Yesterday's Perfect NBA DFS Lineups: Wednesday 1/28/15
Last night's 11-game slate brought us some really exciting basketball, and some very high-scoring fantasy plays. Kyrie Irving went full beast mode with LeBron James out last night in a thriller against the Blazers, scoring 55 points -- including the game winner -- with 5 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals. Much of the reason why the game was so close was because LaMarcus Aldridge posted a massive line of his own. The Blazers' star scored 38 points and grabbed 11 boards despite playing through a thumb injury.
Cleveland and Portland weren't the only teams who played a close game that featured some serious DFS value. Carmelo Anthony and Jason Smith both found their way into yesterday's perfect lineups in a hard-fought victory over the Kevin Durant-less Thunder. Anthony and Smith combined for 42 points, 21 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals in the Knicks' fourth win in their past five games.
While tonight's slate isn't nearly as large as last night's, a little extra advice never hurt anyone. With that in mind, make sure to check our optimal lineups -- which will be updated periodically throughout the day -- to see who our algorithms recommend as the best plays tonight. Also, before you finalize your lineups, take some time to read our daily fantasy NBA primer around 6:00 PM EST for a deeper dive into a few of our favorite plays on the board.
