NBA FanDuel Lineup For Friday February 23rd 2018

The weekend has arrived with an exciting slate of action for DFS owners to take advantage of including a loaded Friday Night NBA Schedule. Tonight, the NBA Schedule is delivering an eleven-game slate, this heavy action delivers DFS owners a ton of options to build around on FanDuel tonight.

Did you jump on LeBron James last night? If not the King did what he continues to do and that is reward his DFS owners with 50 plus fantasy points per night. While James continues to be a sure lock in cash lineups as well as a solid look in GPP lineups, the big question tonight is who should be the top two options to build around?

One of the options we really like tonight is Anthony Davis who continues to be the main threat in the New Orleans Pelicans lineup. Tonight, Davis will get his shot at the Miami Heat a team that limited in their first meeting but have struggled of late against opposing big man. While Davis is one of the top tier options tonight the other one to consider is James Harden will have a top 10 match up against a Timberwolves team that has struggled against shooting guards.

Before we take a look at our Fantasy Sleepers and Fantasy Basketball Options for DFS owners to consider tonight, here is a quick look at the six games on the NBA Schedule for Friday February 23rd, 2018.

NBA Schedule for Friday February 23rd, 2018

Boston Celtics @ Detroit Pistons
Charlotte Hornets @ Washington Wizards
Atlanta Hawk @ Indiana Pacers
Milwaukee Bucks @ Toronto Raptors
Cleveland Cavaliers @ Memphis Grizzlies
Minnesota Timberwolves @ Houston Rockets
Miami Heat @ New Orleans Pelicans
Los Angeles Clippers @ Phoenix Suns
Portland Trailblazers @ Utah Jazz
San Antonio Spurs @ Denver Nuggets
Dallas Mavericks @ Los Angeles Lakers

Now that we know who else is in action around the NBA tonight, let’s take a look at our Fanduel Fantasy Sleepers for DFS owners to take advantage of tonight.

NBA FanDuel Fantasy Sleepers for Friday February 23rd, 2018

Tyrone Wallace ($3,500)

It will be interesting to see if Wallace will get the nod tonight for the Clippers as he was expected to get a start before the All-Star game as Avery Bradley is out of action. That said this contest has the making to be a blowout early leading to guys like Lou Williams and DeAndre Jordan to get some rest on the bench late. Look for updates as the day goes to see if Wallace is inserted into the starting roster.

Lance Stephenson ($4,800)

While his teammate Bojan Bogdanovic is worth a look at the $5,500 mark, Stephenson is well worth a shot in GPP leagues tonight against the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks enter this contest ranked 1st in the NBA in DVP against opposing small forwards. In their first meeting of the year, Stephenson scored double digits (10 points) to go with eight rebounds and six assists. Look for that same type of potential for Stephenson tonight.

Tonight’s other top NBA fantasy sleepers and bargains include Danny Green, Tony Parker, Royce O’Neale, Trey Lyles & Ian Mahinmi.

That said here are the NBA Daily Fantasy Basketball options we like for Friday February 23rd, 2018

Point Guards Options for FanDuel on Friday February 23rd, 2018

Top Point Guard Options: Damian Lillard

Mid-Tier Point Guard Options: Dennis Smith Jr & DeJounte Murray

Fantasy Sleeper Options: Tony Parker & Tyler Dorsey

The point guard position looks promising on Friday Night with solid cash lineup options such as Damian Lillard, Chris Paul and even Eric Bledsoe. For us it is hard to look past Lillard right now as he continues to try to carry the Trailblazers night in and night out. Prior to the NBA All-Star game, Lillard poured in three straight games with at least 45 points including two performances over the 60-point mark. While Lillard is top tier option to consider both Smith Jr and Murray have solid matchups tonight. Smith will look to take advantage of a Lakers defense that ranks 6th in DVP against point guards while Murray takes on a Nuggets defense that ranks 5th. On sleeper side Parker could benefit much like Murray taking on a Nuggets team that struggles against point guards.

