball clubs have arrived to their camps. After what was an exciting 2016 campaign, the upcoming 2017 MLB Season should look to deliver more excitement both for fans as well as Fantasy Baseball owners.

Now that being said as we start to look at the upcoming 2017 MLB Season it opens up the door for us to start looking ahead at what players are worth the pick, what players might be busts and even which surprise players make a big time fantasy impact this season.

That is where we are going to turn our attention to in this article as we feel like every one who plays fantasy baseball would love to have Mike Trout, Miguel Cabrerra, Clayton Kershaw and Bryce Harper. The reality side is this selections will be hard to come by as these players will be gone early or carry a very big price tag opening the door to find a few of those sleeper top players.

Here are 5 MLB Players who could produce big time for their fantasy owners during the 2017 MLB Season.

Domingo Santana, Milwaukee Brewers – Outfielder

The Brewers outfielder is one of those power hitting threats that could find his name on the draft boards in the later rounds while his opening daily value on sites like FanDuel and DraftKings could be cheap. Despite playing in less than half the teams games last season, Santana picked up 14 doubles, 11 home runs to go with 32 runs batted in.

Hunter Renfroe, San Diego Padres – Outfielder

After a strong minor league campaign, Renfroe found his way to the Major League Club in September. Renfroe didn’t disappoint in 11 games as he picked up 13 hits in 35 at bats including three doubles and four home runs. The Padres outfielder also managed to score eight runs while driving in 14 runners making him one of those options to consider selecting in the later rounds of your MLB Fantasy Draft.

Dylan Bundy, Baltimore Orioles – Starting Pitcher

The former number one prospect looks ready to start his journey as a true top tier starter during the 2017 MLB Season. Last season Bundy managed to strike out 104 batters in the 109.2 innings of work he appeared in. While Bundy started the season out of the bullpen for Buck Showalter, he did manage to build up the arm strength to move to the starting rotation.

Jorge Polanco, Minnesota Twins – Short Stop

The 23 year old short stop is an interesting case at a position that lacks a ton of talent and might be one of the weaker positions in all of baseball. That being said Polanco is a threat to post 60 plus extra base hits if he finds his way into the Twins starting short stop position. Last year, Polanco picked up 15 doubles, four triples and four home runs in just 69 games played.

Robbie Ray, Arizona Diamondbacks – Starting Pitcher

The Diamondbacks starter is one of those bounce back starter options we really like entering the 2017 MLB Season. While Ray struggled at times last season as he finsiehd the season with a 4.90 earned run average he did display his ability to punch people out as he finished the season with 218 strikeouts in just 174.1 innings.

Other MLB Fantasy Sleepers for the upcoming 2017 MLB Season include Trayce Thompson, Trea Turner, Jorge Soler and Jose Berrios.

NHL FanDuel Lineup for Tuesday February 14th 2017

Daily Fantasy Hockey players a chance to cash in. This comes on a night where the NBA offers a very limited three game slate helping many Daily Fantasy Sports Owners to turn to the seven game slate on the ice.

Tonight’s slate will look to deliver some big time fantasy options to build around including the top two overall scoring leaders as well as the leader in goals against and save percentage in the NHL. For those three one idea is to pair the three together to form a dynamic three man stack but it would limit us on spending across the board.

Those three options are Connor McDavid (Points Leader – 61), Sidney Crosby (Goal Leader (30 Goals – 60 Points ) and Devan Dubnyk (1.99 Goals Allowed Per Game & .933 Save Percentage). While all three look to be great options tonight here is our NHL Daily Fantasy Options for Tuesday February 14^th, 2017.

NHL FanDuel Center Options

Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh Penguins – Connor McDavid, Edmonton Oilers

Crosby is one of those fantasy options you just can’t pass up on despite carrying a heavy salary cap number. Despite his recent struggles, Crosby is still a must use option on most nights as he has the abilty to put together a big fantasy performance any time he takes the ice. Over his last six games, Crosby has six double digit fantasy performances including two over the 30 point mark. Much like Crosby, McDavid is one of those Daily Fantasy Hockey options you just can’t look past. Entering tonight, the Oilers center is riding three straight double digit fantasy performances as he looks to continue that success against an Arizona Coyotes team that ranks fourth in the NHL in goals allowed per game.

