Strategies
The chance for another payday has arrived as the NBA is delivering a five game slate to build our FanDuel lineups around tonight. All five of those games look good on paper giving us a few key options including shooting guard James Harden, center DeMarcus Cousins and power forward Anthony Davis.
The three combined to post 212.5 fantasy points the last time they took the floor including a season high 89 points from Davis. That being said combining the three in any roster would take up $32,100 of our possible $60k salary. A move that would only give us $27,900 to spend on the remaining six players for our team.

While we would consider using the three the only chance to make it work is to find enough FanDuel Bargains to make it work. One of those options is point guard Brandon Jennings who has revived himself as a solid fantasy option since being traded to the Orlando Magic. Jennings has posted back to back games with 25 minutes while posting over 25 fantasy points in each contest.
Here are a few FanDuel Bargains under $5k that are solid options tonight.
Maurice Harkless ($4,400): Harkless has been on a tear in four of his last five games including three with at least 26 fantasy points and a high of 40.1 fantasy points.
PF – Trevor Booker ($3,700): The Utah Jazz power forward continues to get at least 20 minutes a game while providing at least 17 fantasy points in three straight games.
SG – Gary Harris ($4,700): Looking at a cheap option at shooting guard to compliment Harden landed us with Harris. Harris has posted at least 21 fantasy points in four straight games.
Et Voila! Here is our NBA FanDuel lineup for Tuesday February 23rd, 2016.
PG – Brandon Jennings ($3,900): We are going to ride Jennings recent success since joining the Magic. Jennings has seen the floor for 25 minutes in back to back games while posting at least 25 fantasy points.
PG – Ishmael Smith ($6,500): Despite his lackluster performance in his last outing, we expect Smith to bounce back tonight. The Philadelphia 76ers point guard consistently gets 30 minutes a game while posting at least 30 fantasy points in five of his last ten games.
SG – James Harden ($10,900): We could have gone cheaper here to allow us to go with DeMarcus Cousins. In the end Harden is riding three straight games with at least 55 fantasy points making him a solid start.
SG – Gary Harris ($4,700): Harris is a solid fantasy option under $5k that we have elected to go forward with tonight Harris has posted at least 21 fantasy points in four straight games for his fantasy owners.
SF – Maurice Harkless ($4,400): Looking at cheap options landed us with Harkless for tonight. The Portland Trailblazers small forward has posted at least 26 fantasy points in four of the last five games.
SF – Danilo Gallinari ($7,100): We tossed around a few names at the small forward position but it was difficult to pass on the Nuggets small forward. Gallinari has not posted at least less than 20 fantasy points in his last ten games while posting at least 40 fantasy points in three of those contests.
PF – Anthony Davis ($10,300): Davis might be the most used fantasy option tonight after his 89 point fantasy performance. One cheaper option is to go with Aaron Gordon to free up additional salary to go with Cousins or John Wall at the point guard position.
PF – Trevor Booker ($3,700): Booker is a deep fantasy sleeper for us tonight against the Houston Rockets. The Jazz power forward has posted at least 17 fantasy points in three straight games.
C – Nikola Vucevic ($8,300): While Cousins is our top option we like Vucevic as our back up option. The Orlando Magic center has posted lat least 32 fantsay points in five straight games including two contests with at least 41 fantasy points.
Now if you are looking for a high risk, high reward lineup built around the big three here is our lineup.
PG – Brandon Jennings ($3,900) & Shelvin Mack ($3,700)
SG – James Harden ($10,900) & Wayne Ellington ($3,800)
SF – Maurice Harkless ($4,400) & Gordon Hayward ($7,600)
PF – Anthony Davis ($10,300) & Trevor Booker ($3,700)
C – DeMarcus Cousins ($10,900)