Shooting Guard Options for FanDuel on Friday February 23rd, 2018

Top Shooting Guard Options: James Harden

Mid-Tier Shooting Guard Options: Lou Williams& DeMar DeRozan

Fantasy Sleeper Options: Danny Green & Josh Hart

It’s all about the top tier options tonight as James Harden looks to be one of the sure locks as DFS owners look to cash in on FanDuel. Harden has a very favorable matchup against a Timberwolves team that ranks 9th in DVP against the position and a team he has averaged 22 points, 10 assists and four rebounds against in two previous meetings this season. Along with Harden, Williams is another option you have to like but our only worries are that he could see reduced minutes if the game is a blowout. Tonight, Williams faces off against a Suns team that ranks 1st in DVP against opposing shooting guards. Meanwhile up North, DeRozan will be called upon in a star studded matchup against fellow All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo. For us you could also look to save a few bucks taking a shot on Hart tonight for the Lakers. Hart has a huge upside but also can keep you from cashing in. That said Hart has seen at least 30 minutes six of the team’s last seven games opening the door for him to put up some solid numbers.

Small Forward Options for FanDuel on Friday February 23rd, 2018

Top Small Forward Options: LeBron James & Giannis Antetokounmpo

Mid-Tier Small Forward Options: Jayson Tatum, Josh Jackson & Danilo Gallinari

Fantasy Sleeper Options: Lance Stephenson & Dillon Brooks

Maybe tonight the easiest decision when building our DFS lineups on FanDuel is to just stack James and the Greek Freak together while looking for bargains at other positions. James picked up another 50 plus fantasy performance last night. Meanwhile Antetokounmpo has averaged 25 points to go with seven rebounds and six assists in his first two meetings against the Raptors this season. In both of those meetings the Raptors won, that could add fuel to the Greek Freak tonight as he looks to lead his Bucks to a win. While we are all in on the top tier options guys like Tatum, Stephenson and Brooks all have top tier DVP matchups tonight.

Power Forward Options for FanDuel on Friday February 23rd, 2018

Top Power Forward Options: N/A

Mid-Tier Power Forward Options: Tobias Harris, Dwight Powell&Kyle Kuzma

Fantasy Sleeper Options: Domantas Sabonis & Montrezl Harrell

On a night where both LaMarcus Aldridge and Blake Griffin are solid cash game lineups, the NBA schedule is light on top tier power forwards to cash in on GPP tournaments. For us, the power forward position is one that could see some surprise performances from either Sabonis or Harrell who both have top five matchups. While Harrell is a risk, if gets extended run tonight due to a blowout against the Suns he could easily rewards his DFS owners with six to eight times value. That said it is hard to look past his teammate Harris who should benefit from playing against a bad Suns team. Meanwhile Powell and Kuzma should both see opportunities tonight as they face off in a game that features very little defense on either side.

Center Options for FanDuel on Friday February 23rd, 2018

Top Center Options: Anthony Davis & Karl-Anthony Towns

Mid-Tier Center Options: DeAndre Jordan & Jonas Valanciunas

Fantasy Sleeper Options: Ian Mahinmi & Tristan Thompson

The center position is an interesting on tonight as it will be hard to pass on either Davis or Towns. While we love Davis tonight, we can easily see Towns as an option that will reward us with a 50-60 plus fantasy performance based on his matchup against the fast paced Rockets team. Meanwhile in the mid-tier range Jordan should have the opportunity for a big game but a potential for a blowout lead early could limit him. Along with Jordan, Valanciunas has had success against the Bucks team this year that has struggled against opposing centers (2nd in DVP). On the low side, Thompson is intriguing option but he showed us just before the break he is a shaky pick (7.3 fantasy points).

As you look to cash in tonight, FanDuel has some solid GPP tournaments to look at including the $250K Friday Layup ($50k Top Prize) and the $150K Friday NBA Shot ($20k Top Prize).

NHL FanDuel Lineup for Thursday February 15th 2018

The NHL schedule takes center stage for DFS owners tonight with a heavy eleven game slate to take advantage of. For the next week, all eyes will be on the ice for DFS owners as the NBA season rolls into their All-Star break and the MLB offseason just starting as pitchers and catchers have reported.

When taking a quick glance at some of the NHL FanDuel options tonight, the list of top options is endless. The group includes a pair of top tier goalies in Andrei Vasilevskiy and Braden Holtby for DFS owners to build around. Meanwhile, on the offensive side the group is led by the likes of Alex Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin, Sidney Crosby, Connor McDavid and Nikita Kucherov.

