Here’s how to build the perfect NBA FanDuel lineup for Feb. 25 (main slate).
PG - Jrue Holiday - New Orleans Pelicans - $7,700
Getty ImagesThe Oklahoma City Thunder have been letting bad teams hang around in games this season, particularly on the road. New Orleans will lose this game, but Jrue Holiday will put forth an exceptional effort.
PG - Isaiah Thomas - Boston Celtics - $8,200
Getty ImagesThe Milwaukee Bucks have been solid against point guards this season, but Isaiah Thomas is essentially matchup proof. He should finish with right around 5x value in a high-scoring affair.
SG - Evan Fournier - Orlando Magic - $5,500
Getty ImagesEvan Fournier's been logging heavy tick since Orlando sent Tobias Harris packing, and could see his usage rate skyrocket if Victor Oladipo is held out against Golden State. His matchup isn't perfect, but he should still provide adequate value.
SG - O.J. Mayo - Milwaukee Bucks - $3,900
Getty ImagesO.J. Mayo continues to start at point guard for the Milwaukee Bucks, and will benefit from the absence of Jerryd Bayless this evening. For his near minimum price, Mayo is impossible to ignore.
SF - Jae Crowder - Boston Celtics - $6,200
Getty ImagesJae Crowder dropped a career-high 27 points all over Minnesota on Monday, and could easily do something similar against Milwaukee's 25th-ranked wing defense. Expect to get your money's worth from Crowder in a favorable matchup.
SF - Giannis Antetokounmpo - Milwaukee Bucks - $8,100
Getty ImagesGiannis Antetokounmpo logged a triple-double consisting of 27 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists against the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday. He finished with nearly 70 fantasy points. Expect him to keep the momentum going against Boston.
PF - Aaron Gordon - Orlando Magic - $6,200
Getty ImagesAaron Gordon's worth his price almost every night. His matchup with Draymond Green isn't ideal, but he's proven to be able to rebound with the league's best, and doesn't need to score a ton to hit value.
PF - Jared Sullinger - Boston Celtics - $6,100
Getty ImagesJared Sullinger can be a maddening option as his tick is typically all over the place. But with Kelly Olynyk out, he should see right around 25 minutes this evening. Sullinger should make mincemeat of Milwaukee's feeble frontcourt.
C - Dwight Howard - Houston Rockets - $8,000
Getty ImagesRight before the All-Star break, Dwight Howard torched the Portland Trail Blazers for 28 points and 13 rebounds. At home in an important game between two teams battling for the last spots in the Western Conference playoffs, expect a solid showing.
