Welcome to the Tuesday edition of FanDuel lineup advice. Tonight’s slate features six matchups that are littered with heavy hitters. There a whopping eight players available tonight that check in at $10,000 or higher salary, meaning we’ll have to be careful where we pick and choose to pay up. As of this writing, the highest expected total of the night is 232.5 when Oklahoma City plays at Atlanta. We also have to keep an eye on the Pacers as the day progresses, as they currently have three players that could profoundly impact the slate listed as questionable game-time decisions. Let’s dive into some of the best plays of the night.

Point Guard: Russell Westbrook ($12,000)
Westbrook is the most expensive player on the slate, but he should be worth the price of admission tonight. The game features the highest expected point total of the night, and with the Thunder favored by just nine points, the game should stay competitive enough for Westbrook to see his typical 35 or so minutes. The most appealing reason to play him, however, is the matchup. The Hawks give up the most FanDuel points to point guards this season at 51.84 per game. That number is even higher over the past seven, a staggering 57.44. You’ll have to spend down elsewhere, but you need to find some a way to get Westbrook locked in tonight.