Now before we take a look at who we like as we get set to build our NHL FanDuel lineups, let’s take a look at the 11contests on the NHL Schedule for Thursday February 15th, 2018

Carolina Hurricanes @ New Jersey Devils
New York Rangers @ New York Islanders
Los Angeles Kings @ Pittsburgh Penguins
Detroit Red Wings @ Tampa Bay Lightning
Buffalo Sabres @ Ottawa Senators
Calgary Flames @ Nashville Predators
Washington Capitals @ Minnesota Wild
Anaheim Ducks @ Chicago Blackhawks
Montrael Canadians @ Arizona Coyotes
Edmonton Oilers @ Vegas Golden Knights
Vancouver Canucks @ San Jose Sharks

With that all said here is alook at our Daily Fantasy Hockey Options on FanDuel for Thursday February 15th, 2018.

FanDuel NHL – Centers

Logan Couture & Mika Zibanedjad

The big question tonight is which direction do you elect to go with at the center position? You could easily go with the likes of Malkin or Crosby, while Steven Stamkos is another name to consider with his matchup against the Red Wings (6th in DVP against Centers). In the end we turned our attention to mid to upper echelon options in Couture and Zibanejad. Couture should benefit from playing against a Canucks team that ranks 2nd in the NHL in DVP against opposing Centers. Meanwhile, Zibanedjad should see a ton of scoring chances against an Islanders team that ranks 1st in the NHL in goals allowed per contest (3.67).

Top Tier NHL Fantasy Options – Evgeni Malkin, Connor McDavid & Steven Stamkos

Mid Tier NHL Fantasy Options – Jordan Staal, Jonathan Drouin &MikkoKoivu

Sleeper NHL Fantasy Options – Ryan Strome& Pavel Zacha

FanDuel NHL – Wings

Mark Stone, Reilly Smith, Tanner Pearson & Tom Wilson

Now the winger position tonight will simply come down to how you elected to spend your money at various positions. One solid option is to go cheap between the pipes to free up additional cash to add a combination of Kucherov and Ovechkin. For us we took a more sutle approach electing to go in the middle tier to allow us to spend at goalie. For us it is hard to look past Stone based one his matchup against a Sabres team that ranks 2nd in DVP. Meanwhile Smith, has been red hot for DFS owners posting double digit points in five straight contests. Rounding out the group we elected to with Pearson who has a favorable matchup against a top 5 team in DVP against the position while Wilson is always a solid candidate as long as he sees the minutes on the Caps team that has a ton of scoring chances.

Top Tier NHL Fantasy Options – Nikita Kucherov, Alex Ovechking& Johnny Gudreau

Mid-Tier NHL Fantasy Options – Brandon Gallagher, Gustav Nyquist & Kyle Palmieri

Sleeper NHL Fantasy Options –Alex Killorn & Joonas Donskoi

FanDuel NHL – Defenseman

Mike Green & Jeff Petry

Tonight, you could go a few different directions on the defensive side of the ice, for us we turned our attention to trying to find a few cap saving options. For us two of the options we strongly like this even is Green and Petry. For Green, he will look to take advantage of a Lightning team that ranks 2nd in the NHL in DVP against defenseman while Petry looks to benefit from taking on a Coyotes team that ranks 4th. As you look at Green you see a player that typically gets his chances to shoot while also being a player that records some blocks. Look for the number of blocked shots to be solid tonight for Green against a Lightnight team that leads the NHL in goals scored. Meanwhile with Shea Weber out, Petry has seen his chances on defense. Those chances have led to six double digit fantasy performances over his last nine contests.

Top Tier NHL Fantasy Options – Brent Burns & P.K. Subban

Mid-Tier NHL Fantasy Options – Drew Doughty & Mark Giordano

Sleeper NHL Fantasy Options –Karl Alzner& Brady Skjei

FanDuel NHL – Goalie

Andrei Vasilevskiy

The goalie position is an interesting one this evening with a ton of talented goal tenders expected to be between the pipes. For us the one option we are keeping our eyes on is the Lightning’s Vasilevskiy as he looks to add another big time performance for his DFS owners. Tonight, he will have that opportunity against a Red Wings team that has struggled to score averaging just 2.64 goals per game (6th fewest in the NHL). Along with Vasilevskiy we really like both Holtby and Rinne while Kinkaid is a nice salary cap saving option who will face off against a Hurricanes team that is averaging just 2.72 goals per contest (8th fewest in the NHL).

Top Tier NHL Fantasy Options – Braden Holtby&PekkaRinne

Mid-Tier NHL Fantasy Options – Keith Kinkaid

NBA FanDuel Lineup for Monday February 12th 2018

The NBA Schedule is solid to open up the week as DFS owners look to cash in on FanDuel tonight. In all six lineups are on the NBA schedule including a few key matchups that could see a ton of points scored. One of those matchups will take place out West at the Oracle Arena as the Golden State Warriors welcome the Phoenix Suns to town.

