Yesterday's Perfect NBA DFS Lineups: Thursday 1/1/14

Andrew Wiggins kicked off 2015 in style with a monster line last night. Who else made the perfect lineups?

Small slates are always interesting. There will always be guys who are massively owned but produce to the point where it's nearly impossible to cash if you faded them -- Pau Gasol and his nine blocks last night for example. But there will also be a few guys that fly a little bit under the radar.

Jusuf Nurkic is beginning to emerge as the center to own in Denver, and Derrick Williams put a beat down on his former team, but the one guy who was under-owned who probably shouldn't have been was Andrew Wiggins. The talented rookie took advantage of a plus-matchup and led the banged-up Timberwolves with 27 points and 9 rebounds while padding his fantasy value with 3 steals as well.

Let's not forget about the red hot Manimal, Kenneth Faried, who demolished the Bulls on the glass to the tune of 19 boards. He's been featured in this column quite a bit lately.

Here are what the perfect lineups looked like from yesterday's two game slate.
