Welcome to the Saturday “Lead Day” edition of FanDuel NBA lineup advice. Tonight we have a balanced seven-game slate to navigate that, as of this writing, has fewer injury questions than we’ve seen the past few nights. There are five studs with five-digit price tags to choose from, as well a few high paced, high scoring games expected games to extract value from. Let’s dive in.

Point Guard
Trae Young (ATL): $10,000 vs. POR
Young is in play whenever he’s available on a slate given his massive ceiling. Tonight he checks several other boxes you should look for when constructing a lineup. As of this writing, the expected point total of his matchup with Portland is the highest of the slate at 234.5 points. The Trail Blazers also allow the most FanDuel (FD) points to point guards on average this season. It’s a recipe for a huge night from Young.
