Only four games on the schedule tonight, and the matchups are brutal compared to all of the action we had last night. We should have one huge blowout, a couple of defensive slug fests, and a revenge game for a big time player. As if that wasn't enough, injury concerns are scattered throughout the slate. Let's see if we can sort this out.

In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for FanDuel for 1/5/16. The picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays.

Without wasting anymore time, let's get down to it!

FanDuel DFS Point Guards

Rajon Rondo (at DAL) - $7,800

I don't love Stephen Curry tonight. Fresh off an injury, the first thing the Warriors will do if they get a sizable lead is bench their star. So, Rondo becomes the premier point guard of the night. Aside from the nice tear that he's on lately, he gets to go back to Dallas and play in a revenge game against his former team. Look for Rondo to light it up on Tuesday, and use him as a staple for your lineup.

J.J. Barea (vs. SAC) - $4,600

Deron Williams' reoccurring hamstring injury doesn't bode well for his status in Tuesday's game. If he plays, point guard is a mess. However, if he sits, I like Barea to have another strong outing. The Kings will push the pace, giving Barea plenty of chances to reach a double-double with assists and points. He's done exceptionally well with the role thus far, and his price is still way to reasonable to pass up.

 

FanDuel DFS Shooting Guards

Jimmy Butler (vs. MIL) - $8,300

It's always tough for me to pay up for Butler, and I'm not sure why. His recent games have left me regretful. Milwaukee is no slouch on defense, but Butler has been on a different planet recently, reaching 40 FDP in four out of the last six contests. Especially if Rose is forced to sit again, the Bulls' shooter is a good play on a short slate.

Louis Williams (vs. GS) - $5,700

Williams isn't always the safest play, but it seems like he's starting to get in a rhythm again recently. His minutes have been in the mid-30s, and he's getting more shots as of late. The Lakers should be trailing for most if not all of this game. That should provide Williams with the green light to shoot whenever he finds some space. The price is right here.

 

FanDuel DFS Small Forwards

Chandler Parsons (vs. SAC) - $5,100

Parsons' recent duds have kept his price down and hopefully will do the same to his ownership. The Kings struggle to cover shooters, so 35 minutes in this contests should propel Parsons into potentially 6x value. Hopefully the wing man can get it going on Tuesday.

Nikola Mirotic (vs. MIL) - $4,700

Here's one of the most inconsistent players in DFS. He's been getting minutes lately, and as long as he keeps shooting he should be able to hit value tonight. Don't be surprised by a dud of a game though. Steer clear in cash games.

 

FanDuel DFS Power Forwards

Draymond Green (at LAL) - $9,700

I'm not sure there's a price that I wouldn't pay for this guy right now. I would say I'm worried about the blowout and all that, but he's getting triple doubles in three quarters. With or without Curry. Are you kidding me? It would be wise to play Green at least until his price hits five digits.

Larry Nance Jr. (vs. GS) - $4,300

Nance is getting good run recently, and he's making the best of it. He should continue to see good minutes in a fast-paced contest Tuesday, so he's the perfect money saver on this slate.

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

DeMarcus Cousins (at DAL) - $9,700

If you're a fan of getting three triple doubles in one lineup, this slate might be for you. Rondo, Green, and Cousins all have the ability to do it. Cousins had a monster game last night, and Dallas is fairly kind to big men (not that it matters to Boogie). A stars and scrubs lineup is the only way to go on Tuesday.
