Only five games on the slate for Tuesday night, so most of the top-tier options are going to be heavily owned. James Harden and Pau Gasol are the top two players because of their high floor and incredibly high ceiling. DeMarcus Cousins seems very disgruntled and hasn’t reached value in his last three games. Therefore, I’m going to stay away from the Kings, except for Ramon Sessions, who is a quality value play now that he is starting with Darren Collison out.

The point guard position is led by Ty Lawson, who should blow up for a big game vs the Lakers. Jordan Clarkson continues to play a lot of minutes for the Lakers, which has led to some big fantasy performances from him. The shooting guard position is led by James Harden as he has destroyed the Suns this season. Jimmy Butler is a good play as well, but he’s expensive on Aces and Fanduel. The small forward position is easy to figure out as Gerald Henderson and Trevor Ariza are the top two options at the position on Fanduel. Henderson has really stepped up his game recently and he’ll be in most of my lineups. 

The power forward position is Pau Gasol’s again as the Kings have no one that can guard him. Ed Davis is a good option with Jordan Hill out. Worried that Zach Randolph and Greg Monroe do not reach value with their high price tags. Really like Al Jefferson at center because the Pistons are a lackluster defensive squad and Big Al is going to get plenty of shots. Expect about 23 points and 10 rebounds from Al Jefferson. A lot of people are going to be high on Jusuf Nurkic after his 42 fantasy point performance on Monday. He is a great play again tonight, just realize it is not a sneaky play.
