There are only six games on the FanDuel main slate tonight. FanDuel has a variety of contests from high dollar tournaments to $0.25 contests. There is a little something for everyone. Four of the six games have projected game totals of at least 226 points with the Portland-Atlanta game projecting for 234.5.

Even though it is a smaller slate, there is still a lot of star power as 12 players are priced at $9,000 or higher with nine of the players priced in the five-digit range (though three of them are listed as game-time decisions or questionable). Karl-Anthony Towns ($11,600), LeBron James ($11,300), and Russell Westbrook ($11,300) are the only players in the $11K range tonight.

There are a lot of ways to construct lineups. Stacking the games that are projected to be higher scoring is never a bad option. You can also look to take the “stars and scrubs” approach, where you essentially play higher-priced players, then find low-cost value plays, and punt plays to round out your roster. If you don’t feel good about the high-end or low-end players, then you can take the balanced approach, which minimizes your risk a little bit, but it also can limit your upside.

The roster and comments that I provide are intended to be taken as an early first look. In no way, should you blindly enter this lineup in a contest, nor plug and play these players automatically without examining all the information available to you. Remember that you roster nine players on FanDuel but only count your best eight scores as FD drops the worst scoring player from your lineup.
