Welcome to the Tuesday edition of FanDuel NBA lineup advice. Tonight’s slate features eight matchups to choose from. It’s not a very top-heavy slate, with only six players checking in at salaries of $10,000 or higher. As of this writing, the highest projected game total is 229 points in the Eastern Conference showdown between the Raptors and 76ers. With the trade deadline on the horizon, it’s imperative to keep an eye on the news and buzz leading up to tipoff. With all that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the better plays for tonight.

Point Guard
Jerryd Bayless (MIN): $5,900
Even with his price creeping up to $5,900, Bayless is too much of a value to ignore. The Timberwolves have already ruled out Derrick Rose and Tyus Jones, while Jeff Teague is listed as doubtful, so Bayless will once again get all the minutes he can handle at point guard. He faces the Grizzlies tonight, a team that has given up the sixth most FD points to point guards over the last 15 games. Bayless has averaged 34.9 FanDuel (FD) points over the past six games, which makes him well worth his price tonight.