While this is a contest that DFS owners might want to jump fast on guys like Kevin Durant and Steph Curry. For us though, while both look like great options a big lead early could lead to both seeing additional time on the bench resting in the second half. That said, this matchup still has value with guys like TJ Warren, Elfrid Payton and Josh Jackson while Klay Thompson could see add more opportunities to score late.

Before we take a look at our Fantasy Sleepers and Fantasy Basketball Options for DFS owners to consider tonight, here is a quick look at the six games on the NBA Schedule for Monday February 12th, 2018.

NBA Schedule for Monday February 12th, 2018

New York Knicks @ Philadelphia 76ers
New Orleans Pelicans @ Detroit Pistons
Los Angeles Clippers @ Brooklyn Nets
Orlando Magic @ Chicago Bulls
San Antonio Spurs @ Utah Jazz
Phoenix Suns @ Golden State Warriors

Now that we know who else is in action around the NBA tonight, let’s take a look at our Fanduel Fantasy Sleepers for DFS owners to take advantage of tonight.

NBA FanDuel Fantasy Sleepers for Monday February 12th, 2018

Emmanuel Mudiay ($3,700)

It’s hard not to jump on Mudiay tonight in at least a few of your lineups as he delivers a big time salary savings while costing under the $4k mark. While Mudiay may continue to come off the bench, his style of play on a Knicks team that really has nothing to play for should help him put up some numbers. Look for him to not only take shots tonight but also to continue to get his teammates involved in the offense.

Davis Bertans ($3,900), Manu Ginobli ($4,200)&Patty Mills ($4,100)

We’re looking to the Spurs tonight for some sleeper value as the team continues to battle injuries. The latest name on the group is Dejounte Murray to join a group that also includes Tony Parker, Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge. That said we love Bertans as a player who should continue to see minutes while having the potential to post 25-30 fantasy points. Meanwhile if Murray and Parker are both out tonight, Mills and Ginobli will have to be two guys DFS owners consider as a cheap play at the point guard position.

Other fantasy sleepers/bargains to consider include Shaun Livingston, Avery Bradley, Wesley Johnson, Royce O’Neale & Jae Crowder

That said here are the NBA Daily Fantasy Basketball options we like for Monday February 12th, 2018.

Point Guards Options for FanDuel on Monday February 12th, 2018

Top Point Guard Options: Steph Curry

Mid-Tier Point Guard Options: Jerian Grant & Elfrid Payton

Fantasy Sleeper Options: Patty Mills & Emmanuel Mudiay

Even with the potential for a blowout, it’s hard to look past Curry tonight in a matchup where he should see a ton of opportunities early against a Suns team that ranks 3rd in DVP against the point guard position. Meanwhile if you are looking to go heavy with someone like Anthony Davis or Andre Drummond, you could elect to go mid tier with a pair of options who both have solid matchups. Grant will get his shot at a Magic team that has struggled against the point guard position (1st in DVP) while Payton will have his opportunities in the fast scoring matchup against the Warriors. On the low end, Mills is a deep sleeper play based on who is in and out of the Spurs lineup while Mudiay has a shot at 30-40 fantasy points.

Shooting Guard Options for FanDuel on Monday February 12th, 2018

Top Shooting Guard Options: N/A

Mid-Tier Shooting Guard Options: Donovan Mitchell, Klay Thompson, Lou Williams & D’Angelo Russell

Fantasy Sleeper Options: Avery Bradley, Manu Ginobili & Danny Green

Could the shooting guard position be the slot that wins or loses a GPP tournament for you tonight? For us it might be the most difficult of the positions to build around with no sure locks from the top ten fantasy options. While Zach LaVine looks like a solid play based on his amount tonight he has hit only 5x value once over his last five contests. This opens up the door for someone like Thompson who has a solid matchup (Suns 1st in DVP) or Williams against a very bad Nets team. Meanwhile guys like Mitchell and Russell (as long as minutes are there) both have the upside to post a 6-8 time fantasy performance tonight.

