Demetri highlights the top daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for 1/24/16. These are the top value and sleeper plays for your DraftKings NBA DFS lineups.

With the snow finally coming to a blistering halt, hopefully, no games are set to be postponed on Sunday's short slate. Four games are on the card.

Today's lineup features a handful of Rockets, one of whom is facing his former team, four big names that have been consistently productive, and a couple of low-priced sleepers to help balance your lineup to make room for the Westbrook's and Harden's.

Check out my Daily NBA Picks for DraftKings, 1/24/16.

DraftKings DFS Point Guards

Jason Terry (vs DAL, $3,200)

Terry got the starting nod Friday night against the Milwaukee Bucks, and exceeded his average fantasy points per game with six points, three steals, two assists, and a rebound. Now understandably, these are numbers that Russell Westbrook can post in about two minutes, but Terry is over $7,000 cheaper than the Energizer-Bunny point guard that plays in Oklahoma City. By no means should Terry be compared to Westbrook, but the former Sixth Man of the Year frees up plenty of cap space and will be a steal if he hits 15-20 fantasy points. The Rockets host the Dallas Mavericks where Terry played for eight seasons.

Isaiah Thomas (at PHI, $7,800)

There used to be a hesitation in picking players facing the 76ers. Not because there was any question in being able to perform against Philadelphia but if players would see the court for an extended amount of time. But now with Ish Smith heavily involved in Philadelphia's offense, providing a much needed spark resulting in two wins in three games, the Sixers have been fairly competitive; more so than they were at the beginning of the year. With all that being said, Thomas is averaging close to 4o fantasy points a night and remains a constant threat. He has scored over 20 points in eight of ten games, and over thirty three times in that span. Thomas should be considered every time he laces up.

DraftKings DFS Shooting Guards

DeMar DeRozan (vs LAC, $8,300)

DeRozan has been on fire the past three games, averaging a little over 32 points, 47.7 fantasy points, five assists, and four rebounds in that span. DeRozan is the second best option at the two-guard on Sunday, and is almost $2,000 cheaper than James Harden. With the exception of Harden's insane 80 fantasy point performance the other night, the two have performed similarly of late. Toronto faces the Los Angeles Clippers in what should be a competitive matchup between two of the hottest teams in the league.

Terrence Ross (vs LAC, $3,500)

Ross could be a nice, affordable stack with the man above him on this list and Houston's depth chart. Although Derozan's backup, Ross has still scored in double-digits in three straight games, resulting in fantasy performances of 17.75, 20.25, 17.00; all of which are solid for his low price. In that span he has seen the court for over 20 minutes in each and should repeat that in a likely fast-paced game against the Clippers.

DraftKings DFS Small Forwards

Kevin Durant (at BK, $9,500)

Durant is by far the best player at the three-spot on Sunday. He has scored 20 or more points in 30 straight games played. Yes, 30 straight. Durant is always a solid play in DFS, for all formats, and continuously spreads stats across the board. He has a great matchup against the Brooklyn Nets who relinquish 103.1 points per game. Durant's price has dropped a bit over the last ten games but that's not necessarily a bad thing for Daily Fantasy, especially for someone as near as automatic from the field as KD.

Corey Brewer (vs DAL, $3,900)

Brewer has been quietly producing over the past four games, posting 20.5, 21.5, 20.25, and 19.25 fantasy points. Brewer won't put the ball in the hoop often but has been doing plenty to become a reasonable, and smart, option, especially for tournament play. In that span of production, he also picked up nine total steals and grabbed 18 total boards. On a night with only a handful of games, Brewer is the type of guy to free up plenty of cap space in your lineup. He will also likely help pick up the slack in Houston with Howard expected to miss more time.

DraftKings DFS Power Forwards

Nerlens Noel (vs BOS, $6,400)

After leaving last week's game against the Orlando Magic with a headache and blurred vision, Noel is back on the court this weekend. Noel, like Ish Smith, has been an important part of Philadelphia's offense this season, and more importantly of late. He has posted over 30 fantasy points, including two of over 40, in five of ten games. Noel also averages over eight rebounds a game and is an affordable tournament play.

Terrence Jones (vs DAL, $5,200)

Jones has made the most of Dwight Howard's injury, and with the big man set to miss three to four more days of action, Jones is a solid fantasy play at power forward. With Howard out of the lineup Friday night against the Milwaukee Bucks, Jones scored 14 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and tallied four blocks in 32 minutes; resulting in a 33.0 fantasy point performance. Jones is the third Rocket on this list. With the exception of Harden, Houston has divvied up scoring responsibility and production in the wake of Howard's short term injury.

DraftKings DFS Centers

DeAndre Jordan (at TOR, $7,200)

Jordan's price continues to surprisingly plummet, but that just makes him an even more appealing pick at center. Jordan has posted a double-double in ten of his last 11 games and has grabbed double-digit rebounds in 21 of 23. He's the top choice on Sunday at his position. Jordan has also been shooting really well and selectively, recently hitting seven of seven shots from the field against the New York Knicks on Friday, and over 80% against the Houston Rockets last week.
