Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the NBA FanDuel lineup article. After being spoiled with a huge slate last Tuesday night, we’re back to a small, three game slate tonight. With that being said, all three games currently have a projected game total over 200 in Vegas so there is still some potential for an interesting slate. Let’s go ahead and take a look at my lineup for tonight’s slate.
Point Guard
Kyrie Irving (BOS): $8,500 at BKN
Irving suffered a fractured facial bone in the first minute of action on Friday night against the Hornets. Irving sat out Sunday’s night game against the Raptors, but he is expected to wear a protective mask for the next two weeks and will return to the starting lineup tonight against the Nets. The matchup with the Nets is a juicy one considering the Celtics currently have the second-highest projected team total on the slate and the Nets have allowed the fourth-most FanDuel points to opposing point guards this season.
Kyle Lowry (TOR): $7,700 at HOU
The game with the highest project total on the board tonight is the one between the Raptors and the Rockets, with the Rockets only favored by a few points. We will want to have a ton of exposure to this game on this small slate and one of the pieces I like from the Raptors is Lowry since the Rockets have struggled with defending opposing point guards this season.
