Yesterday's Perfect NBA DFS Lineups: Thursday 2/26/15
With only two games on last night's slate, there weren't many viable plays at each position. That said, several superstars put on an absolute show last night, which made up for the lack of value on the board.
Russell Westbrook continued his torrid pace, posting his second consecutive triple-double with a ridiculous 39 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists. Westbrook has been virtually unstoppable with Kevin Durant sidelined and has essentially become a must start on a nightly basis.
The Thunder point guard wasn't the only All-Star who posted one of his best lines of the year last night. LeBron James amassed a monstrous 42-point, 11-rebound, 5-assist, 3-steal line in an impressive victory over the first place Warriors. Just like Westbrook, James is making a late push for the MVP award, and his performance against Golden State can only help his case.
As good as Westbrook and James were last night, the night truly belonged to Eric Bledsoe. The Suns guard out-dueled Westbrook, scoring 28 points with 13 boards, 9 assists and 4 blocks while shooting an insanely efficient 11 for 16 from the field. With Isaiah Thomas and Goran Dragic gone, I would not be surprised to see lines like this from Bledsoe much more frequently in the upcoming weeks.
Tonight's slate features a whopping 14 games, which means identifying the right players to insert into your lineup will not be an easy task.
