Building The Perfect NBA FanDuel Lineup For Feb. 25

Once again, it's another exciting Super Wednesday on FanDuel with a total of 12 games to select players from. There are many avenues that one can take to build the perfect lineup for tonight, and I would like to show you one of those ways. Please remember to stay abreast of all NBA news up until tip-off to avoid suffering the late scratch blues. With that being said, let's get to work and start building the perfect NBA FanDuel lineup for Feb. 25.

9. (PG) Chris Paul - Los Angeles Clippers - $10,000

There are two games tonight that have an over/under that exceeds 210 points, and the matchup between the Los Angeles Clippers and Houston Rockets is one of them. Therefore, I will be having some exposure to that game, and it starts with CP3. Even though Patrick Beverley is an elite PG defender, Chris Paul averages 37.5 fantasy points against him, and he had Blake Griffin around to lighten the offensive load. Tonight, I like Paul for 40-plus.

8. (PG) Ricky Rubio - Minnesota Timberwolves - $6,900

Over his last three games, Ricky Rubio has averaged 39.4 fantasy points and he has a better matchup than it seems against the Washington Wizards tonight. Although they're ranked 12th against PGs over the course of the season, they've actually been ranked between 25th and 27th over their last three to five games. This is a really good spot for Rubio to eclipse the 30-fantasy point mark for his fourth straight game and I feel he will score 35-plus.

7. (SG) Kevin Martin - Minnesota Timberwolves - $6,800

Over his last five games, Kevin Martin has averaged 32.1 fantasy points which is only 1.9 points under the production he needs to justify his price. He has a great chance of exceeding his value tonight against the Washington Wizards who, without Bradley Beal, can't seem to stop any SGs lately. This bodes well for K-Mart to score at least 28 with legitimate 35-plus upside. I feel that he and Rubio will put on a show for the home crowd tonight.

6. (SG) Avery Bradley - Boston Celtics - $5,800

With Jared Sullinger done for the season, the go-to scoring option for the Boston Celtics has fallen into the seemingly capable hands of Avery Bradley. Over his last three games, the former Texas Longhorn has averaged an insane 43.1 fantasy points while needing to score 29 in order to make value. Tonight, he gets to face the New York Knicks, and I don't feel I should have to say anymore than that. Bradley should have no issues scoring 30-plus.

5. (SF) Trevor Ariza - Houston Rockets - $5,700

Trevor Ariza will be my second helping of exposure to what should be a high-scoring affair between the Houston Rockets and L.A. Clippers. It's well known, at least to daily fantasy players, that the Clippers are pretty deficient at defending SFs, and they haven't shown any signs of recent improvement. Over the last three games, they've allowed 21.7 PPG and an insane 15.3 RPG to SFs. This bodes well for Ariza to score between 28 and 34 tonight.

4. (SF) P.J. Tucker - Phoenix Suns - $4,900

The other game with an over/under that exceeds 210 points tonight is the matchup between the Phoenix Suns and the Denver Nuggets. Therefore, it would be crazy not to have some exposure to this game as well. I will start my exposure with a great value play in P.J. Tucker who has been averaging 27.5 fantasy points over his last five games. Denver has been atrocious against SFs lately which bodes well for Tucker to score at least 25 to make value.

3. (PF) Pau Gasol - Chicago Bulls - $9,300

Pau Gasol has already proven to be an excellent addition for the Chicago Bulls and has been a double-double machine the entire season. With Derrick Rose slated to miss the remainder of the season due to a torn meniscus, Gasol will probably have to shoulder an even heavier offensive load than he already does. This bodes well tonight against a Charlotte Hornets team that's been horrible against opposing PFs. I like him for 40-plus tonight.

2. (PF) Terrence Jones - Houston Rockets - $5,600

Terrence Jones will be my third serving in regards to exposure to the Clippers and Rockets matchup. Over his last three games, in which he's received at least 24 minutes of court time, Jones has averaged 32.7 fantasy points, and he has a great matchup tonight against a Blake Griffin-less Clippers team. He needs to score 28 in order to justify his price, and I really like his chances of eclipsing 30 for the third time in his last four games.

With $ 5,000 left, I'm going to have double exposure to what should be a very high-scoring affair between the Suns and Nuggets. Ever since Miles Plumlee got shipped off to Milwaukee, Alex Len has seen his minutes increase along with his production. Over his past three games, he's averaged 31.4 fantasy points, and Denver hasn't been defending centers well lately. Len should have no problems scoring 25, and I feel he will eclipse 30 tonight.
