Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins have their eyes set on a big night, not only on the court for their teams but on FanDuel as well for your fantasy basketball league. Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans welcome the Philadelphia 76ers to town. Meanwhile in New York the Knicks host Cousins and the Sacramento Kings. Each of these matchups is set for big time fantasy performances going up against two of the worst teams in the NBA.

As we start to break down all of the matchups we start with Davis against the 76ers. The 76ers have struggled for most of the season against opposing power forwards. Currently the 76ers are allowing the fourth most fantasy points to the position with over 40 fantasy points a game for the season. Those numbers have jumped up to 45 fantasy points over their last five games.

For Cousins he has a very similar situation going up against the Knicks tonight. Despite picking up some wins of late the Knicks have been dominated by the big man of late. Over their last ten games they are allowing league high 57.6 fantasy points to the center position. The Knicks recently allowed Nikola Vucevic to record 34 pints to go with 18 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one blocked shot.

Here is our complete FanDuel lineup for tonight.

PG- Langston Galloway ($4,800): Galloway is a solid option tonight at the point guard position and the value increases if Jose Calderon misses a second straight game. In his last four games Galloway has posted four straight games over 20 fantasy points along with two 31 point performances.

PG – Mo Williams ($5,800): The Timberwolves point guard has had his ups and downs over the past few weeks but his potential to put up over 30 fantasy points is high. This includes four contests in his last ten games he has been able to eclipse the mark.

SG – J.J. Redick ($4,700): Redick has a great matchup tonight against the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets are allowing 42.8 fantasy points a game to the shooting guard position over the teams last five games making Redick a great value play.

SG – Ben McLemore ($4,200): We love the Kings tonight against the Knicks in return could have yielded a few fantasy plays tonight. McLemore gives us a great value at $4,200 allowing us to splurge on three of the games top fantasy stars. While we would love to see more 20 plus point games the Kings shooting guard has the potential on any night.

SF – Kevin Durant ($10,600): Durant is one of our big three tonight going up against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The same Timberwolves team that sits atop the NBA in fantasy points allowed to the small forward position. This was an easy fantasy play at the positon for us to make.

SF – Lance Thomas ($4,000): While Thomas’s value increases if Carmelo Anthony is out he was able to put up 29.8 fantasy points with him in the lineup against the Orlando Magic. This is a FanDuel Bargain play with not as many other solid options this cheap at the position.

PF – Anthony Davis ($11,000): After missing three straight games, Davis is slowly returning to form posting over 40 fantasy points in three straight. The only concern tonight is whether or not the Pelicans might rest the star since the team played yesterday. Monitor this through the day and before the start. If he is ruled out considering going with Blake Griffin or Derrick Favors then slotting the savings to one of the cheaper plays.

PF – Aaron Gordon ($3,500): The Magics power forward was inserted into the starting spot on Sunday making him a nice cheap option. Despite the start Gordon only recorded 15 fantasy points but his minutes should start to increase as we saw him jump from 13 to 21 minutes in his last two games.

C – DeMarcus Cousins ($11,100): Cousins is an anchor in most fantasy lineups for us since he has been so consistent this season. This includes three sixty point fantasy performances over his team’s last ten games.