Top Tier Options: Tyler Seguin

Mid Tier Options: Bryan Little & Leon Draisaitl

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Travis Zajac

NHL FanDuel Winger Options

Miles Wood, New Jersey Devils – Blake Wheeler – Winnipeg Jets

Sam Reinhart, Buffalo Sabres – Zack Smith, Ottawa Senators

Now if you look to go with the combination of Crosby and McDavid it will limit what we can do at both the Winger and Defenseman positions. That being said here are four solid options that winger position that could help you cash in tonight. For us Wood and Wheeler are both excellent plays based on their matchups. Wood will be facing off against a Colorado Avalanche team that ranks 1^st in goals allowed while Wheeler will look to take advantage of a Dallas Stars team ranks 2^nd in the NHL. Meanwhile bothS Smith and Reinhart have been strong of late turning in double digit performances in three of their last five games.

Top Tier Options: Jamie Benn

Mid Tier Options: Taylor Hall & Mike Hoffman

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Jake Guentzel

NHL FanDuel Defenseman Options

Francois Beauchemin, Colorado Avalanche

Nikita Zaitsev, Toronto Maple Leafs

For us this was a safe position to spend cheap while freeing up the cap space to go with some of the more expensive options such as Crosby, McDavid and Wheeler. Now as we looked at tonight’s lineup of NHL contests we looked at which teams have struggled against defenseman. These numbers pointed to Beauchemin and Zaitsev as they are facing off against the 1^st and 2^nd ranked teams in the NHL in fantasy points allowed to opposing defenseman.

Top Tier Options: Erik Karlsson

Mid Tier Options: John Klingberg & Dustin Byfuglien

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Alexander Edler

NHL FanDuel Goalie Options

Cam Talbot, Edmonton Oilers

Between the pipes we could have gone a few directions tonight as the bottom four teams in goals scored are in action. These teams include the Colorado Avalanche, New Jersey Devils, Arizona Coyotes and the Vancouver Canucks. This opened up the door for Talbot, Matt Murray, Cory Schneider as well as who ever the Devils elect to put between the pipes. In the end we elected to go with Talbot based on his salary as well as his past success against the Coyotes back in January. In that game, the Oilers picked up the win while Talbot finished with 24.8 fantasy points.

Top Tier Options: Matt Murray

Mid Tier Options: Cory Schneider

Fantasy Sleeper Option: Calvin Pickard

NBA FanDuel Lineup for Monday February 13th 2017

The 2016-17 NBA Schedule kicks off our work with an exciting 11 game slate taking to the hardwood. A slate of games that features a stellar list of big time fantasy options including two players averaging over 50 fantasy points a game while eight other players are averaging at least 40 fantasy points.

Those types of numbers give us a solid starting point as we build our Daily Fantasy Basketball lineups on Monday February 13^th, 2017. One of those top tier fantasy options is Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors as he looks to continue his success he has had this season while averaging over 40 fantasy points a game.

The Warriors point guard has been up and down all season for his fantasy owners posting both big time fantasy performances as well as the occasional let down. With all that said Curry enters Monday Night’s contest against the Denver Nuggets with five 50 plus fantasy performances over his last seven games played.

While Curry is one player to build around here is the rest of the Daily Fantasy Basketball Options we like for Monday February 13^th, 2017.

