The 2015-16 NBA All-Star game is just a few days away leaving us just one more night before the break begins to cash in on FanDuel. The downside is tonight we have a very limited selection pool that features only a two game NBA with both of them tipping off at 8pm et.

While many FanDuel owners resist building lineups around just four teams we like the opportunity. This Is where we as daily fantasy owners have to get creative to build just the right lineup as everyone will be going to the big names and the top fantasy stars.

That being said tonight’s lineup of games features a few top tier fantasy options to consider as well as the potential to build around two or three of them. The first game features the Washington Wizards traveling to Milwaukee to take on the Bucks while the New Orleans Pelicans travel to Oklahoma City to take on the Thunder.

For us tonight we are deciding if we want to use two or three of the top stars from these teams. Those FanDuel options feature Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, John Wall and Anthony Davis. Along with the top four some of the other solid options include Greg Monroe and even Jrue Holiday.

Here is our NBA FanDuel lineup for Thursday February 11th, 2016.

PG – John Wall ($10,400): The Wizards point guard has been on a tear of late posting at least 50 fantasy points in three of his last four games and four his last six games. We could debate going cheaper than Wall or Westbrook but the numbers don’t lie.

PG – Russell Westbrook ($11,000): All you have to do is look at Westbrook’s fantasy number. One cheaper fantasy option is Jerryd Bayless for the Bucks who would cost only $4,100 but has played at least 30 minutes in two of the last three games.

SG – O.J. Mayo ($3,800): Looking for a few deep fantasy sleeper options led us to the Bucks shooting guard. After missing eleven straight games, Mayo was inserted into the starting lineup in his return. Mayo is a deep fantasy sleeper who could reward us with a big time payout if he can find a way to put together a big game.

SG – Bryce Jones ($3,500): This is one of the high risk high reward type fantasy play that could deliver us some big time money. Jones should be in the starting lineup tonight as Tyreke Evans continues to battle a knee injury.

SF – Kevin Durant ($10,700): Anytime Durant and his teammate Westbrook takes to the floor they are almost guaranteed to be in our FanDuel lineup. Tonight is no different as Durant is a must start option against the Pelicans tonight.

SF – Giannis Antetokounmpo ($7,300): We have constructed this lineup around a few of the top fantasy options and the Bucks small forward is a strong option. Since we are limited at the shooting guard position we felt we needed to go with the top two options.

PF – Jared Dudley ($4,600): We would love to be able to stack four big time fantasy options with Davis but the salary cap numbers don’t allow for this to happen. That leaves us to find a few cheaper options we elected to go with Dudley but we also considered Jabari Parker as well.

PF – Dante Cunningham ($3,500): When we elected to go with the top three fantasy options to build our lineup around we needed to find a few deep fantasy sleepers. One of those options is Cunningham who has not put up big time fantasy numbers but he has played 29, 29, 31 and 32 minutes over the past four games.

C – Steven Adams ($4,300): Looking for options working around a tight budget limited us to only a few options. That is where Adams comes into play as the Thunder’s center is nearly guaranteed 25 minutes a game on a team that likes to move the ball up and down the floor.

In the end tonight is a chance to take home one of those top prizes but built around a high risk lineup.
