Yesterday's Perfect NBA DFS Lineups: Monday 2/2/15
While the majority of the sports world was focussed on the Super Bowl, the NBA put together an exciting eight-game slate last night to remind us that us sports fans still have plenty to watch now that football season is over. Anthony Davis led the Pelicans to a surprise upset over the Hawks with a 29-point, 13-rebound performance in his first game back from injury and DeAndre Jordan dominated the glass against the Nets with a 22-point, 20-rebound outing.
As well as those guys played last night, Russell Westbrook was in a class of his own last night. The Thunder star took advantage of Kevin Durant's absence and posted an outrageous 25-point, 14-assist, 11-rebound triple-double while adding 4 steals and a blocked shot. Westbrook really dominated the game from start to finish and was yesterday's highest fantasy scorer by a wide margin.
Tonight, we have a relatively small five-game slate to work with. There is definitely some value to be had, so 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.