Small Forward Options for FanDuel on Monday February 12th, 2018

Top Small Forward Options: Kevin Durant

Mid-Tier Small Forward Options: TJ Warren, Danilo Gallinari & Michael Beasley

Fantasy Sleeper Options: Royce O’Neale & Joe Harris

Much like his teammate, Durant is still a solid play despite the potential for a blowout win by the Warriors. For us, Durant is a player who has shown in games with fewer than 30 minutes that he can post solid fantasy performances (31.2 & 48.8 last two). Outside of Durant, the small forward position is wide open with multiple options to consider that will provide you some salary cap space. One of those options is Beasley who will be called upon a lot for the Knicks with Kristaps Porzingis out for the season, add that with the fact Mudiay has the ability to get him the ball should open up his scoring chances. Along with Beasley both Warren and Gallinari are options who have the potential for 35-40 point fantasy performances tonight. On the low end if you are looking for value it’s hard to look past Harris who has had back to back solid fantasy performances (39.5 & 32.2).

Power Forward Options for FanDuel on Monday February 12th, 2018

Top Power Forward Options: Blake Griffin & Ben Simmons

Mid-Tier Power Forward Options: Tobias Harris & Lauri Markkanen

Fantasy Sleeper Options: Jae Crowder & Davis Bertans

The power forward position might be the one position that is the most rounded tonight with options at all three levels that DFS owners should be able to cash in on. Griffin has beenbrilliant with the Pistons posting over 40 points in two of his last three contests, while Simmons is a near triple double threat night in and night. In the mid tierrange it is hard to look past Harris who has the second best matchup of the tonight against a Nets team that ranks 2nd in DVP against the position. On the lower side Crowder and Bertans should both see additional playing time tonight. Crowder will face off against a Spurs team that is depleted with injuries while Bertans has seen 26 and 31 minutes in the last two contests rewarding his owners with back to back 20 plus fantasy performances.

Center Options for FanDuel on Monday February 12th, 2018

Top Center Options: Joel Embiid

Mid-Tier Center Options: DeAndre Jordan & Rudy Gobert

Fantasy Sleeper Options: Kyle O’Quinn

Now you might be wondering why I left both Anthony Davis and Andre Drummond off of my list of options tonight. While we love the potential, the head to head matchup and their expected usage rate has me worried a little tonight. That said if you are looking at cash lineups both are solid options. For us though, Embiid has a solid matchup against a Knicks team he destroyed back on Christmas Day (25 points & 16 rebounds). Along with Embiid, Jordan looks like a smart play tonight against a Nets team that ranks 1st in DVP against the center position. On the low end, O’Quinn should still be an option DFS owners look at as his value continues to sit under the $5k mark.

Can the Suns keep it close tonight to allow DFS owners to cash in on Curry and Durant?

NBA FanDuel Lineup for Thursday February 8th 2018

The NBA Schedule looks promising tonight with a six game slate for DFS owners to take advantage of. That said tonight’s schedule looks pretty interesting early on with a few key question marks surrounding a few of the NBA’s top fantasy stars. One of those stars is Russell Westbrook who suffered an ankle injury in the teams last contest while Kevin Durant continues to deal with a hand injury

While Durant looks like he still is in line to get the start tonight, Westbrook may be the one key injury that could throw a big wrench in the game planning for every DFS owner tonight. If the Oklahoma City Thunder elect to give Westbrook the night off against the lackluster Los Angeles Lakers, the list of top tier fantasy options shortens. For now we expect to see both in the lineup but strongly recommend monitoring the injury reports throughout the day up to the 7pm ET lock.

Before we take a look at our Fantasy Sleepers and Fantasy Basketball Options for DFS owners to consider tonight, here is a quick look at the six games on the NBA Schedule for Thursday February 8th, 2018.

NBA Schedule for Thursday February 8th, 2018

Atlanta Hawks @ Orlando Magic
New York Knicks @ Toronto Raptors
Boston Celtics @ Washington Wizards
Charlotte Hornets @ Portland Trailblazers
Dallas Mavericks @ Golden State Warriors
Oklahoma City Thunder @ Los Angeles Lakers

Now that we know who else is in action around the NBA tonight, let’s take a look at our Fanduel Fantasy Sleepers for DFS owners to take advantage of tonight.

NBA FanDuel Fantasy Sleepers for Thursday February 8th, 2018

Raymond Felton ($3,500) & Alex Abrines ($4,000)

Now for these two DFS options tonight it will all come down to whether or not Westbrook is active for tonight’s contest. If Westbrook is ruled out we expect to see both Felton’s and Abrines minutes to increase. While Abrines has seen at least 23 minutes in four straight games, the increased opportunity to score will be present without the Thunder’s best playmaker on the floor. Meanwhile for Felton over his last five games with at least 16 minutes, he has posted three 20 plus fantasy performances.

