Well, Nikola Mirotic and Rodney Hood ruined what could have been a great FanDuel GPP lineup last night! Frustrating to say the least! Today’s slate is much larger and I will be running a cash lineup tonight. I don’t have much time to write up my analysis today, so it’ll be quick blurbs. Also, I will be off the grid this weekend, I’ll be camping and I’ll have no internet nor phone access, so I won’t be posting for the Sunday & Monday slate. My Saturday column will appear on FantasyPros.com though, so look for that…
PG John Wall, Wizards $9500
Wall has been good to start the season and has cut down on his turnovers in each game this year. With Marcus Smart expected to miss the game and Isaiah Thomas expected to start in his place, Wall should have another 45-plus fanduel point game.
PG Jeff Teague, Hawks $7400
First off, I hate rostering Teague. He always seems to burn me. So why roster him? Well, my cash game lineups haven’t been so great this year, I’ve had more luck with my GPP lineups. As the saying goes, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result”, so I’m going outside of my personal box to break my cash game slump. *Note* You can upgrade to Kyle Lowry without changing anything, and I might lean that way before tip but Teague was my first choice and I hate changing my gut feel.
SG Eric Bledsoe, Suns $8100
Sticking with the theme of doing something different, Bledsoe is another guy I hate rostering. He has always been so inconsistent, having one of the lowest floors for a player that has a very high ceiling. hoping for the ceiling tonight.
SG Nik Stauskas, 76ers $3900
With the extra minutes he has been getting, he has been able to git value easily. He only needs to get you 20 Fanduel points tonight and should no issue doing so.
SF Rudy Gay, Kings $7700
It’s a perfect storm for Gay in this one. First, DeMarcus Cousins will be out again so he will be looked at to carry the team offensively. Two, Houston is bottom five against the shooting guard position. And finally, Dwight Howard is out as well, so Houston’s rim protector won’t be there to change shots.
SF Jae Crowder, Celtics $4700

Inexplicably Crowder is less expensive than Evan Turner despite starting over him and outplaying him, he won’t remain this cheap for long. The Wizards are second worst against opposing small forwards thus far this season, setting up Crowder for a good game.
PF Luis Scola, Pacers $4400
Scola has continued to be one of the better values at power forward in this young NBA season. His production was down in the game against OKC, but he didn’t get a full complement of minutes. Expect him to get more minutes tonight against the Magic that will be without Nikola Vucevic, meaning more rebounding opportunities for Scola.
PF Aaron Gordon, Magic $4100
Gordon will be picking up a bunch of minutes with Vucevic out of the lineup, and was very productive in his last game when receiving the extra workload scoring 31 fanduel points.
C Andre Drummond, $9300
Drummond has been nothing short of dominant so far this season and I don’t expect that to change. Still priced under 10K despite scoring fantasy points at a very high clip.
That’s it for today, good luck tonight!
