Yesterday's Perfect NBA DFS Lineups: Monday 1/5/15

Damian Lillard destroyed the defensively-challenged Lakers last night. Who else made it into yesterday's perfect lineups?

Last night was one of the weirdest daily fantasy hoops nights of the young season. Dion Waiters and J.R. Smith -- who were expected to get a bump in value due to injuries to players ahead of them on the depth chart -- were late scratches as they were involved in a three-team trade that sent Smith to Cleveland and Waiters to Oklahoma City. Both of those guys were popular plays, which meant scores were relatively low across the board yesterday. With that said, if you were smart enough to play some or all of the players listed below, there is a solid chance you cashed.

I wrote about Damian Lillard's potential for a huge game in yesterday's NBA daily fantasy helper article, and he sure did not disappoint. Lillard torched the Lakers and their league-worst defense for 39 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and a block while earning the most fantasy points of any player on the slate.

Kevin Love was not too far behind Lillard as he was forced to take on a larger role for the Cavaliers with both Kyrie Irving and LeBron James sidelined, and Pau Gasol stayed hot despite a tough matchup with the Rockets.

While this is not the first time Lillard, Love and Gasol have been mentioned in this column, there were a few surprise entrants who made it onto today's list. Quincy Acy took advantage of his boost in playing time with all of the Knicks' injures by posting an impressive 19-point, 14-rebound performance. Joe Ingles also makes his first appearance in the perfect lineups with his full line of 8 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals.