Khem Birch ($4,100)

Another interesting name to consider tonight is Birch who could see additional minutes as Aaron Gordon continues to miss time. In the Magic’s last contest against the Cavaliers, Birch posted eight points, five rebounds in route to a sold 20.5 point fantasy performance.

Other fantasy sleepers/bargains to consider includePascal Siakam, Marcus Morris, Marcin Gortat, Tyler Dorsey & Kyle O’Quinn.

That said here are the NBA Daily Fantasy Basketball options we like for Thursday February 8th, 2018

Point Guards Options for FanDuel on Thursday February 8th, 2018

Top Point Guard Options: Russell Westbrook (Injury), Steph Curry & Damian Lillard

Mid-Tier Point Guard Options: Elfrid Payton & Dennis Schroder

Fantasy Sleeper Options: Tyler Dorsey & Raymond Felton

The big question of the day is whether or not Westbrook suits up tonight against the Lakers. While he is still a top option on the court this evening if he suits up, if he is out it leaves DFS owners looking for another top option to build around. That said a combination of Curry and Lillard would look like a nice stack while saving additional cap space at both center and power forward Along with those two options, Payton and Schroder will face off in Atlanta in a contest that could see both options posting 40 plus fantasy points. The Magic enter this contest ranked 7th in DVP against the position over the past month while the Hawks sit at 5th. On the fantasy sleeper side Felton is a solid option if Westbrook is out while Dorsey continues to put together solid contests when he sees 20 plus minutes.

Shooting Guard Options for FanDuel on Thursday February 8th, 2018

Top Shooting Guard Options: DeMar DeRozan & Bradley Beal

Mid-Tier Shooting Guard Options: Kent Bazemore, Wesley Matthews & CJ McCollum

Fantasy Sleeper Options: Alex Abrines & Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

While tonight’s NBA Schedule is solid it lacks a top tier fantasy option DFS owners will be looking for. That said both DeRozan and Beal have shown at times this season they can put together big contests the big concern has been their lack of 6-7 time performances. Beal enters tonight with just two contests over 50 fantasy points over his last ten contests while DeRozan has zero. This makes it difficult for us to look at them for GPP contests while opening up the door for us to save some salary cap space. One option that is well worth the look is fantasy sleeper Abrines who has seen the floor for at least 23 minutes in four straight and could see additional minutes tonight against a Lakers team that ranks 8th in DVP against the position. Meanwhile all three of our mid tier options are worth building around as Bazemore looks to take advantage of a Magic team that has struggled against shooting guards (2nd in DVP). Matthews and McCollum also have matchups against two teams that rank 3rd and 4th in DVP against the position over the past month.

Small Forward Options for FanDuel on Thursday February 8th, 2018

Top Small Forward Options: Kevin Durant & Paul George

Mid-Tier Small Forward Options: Mario Hezonja, Jayson Tatum & Otto Porter

Fantasy Sleeper Options: Jeremy Lamb & Kelly Oubre Jr

The small forward position will all come down to the injury reports later in the day as both top options Durant and George will be affected. For DFS owners looking to build around Durant only time will tell if he gets the night off as he continues to deal with his hand injury Meanwhile owners looking to ride George will have to wait to see if Westbrook will suit up. If Westbrook is out of the lineup tonight, George will be a solid lock for both cash and GPP lineups. That said, the small forward position is also a position with some solid options that can save you some cash. One of those options is Porter who has been solid at times with Wall out of the lineup. Entering tonight, Porter has topped the 40 plus fantasy mark in two of his last six contests while adding three 32 plus fantasy point performances over the same stretch. Other mid tier options include Hezonja who could see extended minutes against a Hawks team that ranks 3rd in DVP against the postion.

Power Forward Options for FanDuel on Thursday February 8th, 2018

Top Power Forward Options: N/A

Mid-Tier Power Forward Options: Markieff Morris, Jerami Grant, Serge Ibaka & John Collins

Fantasy Sleeper Options: Pascal Siakam, Patrick Patterson & Marcus Morris

Now the one position for us tonight that has the biggest question marks is the power forward position who lacks a true top tier threat. Add that with the fact that Aaron Gordon will miss another contest and Draymond Green could potentially take the night off opens up the door for other options. Two players we are keeping our eyes on are the Morris brothers who will look to face off in Washington DC tonight. The Wizards Morris has been solid with Wall out posting over 32 fantasy points in five of seven contests. Along with the brothers, it will be hard to look past two sets of teammates. The first set is Ibaka and Siakam who will look to take advantage of a Knicks defense that has been shredded by power forwards (1st in DVP over the past month), while Grand and Patterson could be in line for big time minutes if Anthony is out as well as Westbrook.

