Strategies
The NBA top fantasy stars return in tonight’s six game lineup to help FanDuel owners cash in on. That list of stars includes Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, LeBron James, Paul George and Kevin Durant. The top over/under line of the night features the Golden State Warriors heading to Indiana to take on the Pacers sitting at 216.
That being said the big question is which of these superstars should we elect to pair together to form that winning lineup? Our first idea was to team up Curry and George together as both stars will look to outduel each other as they square off tonight in Indiana.

Then that would mean passing up on LeBron James who was giving the night off on Saturday and should be full rested. James dropped 56.4 fantasy points in his last outing against the New Orleans Pelicans. Then we could look to team up Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant as they teamed up to score 80 fantasy points in their last contest against the Sacramento Kings.
In the end the biggest question of the night is which FanDuel Bargains and Sleepers should we go to build the best lineup?
Here is our NBA FanDuel Lineup for Tuesday December 8th, 2015.
PG – Jarrett Jack ($6,100): We couldn’t justify ourselves to invest nearly $22k on two point guards. Jack has been consistent for most of the season including posting at least 20 fantasy points in seven of his last ten games. You could even go cheaper with someone line Trey Burke to save even more money for the cap.
PG – Stephen Curry ($10,900): We expect tonights Pacers/Warriors game to match that high scoring number Vegas has slated on it. In the end we could use Curry every night of the week without needing a key reason.
SG – Joe Johnson ($5,400): Johnson might not be James Harden but the Brooklyn Nets will need scorers to keep up with that Rockets tonight. Johnson isn’t the player he once was but he has shown he can finish with 20-25 fantasy points on a night in and night out basis.
SG – C.J. McCollum ($7,000): The Trailblazers shooting guard host posted at least 33 fantasy points in three straight games. Look for McCollum to put up some solid fantasy numbers against the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight despite being one of two games to feature an over/under of under 200 points.
SF – C.J. Miles ($5,200): Miles has been one of those gamble plays who could reward you with a big game from time to time. That being said the Pacers will need someone other than George to post some numbers if they want to keep up with the Warriors tonight so Miles is worth the gamble.
SF – Trevor Ariza ($6,100): Ariza has been up and down for most of the season but we have elected to go with the hot hand. Entering tonight Ariza has posted games of 33.7 and 29.7 fantasy points for his fantasy owners.
PF – Ed Davis ($4,900): Looking to save a few bucks we elected to go with the Portland Trailblazers power forward. Davis has posted at least 22 fantasy points in five games including two 30 plus fantasy performances over his last three games.
PF – Kenneth Faried ($6,300): Only concern with Faried tonight is whether or not we see him get more minutes tonight. Faried finished with 26.8 in his last game but only played 22 minutes. If those minutes tick upwards of 30 tonight we expect a 35 plus performance from the Denver Nuggets power forward.
C – Marc Gasol ($8,100): Gasol has been solid over his last four games posting no fewer than 32 fantasy points. Tonight the Memphis Grizzlies square off against an Oklahoma City Thunder team that likes to move the ball up and down the court.
