Monday night in the Association features a big 11-game slate of action. My typical lineup construction involves fitting in at least one high-priced stud option and while there are plenty to choose from on the slate there doesn’t seem to be enough value options, at least at this point of the day, to fit in a high-priced stud. So, I’m going with a more balanced lineup approach to the big Monday slate.

Note that some of the stats referenced in this article are my custom DvP calculations that combine both season and last five games data along with blending similar positions production allowed together.

Point Guard

Reggie Jackson (DET): $6,200 vs CLE
The Cavaliers’ continue to struggle on the defensive end allowing the third most points per game this season. Stopping opposing PGs have been a big part of the problem as they have allowed the ninth most FanDuel points to the position this season. Jackson has had a solid and consistent season averaging 28.7 FanDuel points per game. He should be able to top his season average with a pace up game for the Pistons in a favorable matchup.

Darren Collison (IND): $5,700 @ ORL
Collison has topped 31 minutes in each of his last three games and has produced to exceed five times his salary in each game despite playing tough defensive opponents in the Heat, Pistons and Grizzlies. He gets an easier matchup on Monday against a Magic defense that has allowed the fourth most FanDuel points to opposing PGs this season.
