Tuesday night in the Association features a small four-game slate of action with limited high-priced studs to choose from. This has me looking at a more balanced approach to lineup construction when building out my DraftKings lineups.

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.

One Stud

Damian Lillard (PG – POR): $9,300 vs PHO
As I mentioned in the intro there are not many high-priced studs to consider on Tuesday’s slate with the Pelicans’ Twin Towers (DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis) as the only players over $10,000 but I’m not excited about their matchup in Boston. The other options include the dynamic duo in Minnesota (Jimmy Butler and Karl-Anthony Towns), who I do like a lot but prefer when they are at home. So that leaves me with Damian Lillard who is at home in a juicy matchup with the Suns who have allowed the fourth most DraftKings points to opposing PGs this season. Meanwhile, Lillard has averaged 50.3 DK points in two previous meetings with the Suns. Look for Lillard to shine brighter than the Sun(s) on Tuesday.