Center Options for FanDuel on Thursday February 8th, 2018

Top Center Options: Dwight Howard

Mid-Tier Center Options: Steven Adams, Julius Randle & Al Horford

Fantasy Sleeper Options: Marcin Gortat & Kyle O’Quinn

Could tonight be the night DFS owners look to gamble with a sleeper at the center position? For us the options are less than stellar with Howard looking as the top option but one that could see a ton of usage around the GPP landscape as well as cash leagues. One option we really like is Adams who could see additional opportunities with either Westbrook or Anthony out tonight. Meanwhile both Randle and Horford have had some success against their opponents tonight as each posted 35 plus fantasy performances in their last meetings. On the lower side if you elect to load up at the guard positions you could save with a guy like O’Quinn who will take over as one of the Knicks main big man.

Will tonight’s NBA schedule deliver us some big time fireworks or just a long night of basketball?

NBA FanDuel Lineup for Friday February 2nd 2018

The NBA Schedule is action packed to kick off what looks to be an exciting weekend for DFS owners. Tonight’s schedule features a nine-game slate presenting DFS owners a ton of options to build around. At the top of the list the top options include Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant.

While all three of those options are worth building around, one option that could present an interesting dilemma for DFS owners tonight is Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Milwaukee Bucks star suffered an injury late the teams Thursday Night contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. If the Greek Freak suits up the big question mark is how effective he will be, if he is out it opens up the door for someone like Khris Middleton and Tony Snell to put together big-time fantasy performances.

Before we take a look at our Fantasy Sleepers and Fantasy Basketball Options for DFS owners to consider tonight, here is a quick look at the nine games on the NBA Schedule for Friday February 2nd, 2018.

NBA Schedule for Thursday February 2nd, 2018

Indiana Pacers @ Charlotte Hornets
Portland Trailblazers @ Toronto Raptors
Atlanta Hawks @ Boston Celtics
Los Angeles Lakers @ Brooklyn Nets
New York Knicks @ Milwaukee Bucks
Miami Heat @ Philadelphia 76ers
New Orleans Pelicans @ Oklahoma City Thunder
Utah Jazz @ Phoenix Suns
Golden State Warriors @ Sacramento Kings

Now that we know who else is in action around the NBA tonight, let’s take a look at our Fanduel Fantasy Sleepers for DFS owners to take advantage of tonight.

NBA FanDuel Fantasy Sleepers for Friday February 2nd, 2018

Tony Snell ($4,000)

While Snell is a big time gamble any night of the week he will be well worth the gamble tonight in GPP lineups with the current roster situation in Milwaukee. Currently the Bucks could be without multiple options tonight as Eric Bledsoe, Malcolm Brogdon and even Giannis Antetokounmpo all could be out of the lineup tonight. This should open up the for Snell and Matthew Dellavedova to see extended minutes on Friday Night.

Ed Davis ($4,600)

Much like Snell, the Portland Trailblazers power forward could benefit from an injury situation to see extended minutes tonight. For the Trailblazers Jusuf Nurkic is battling a quad injury that forced him to leave the teams contest early on Wednesday. In his last five contests with at least 20 minutes on the floor Davis has rewarded his DFS owners with three 30 plus fantasy performances and two contests with at least 25 points.

Other fantasy sleepers/bargains to consider include Frank Kaminsky, Quincy Acy, Joe Ingles, Kosta Koufos (Monitor Team’s Injury Report) & Lance Stephenson.

That said here are the NBA Daily Fantasy Basketball options we like for Friday February 2nd, 2018

Point Guards Options for FanDuel on Friday February 2nd, 2018

Top Point Guard Options: Russell Westbrook & Steph Curry

Mid-Tier Point Guard Options: Terry Rozier, Ricky Rubio & Darren Collison

Fantasy Sleeper Options: Matthew Dellavedova & George Hill

The money is all in on the top group of top tier options taking to the floor tonight at the point guard position. For us it will be hard not to consider building your FanDuel lineups around either Westbrook or Curry, while stacking them also is a solid option. Westbrook enters Friday Night red hot posting at least 60 fantasy points in five of his last seven games. Meanwhile, Curry despite a disappointing performance a few nights ago, Curry has been one of the more consistent options posting over 40 fantasy points in five of his last seven contests. Along with these two options both Damian Lillard and Kyle Lowry are worth taking a look at. Rolling down our list, if you are looking for a few cheaper options you could consider Rubio who will face off against a Suns team that ranks 5th in DVP against the point guard position, while someone like Hill will have additional opportunities against a Warriors team that likes to move the ball up and down the floor.

