Yesterday's Perfect NBA DFS Lineups: Tuesday 2/3/15
On a night where there was really only one close game, we see a lot of the usual suspects in last night's perfect lineups. DeMarcus Cousins continues to be matchup proof, dropping 26 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks and 3 steals on the Warriors despite a blowout loss, while Michael Carter-Williams filled up the stat sheet as well, scoring 15 points with 12 assists, 8 rebounds, 2 steals and block in a rare win for the 76ers.
The one close game we did see last night provided us with some serious fantasy value as well. Gordon Hayward put together a huge 27-point, 5-rebound and 5-assist line in a razor close loss to Nicolas Batum and the Blazers. The Blazers' versatile forward posted a very Batum-like line, scoring 10 points with 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks and a steal en route to a hard fought victory.
While these guys all played extremely well yesterday, the player who was most impressive yesterday was D.J. Augustin. The Pistons guard has been nothing short of spectacular since becoming Detroit's starting point guard after Brandon Jennings was lost for the year with an achilles injury, and tonight was a perfect example. Augustin dominated the Heat, getting the rim at will setting up scoring opportunities for both himself and his teammates. He finished with 25 points, 13 assists, 4 boards and a steal without turning the ball over once. If he continues to play like this, he should be a must start pretty much every night.
Tonight, we get the pleasure of sifting through a huge slate and trying to pinpoint the value. Whether you are participating in one of the major industry tournaments, or just playing a few small cash games, 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.