Point Guards – Stephen Curry & Goran Dragic

At the point guard position we could have easily gone a few different directions but in the end we couldn’t pass up on either Curry or Dragic. For these two point guards they enter Monday Night facing off against two teams that rank in the top three in fantasy points allowed. Curry will look to take build on his recent success against a Nuggets tea that ranks second in the NBA in fantasy points allowed. Dragic on the other hand will look to lead his Miami Heat against an Orlando Magic team that has struggled against opposing point guards all season.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Russell Westbrook

Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Mike Conley & Jameer Nelson

Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Devin Harris

Shooting Guards – Devin Booker & Tony Allen

Now if you elect to go cheap at the point guard position or at the power forward slot it could open up the door for you to go with someone like Giannis Antetokounmpo or Nicolas Batum. While both look to be good options on Monday Night, Booker and Allen both offer a great value with great upside. Booker has topped the 35 point mark in three of his last six games while Allen has provided at least five times his salary number in three straight games.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Giannis Antetokounmpo

Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Kay Thompson & C.J. McCollum

Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Nik Stauskas & Khris Middleton

Small Forwards – Harrison Barnes & Andre Roberson

The idea of stacking Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook was at the top of my wish list. Unfortuantly the salary cap numbers limit our ability opening up the door for a few lower tier options at the small forward position Two of those positions are Barnes and Roberson who both have been solid fantasy producers. Barnes entersthis game with two 34 point fantasy perorfrmances over his last three games while Roberson continues to see 30 plus minutes a night opening up his fantasy potential.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Kevin Durant

Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Marcus Morris & TJ Warren

Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: CJ Miles & Rodney McGruder

Power Forwards – Anthony Davis & Frank Kaminsky

Building around Anthony Davis might have been the easiest of the fantasy options tonight based on his recent success and fantasy matchup. The New Orleans Pelicans power forward has posted over 40 fantasy points in nine straight games. On Monday Night he will face off against an up tempo Phoenix Suns team that ranks sixth in the NBA in fantasy points allowed to opposing power forwards. Kaminsky on the other hand has seen his minutes increase at both the power forward and center positions with Cody Zeller out. Kaminsky has posted over the 34 point fantasy mark in three of his last five games.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Nikola Jokic

Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Markieff Morris & Zach Randolph

Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: JaMychal Green & Marquese Chriss
Center Option – Kelly Olynyk

The final position to build around is the center position with some solid value from top to bottom. For us spending heavy at the other positions turned us to Olynyk despite the fact he is the teams second option at the center position. Entering Monday Night, Olynyk is coming off a 37.9 fantasy point fantasy performance against a very good Utah Jazz team. The other fantasy option we like on Monday Night at the center position is Marc Gasol who will look to take advantage of a very bad Brooklyn Nets team.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Marc Gasol

Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Marcin Gortat & Dwight Howard

Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Dewayne Dedmon

NBA FanDuel Lineup for Thursday February 9th 2017

The NBA action tonight will look to deliver some big time surprises around the Daily Fantasy Basketball world. Much of those surprises should come from Oklahoma City where the Thunder will welcome a very good Cleveland Cavaliers teams. Unfortunately for Daily Fantasy Basketball owners looking to cash in on some of those key Cavalier fantasy options the big three will not be available.

Yes that is correct as the Cavalier are expected to rest LeBron James, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving tonight as they team comes off three games over the last four nights. For us this is a good thing as this opens up the door to not only play Russell Westbrook in this contest but also look for some fantasy sleeper options.

A few of those options we like including point guard Kay Felder who should see as much as 30 minutes tonight. Meanwhile someone like Kyle Korver becomes nearly a lock for us in most of our lineups as he is coming off an impressive 34 point fantasy performance in his last contest.

With all that said let’s take a look at the rest of our Daily Fantasy Basketball Options for Thursday February 9^th, 2017.

Point Guards – Russell Westbrook & Elfrid Payton

When you look at the point guard position it is nearly impossible to look past Westbrook tonight against a Cavaliers team that could be without their key weapons. Only concern for us is not that he won’t post at least 45/50 fantasy points but how much rest he could see if they find a way to blow out the Cavaliers. Meanwhile Payton has a very favorable matchup against a Philadelphia 76er team that ranks fourth in the NBA in fantasy points allowed to the point guard position.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Kemba Walker

Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Patrick Beverley

Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Kay Felder

Shooting Guards –Nicolas Batum & Kyle Korver

Now if you go with say someone like Kay Felder in place of Payton you should be able to wiggle James Harden with Westbrook into your lineup. That being said looking to spread the wealth around landed us with both Batum and Korver at the shooting guard position tonight. Korver should see 30 plus minutes with the big three off the court while Batum has the second best fantasy matchup of the night at the position.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: James Harden

Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Evan Fournier

Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Nik Stauskas

Small Forwards – Gordon Hayward & Andre Roberson

Sticking with that Cavaliers/Thunder matchup turned us to Roberson who has been solid of late for his fantasy owners posting over 31 fantasy points in back to back games. Meanwhile Hayward is the top fantasy option expected to suit up tonight as he looks to lead his Utah Jazz past the Dallas Mavericks. Over his last five games, Hayward has posted three games over 44 fantasy points while the other two games over the 30 fantasy point mark.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: N/A

Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Jeff Green

Power Forwards – Marvin Williams & Frank Kaminsky

With no real top tier fantay option at the power forward position tonight we turned to the md tier level tonight while also considering going with someone like Amir Johnson or Dwight Powell to allow us to make the move to James Harden. In the end Williams has the best fantasy matchup of the night at the power forward position while Kaminsky has posted over 34 fantasy points in two of their last three games.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: N/A

Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Derrick Favors & Ersan Ilyasova

Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Dwight Powell & Amir Johnson

Center Option – Nikola Vucevic

Here is our lock of the night as we expect Vucevic to put together a big time fantasy performance against a 76ers team that has struggled against opposing centers. Vucevic is coming off a near 50 point fantasy performance as well as posting over the 40 point mark in three of last six games.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Al Horford

Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Steven Adams & Tristan Thompson

Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Jahlil Okafor

NHL FanDuel Lineup for Tuesday February 7th 2017

The daily fantasy action turns to the ice on Tuesday Night with an exciting eleven game slate. A slate that features some of the NHL top Daily Fantasy Options including Braden Holtby between the pipes, Alex Ovechkin at the wing position and Sidney Crosby at center.

The big question tonight is which of these big name super stars are worth the high salary cap hit while also building a solid lineup from top to bottom. One big name fantasy star we like tonight is Max Pacioretty for the Montreal Canadians going up against a Colorado Avalanche team that is allowing a league high in goals scored.

The other key NHL Fantasy Option we like tonight is Pacioretty’s teammate Carey Price who is slated to start at goalie. Price will look to continue his recent success as he has posted over 16 fantasy points in four of his last five games. Tonight he will get a chance to build on those performances against an Avalanche team that is scoring just around two goals a game.

Here is our NHL Daily Fantasy Options for Tuesday February 7^th, 2017.

Center – Sidney Crosby & Darren Helm

Crosby might be the best fantasy option tonight as he looks to lead his Pittsburgh Penguins to a big win at home against the Calgary Flames. Crosby enters tonight’s show down coming off an impressive 38.4 point fantasy performance in his last outing while topping the double digit fantasy mark in four of his last six games. Meanwhile to off set some of Crosby’s salary cap number we elected to go with Helm as a nice cheap option that has the potential to produce double digit fantasy numbers.

Other Center Fantasy Options we like include Tyler Seguin, Ryan Kesler and Henrik Zetterberg.

Winger – Patrick Eaves, Mitchell Marner, Jason Zucker & Brandon Saad

As we built our roster today we strongly looked at Alex Ovechkin as a weapon to team up with Crosby. In the end we elected to spread the money around at the position while landing with a few solid fantasy options. One of those options is Patrick Eaves tonight as he looks to take advantage of a Toronto Mapleleafs defense that has struggled against opposing wingers this season. Over his last six games, Eaves has posted at least 11 fantasy points in four of those contests including two games over 25 fantasy points. Meanwhile Marner has been hot over his last four games posting over 16.8 fantasy points including a strong 31.7 point fantasy point mark.

Other Wingers Fantasy Options we like include Alex Ovechkin, Jamie Benn and Mathieu Perreault.