Shooting Guard Options for FanDuel on Friday February 2nd, 2018

Top Shooting Guard Options: DeMar DeRozan

Mid-Tier Shooting Guard Options: Donovan Mitchell, Khris Middleton & Jordan Clarkson

Fantasy Sleeper Options: Tony Snell, Jeremy Lamb & Courtney Lee

When you’re looking at the shooting guard position tonight you could consider going a few different directions including stacking heavy with a combination of Mitchell, DeRozan and even someone like Jrue Holliday. For us though our top option at the position tonight is Mitchell who will be facing off against a Suns team that ranks 1st in DVP against the shooting guard position. Meanwhile another strong candidate to consider tonight at the shooting guard position is Khris Middleton who could be the Bucks main weapon on both sides of the floor tonight if Bledsoe, the Greek Freak and Malcolm Brogdon all miss action. Meanwhile, Middleton’s teammate Snell should see an uptick in minutes tonight something we like as we look for our DFS options in GPP tournaments.

Small Forward Options for FanDuel on Friday February 2nd, 2018

Top Small Forward Options: Kevin Durant

Mid-Tier Small Forward Options: TJ Warren, Josh Richardson & Jaylen Brown

Fantasy Sleeper Options: Allen Crabbe & Lance Stephenson

DFS owners will play the wait and see game today to see how the progress of the Greek Freak plays out. For us we expect the Bucks star to be out based on previous reports indicating he was having a difficult time putting weight on it after the game. That said the small forward position still has a few solid options including Durant. The Warriors small forward has been consistent for DFS owners looking to cash in on cash lineups. That said, tonight he will have a chance against a Kings team that ranks 9th in DVP against opposing small forwards. Along with Durant, we like the options available in the mid-tier range as Richardson faces off against a 76ers team that has ranked 4th in DVP against the position over the past month while Brown gets a shot at a Hawks defense that ranks 2nd against the position.

Power Forward Options for FanDuel on Friday February 2nd, 2018

Top Power Forward Options: Anthony Davis

Mid-Tier Power Forward Options: Derrick Favors, Carmelo Anthony, Zach Randolph & Draymond Green

Fantasy Sleeper Options: Quincy Acy

The easiest FanDuel option of the night for DFS owners will come from the power forward position as Davis looks to be a sure lock for us tonight. The Pelicans big man will now look to take over the role down low while picking up the slack left behind with Cousins out of the lineup. Davis enters tonight’s contest with two 60 plus fantasy performances over his last three games and four games with at least 59 fantasy points over his last five overall. Along with Davis the options are there at the power forward position as five of the top six teams in DVP against power forward are in action. This opened up the door for Favors who will face off against the Suns (1st in DVP), Anthony (2nd in DVP) while Randolph and Green will square off. Meanwhile with Rondae Hollis-Jefferson expected to be out, Acy should benefit from the minute increase and the fact he faces a Lakers team that is 6th in DVP against the position.

Center Options for FanDuel on Friday February 2nd, 2018

Top Center Options: Dwight Howard

Mid-Tier Center Options: Al Horford, Julius Randle & Enes Kanter

Fantasy Sleeper Options: Kosta Koufous & Bam Adebayo

No DeMarcus Cousins for the rest of the season will leave DFS owners looking for another top option at the Center position. For us we like Howard tonight as a consistent option who has posted at least 50 fantasy points in four of his last six games. Add that to the fact he faces a Pacers team that ranks 2nd on the year in DVP against the position makes him a solid option. Meanwhile, the mid-tier level might be the better play tonight to free up some cash. Horford will look to take advantage of a very bad Hawks team (3rd in DVP). Meanwhile Randle and Kanter will face off against teams that have struggled against centers this season. Randle in a previous matchup against the Nets posted 10 points to go with six rebounds, two assists and a block in just 16 total minutes. On the gamble side someone like Koufous is worth the risk as Willie Cauley-Stein continues to deal with a knee injury.

Can Russell Westbrook reward his DFS owners with another 60 point performance, will Tony Snell step up with the Greek Freak out of the lineup.
