Happy Halloween! Hope everyone had a good night in the FanDuel world last night. Unfortunately, my cash lineup from yesterday didn’t fair to well. Fading the Thunder/Magic game proved to be my downfall. The only plus for me last night is my GPP lineup snuck into the bottom of a few contests so I ended up breaking even on the night. Today I will be posting a mini post which will be my cash game lineup again. My full-blown NBA article can be found on FantasyPros.com on Saturday’s, you can click here to see it. I haven’t finished building my cash lineup just yet, you can check back later today for that.

Update

As promised I’m going to give you my cash lineup for tonight’s slate. My strategy tonight on a short slate is too pack my lineup with as many studs as I can. In a cash game on a short slate you really only need one of your studs to go nuts to cash out, so owning as many as you can increases your chances that one of them does. On larger slates, I play it safe, but not tonight:

NBA DFS Fanduel Lineup for 10/31/15

PG Steph Curry, Warriors $10400

Kicking off my lineup with my first of three studs in this lineup. He had 60 fanduel points against them in the opener and he’ll flirt with 50 tonight.

PG Rajon Rondo, Kings $5100

Rondo looked like the Rondo of old last night, granted it was against the lowly Lakers and Chris Paul is a lock down defender, but he looked good nonetheless. Rondo fits Geroge Karl’s system well as he is able to push the ball down the court and find guys wide open in transition. If the Kings can keep the pace of the game at a high tempo, Paul’s man-to-man defense will be nullified somewhat. This Kings team was reported very upset after their season-opening loss to these same Clippers, and that’s something we aren’t used to hearing from a team that in the past seemed to just accept losing as the way it was supposed to be, expect them to be high energy tonight.

SG Rodney Hood, Jazz $4300

He has been a popular value pick over the first few games of the season but hasn’t really been what everyone was hoping for as of yet. Up to this point, I hadn’t been on board with him, but I have a feeling tonight will be the night he puts up a good game. The Pacers are giving up the second-most fantasy points to opposing shooting guards, and at $4300 he only needs to give you just over 20 to hit value. I’m expecting 30-plus.

SG Eric Gordon, Pelicans $5300

Gordon has had to shoulder the load in term of scoring from the guard position due to a number of injuries the Pelicans have had in the backcourt. He is also getting big minutes and as long as he can stay healthy, will be a great value in DFS. Playing at home tonight I’m expecting Gordon to have a big game.

SF Harrison Barnes, Warriors $4600

Barnes has been solid over the first few games and any player on an offense like the Warriors have, he will always have value. Barnes is a good stat stuffer at the small forward position as evidenced by his nine rebounds in the first meeting between these two teams. If he can knock down a few wide open threes he can surpass value easily.

SF Otto Porter, Wizards $5400

He has been decent so far this year as a starter and should have a good game versus a Knicks team not known for his defense. He should easily reach value tonight.

PF Anthony Davis, Pelicans $11,100

I’m going to the well once more despite not getting any water the last two times. Davis hasn’t been what I thought he would be in this offense…yet. I think tonight in the Pels home opener he will show everyone why he is the next “best player in the game”, and he should be in your lineup.

PF Blake Griffin, Clippers $10000

Two games over 40 Fanduel points, including a 46.6 effort against these same Kings just a few nights ago and he had better be in your lineup. He should easily get over 40 again tonight and I’m expecting closer to 50.

C Kosta Koufos, Kings $3700

Now coming off the bench Koufos has been able to take advantage of the other teams second unit. A versatile, stat-stuffing big man coming off the bench is a good luxury to have, and if there is anyone that can get the most out of a player like that, it’s George Karl. At only $3700 he needs 15 fanduel points to reach value, a number he has surpassed easily in his first two games.

There you have it guys, my NBA DFS FanDuel cash lineup for 10/31/15. Happy Halloween and good luck tonight!
