Tom Bellucco highlights the top NBA DFS lineup picks for 1/26/16, as well as a couple of sleepers to keep in mind while building your roster on FanDuel.

An eight-game Tuesday! Buckle up, because this should be fun. Just lock Boogie into your lineups now, and then let's focus on who else you can fit in.

In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for FanDuel for 1/19/16. The picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays.

FanDuel DFS Point Guards

Elfrid Payton (at MIL) - $6,300

It was great news to see Payton play big minutes in the return of Victor Oladipo last game. The Bucks will push the pace, and the Magic should be able to match it with the likes of Payton, Oladipo, and Aaron Gordon. At a fairly deflated price, Payton makes for a nice buy low play on Tuesday.

Archie Goodwin (at PHI) - $4,100

With Brandon Knight out for at least another week, Archie Goodwin will presumably continue to see upwards of 40 minutes for the Suns. The Sixers are a nice matchup to target, and anyone getting over 30 minutes at this price is a solid play. Fire up Goodwin.

 

FanDuel DFS Shooting Guards

DeMar DeRozan (vs. WAS) - $8,400

DeRozan has been crushing value lately, hitting 40 FDP with ease. The Wizards push the pace, which led to 49 FDP for DeRozan against this same team a few games back. Look for the shooting guard to dominate shots again on Tuesday, and don't be surprised if he is successful in doing so.

Terrence Ross (vs. WAS) - $4,100

It's not often that you'll play two players from the same team at one position. However, it makes perfect sense here. Ross has been sneaking upwards in minutes totals with DeMare Carrol sidelined, and he'll also benefit from the pace of this game. This price is too low for his upside.

 

FanDuel DFS Small Forwards

Kevin Durant (at NY) - $10,200

It's always tough choosing between Durant and Russell Westbrook night in and night out. Surprisingly, the Knicks have been relatively solid against opposing point guards. That usually doesn't stop Westbrook from dominating games, but it's enough for me to go with Durant in this spot. There's enough value on Tuesday to use Durant along with the stud we'll touch on later.

Chandler Parsons (at LAL) - $6,400

Don't look now, but Parsons is becoming relevant again. He's trending upwards in field goal attempts in recent games, and the Lakers have been dominated by wing players this season. Parsons is in a great spot to crush value on Tuesday.

 

FanDuel DFS Power Forwards

Derrick Williams (vs. OKC) - $4,500

With very little to work with at the power forward position on Tuesday, it makes sense to go with cheaper options here. The Knicks have really started using Williams as a sixth man of late, and he's running with the opportunity. The pace of this game should be up, and regardless of whether the game stays close or not, Williams should get enough minutes to hit value with ease.

Nene Hilario (at TOR) - $4,400

With his starting position reclaimed and his minutes restriction slowly being lifted, Hilario is beginning to show the upside that we all saw last season. He can score in buckets, and the Wizards like to run through him in the post. Jump on board before Nene's price settles back in the $6,000 range.

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

DeMarcus Cousins (at POR) - $11,200

Can anyone stop Boogie right now? Well, I'm not sure. But it surely won't be the Trail Blazers. Portland has struggled against big men all year, and Cousins is playing like he's from another planet. The pace will be up with two teams who like to push the ball, so if there was ever a time to guarantee a triple double, this might be it.