Defenseman – Nikita Zaitsev & Ryan Ellis

Now depending on where you elect to spend the money at the other positions you may be in the position to go with someone like Brent Burns or Victor Hedman. In the end we elected to save the extra cash at these two positions by going with both Zaitsev and Ellis. Tonight these two options both have solid fantasy matchups as Zaitsav will look to take advantage of a Dallas Stars team that ranks 2^nd in fantasy points allowed to opposing defenseman while Ellis will look to capitalize against a Vancouver team that ranks 10^th.

Other Defenseman Fantasy Options we like include Brent Burns, Victor Hedman and Shea Weber.

Goalie – Carey Price

In the end while we strongly like Braden Holtby we elected to go with Price based on his matchup against a Avalanche team that is struggling to put the puck in the Nets. In their first matchup back in December, Price was solid allowing just one goal while picking up just 15 saves in route to a 20 point fantasy performance.

Other Goalie Fantasy Options we like include Braden Holtby & Matt Murray

NBA FanDuel Lineup for Monday February 6th 2017

The Daily Fantasy Sports World will turn all their eyes on the heavy NBA action taking to the hardwood tonight. Overall tonight 22 teams are in action providing a ton of Daily Fantasy Basketball options to build around including a few possible playoff preview matchups.

One of those matchups will feature the Cleveland Cavaliers traveling to our Nations Capital take on the Washington Wizards. This game features some of the top fantasy options at the point guard, small forward and power forward position before. This options include John Wall, LeBron James and Kevin Love while someone like Otto Porter has a strong potential for a big game.

While this contest features some big time fantasy options these are just a few of those options available. At the front of the list sits Russell Westbrook who is coming off another 50 plus fantasy performance while other top options include DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis.

Here is a quick look at the NBA Fantasy Basketball Options we like for Monday February 6^th, 2017.

Point Guards – Eric Bledsoe & Yogi Ferrell

The heavy slate of games provides us with a bunch of solid fantasy options at the point guard position including building around Westbrook. In the end we couldn’t pass up Bledsoe based on his matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans while Ferrell should see extended minutes tonight as it appears Deron Williams will miss another game. Another option we could see us building around tonight is Brandon Jennings but only if Derrick Rose is out of the lineup.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Russell Westbrook

Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: D’Angelo Russell & Brandon Jennings

Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Michael Carter-Williams

Shooting Guards –Lou Williams & Dion Waiters

For us with no real top tier option on the slate at the shooting guard position opened up the door for stacking two mid tier options. While in cash games you will want to stay away as they both are a risky type of play based on their inconsistencies. That being said for GPP formats each of these guards has the potential to drop 30 plus fantasy points on any giving night. If you elect to shy away from Bledsoe you could turn to Devin Booker at this position as well.

Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Devon Booker & Bradley Beal

Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Courtney Lee

Small Forwards – Andrew Wiggins & Matt Barnes

The injury to Zach LaVine should open up the door for more scoring opportunites for Wiggins as he looks to pick up the production lost. Night in and night out Wiggins will see 36 plus minutes providing him with a ton of fantasy scoring opportunities. Meanwhile Barnes has picked up over 30 minutes in three straight games while posting over 20 fantasy points in four straight games. Look for another 6 to 8 time fantasy performance versus his salary cap number.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Le’Bron James & Paul George

Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Otto Porter & Marcus Morris

Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Shabazz Muhammad & DeMarre Carroll

Power Forwards – Anthony Davis & Marquese Chriss

We like the head to head matchup between Davis and Chriss tonight in a game that could be a faster pace. For Davis he has five straight games over the 40 fantasy point mark with three of them going for at least 50. Tonight Davis will look to continue that trend against a Phoenix Suns team allowing the fifth most fantasy points to the position among teams in action. Meanwhile Chriss is another one of those fantasy options who has a potential to reward fantasy owners with 7-10 time performance. Chriss does carry a high risk factor but he has reward fantasy owners with two 30 plus fantasy performances over his last four games.

Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Darrell Arthur

Center Option – Guillermo Hernangomez

Despite not locking down the starting gig tonight for the New York Knicks we still like his fantasy value coming off the bench. The Knicks center has three straight 30 plus fantasy performances leading up to his fantasy matchup against a Los Angeles Lakers team allowing the second most fantasy points to opposing centers in the NBA this season.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: DeMarcus Cousins & Andre Drummond

NBA FanDuel Lineup for Saturday February 4th 2017

The NBA heats up on Saturday Night with a solid ten game slate taking to the hardwood. Tonight’s slate features a ton of big name fantasy options including LeBron James (47.9 FPG), Anthony Davis (50.7 FPG) and DeMarcus Cousins (49.5 FPG). In all nine different top tier fantasy options are averaging over the 40 point mark opening up the door for a long list of potential fantasy roster options.

One of those top tier fantasy options we like tonight is John Wall at the point guard position. The Washington Wizards point guard has posted over 50 fantasy points in two of his last three games. This includes a 50.7 point fantasy performance against the same New Orleans Pelicans team that they will be facing off against at home tonight.

At the lower tier fantasy options one option that looks good from a GPP stand put is T.J. Warren for the Phoenix Suns. Warren and his teammate P.J. Tucker will face off against a Milwaukee Bucks team that has struggled against small forwards this season.

Here is a quick look at the NBA Fantasy Basketball Options we like for Saturday February 4^th, 2017.

Point Guards – John Wall & Brandon Jennings

Wall is a sure lock at the point guard position especially for owners looking to cash in on 50/50 and H2H contests. That being said tonight is another good night for the Wizards point guard to top the 50 point mark against a team he has had success against. Jennings on the other hand is a high risk high reward type fantasy option that we love if Derrick Rose is out of the lineup. If Rose is a go you could look to someone like Dennis Schroder or a little more expensive option like Mike Conley.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Steph Curry ( We love Curry tonight as well)

Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Elfrid Payton & Dennis Schroder

Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Ty Lawson

Shooting Guards –Tim Hardaway Jr & Iman Shumpert

Despite some solid top tier options at the position we looked at the low tier fantasy sleeper options at the shooting guard based on their matchups. For us Hardaway is a near lock for us in most GPP lineups with Thabo Sefolosha expected out tonight. Hardaway has posted over 38 puts in two of his last three games. Meanwhile Shumpert will look to cash in tonight against a Knicks team that ranks third in fantasy points allowed to the shooting guard position.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Giannis Antetokounmpo

Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Dion Waiters & Devin Booker

Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Nik Stauskas

Small Forwards – Carmelo Anthony & T.J. Warren

This was a position that was a little difficult as we also debated going with LeBron James or Kevin Durant. In the end Anthony saves us some salary cap space while having a soild matchup against James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Warren on the other hand is one of those GPP plays that we really like based on his fantasy potential. The Phoneix Suns small forward has shown flashes of potential making him that high risk high reward type play that could help us cash out.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: LeBron James & Kevin Durant

Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Otto Porter

Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: Joe Johnson

Power Forwards – Terrance Jones & Jabari Parker

It is hard to pass up on Anthony Davis but we decided to go with his teammate Jones while teaming him up with Parker. If you elect to go with a Porter or Johnson in place of Anthony you could also team up Davis with someone like Frank Kaminsky or JaMychal Green. That being said Jones has a very favorable matchup against the Wizards while also posting over 30 fantasy points in three of his last five games. Parker on the other hand is not at the level of a player to build around each night but he should have have a ton of additional opportunites tonight against a Suns team that likes to move the ball.

Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Kristaps Porzingis & Zach Randolph

Fantasy Sleeper Option We Like: JaMychal Green & Darrell Arthur

Center Option – Dwight Howard

How can you not like the Center Position tonight that feature a long list of solid fantasy mathups including someone like Cousins as well as Hassan Whiteside. In the end we couldn’t pass up Howard up tonight against a Orlando Magic team that has its share of struggles against opposing centers. Among teams in play the Magic rank third in most fantasy points allowed to opposing centers tonight.

Top Tier Fantasy Option We Like: DeMarcus Cousins & Hassan Whiteside

Mid Tier Fantasy Option We Like: Marcin Gortat & Tyson Chandler
