Yesterday's Perfect NBA DFS Lineups: Tuesday 3/10/15
With a number of teams dealing with injuries to key players, last night's slate featured a ton of value and it showed in yesterday's perfect lineups. While many stars such as LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard and Derrick Favors had big games, last night truly belonged to the little guy.
Rodney Stuckey has shown us flashes of brilliance in the past, but last night was his best performance since joining the Pacers. Stuckey posted a season-high 34 points along with 7 assists, 6 rebounds, a steal, a block and just one turnover. Similarly, Norris Cole also had his best game since joining his new squad. Cole scored 16 points with 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals in his for start as a Pelican, cementing his place in yesterday's perfect lineups.
Believe it or not, the Knicks were actually in a barn-burner last night against the surging Jazz. Much of the reason why New York was able to keep the game close was the outstanding play of Alexey Shved. The newest Knicks' guard put together a monster line last night -- nearly amassing a triple-double -- dropping 21 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists in a spot start of his own. Given his impressive play and the fact that the Knicks have already been eliminated from playoff contention, it will be interesting to see how they utilize Shved moving forward and whether or not he'll make another appearance in yesterday's perfect lineups.
Tonight, we get a massive slate of games which features all kinds of value.
