Scott Z .highlights the top NBA DFS lineup picks for 2/11/16, as well as a couple of sleepers to keep in mind while building your roster on FanDuel.

With only two games tonight we'll keep it short and simple. Two Guards, two forwards,and one center. I'll throw out a couple other names in the write ups, but if I recommended an entire roster I'd pretty much be writing up every serviceable player tonight.

In this article, I will be providing you with daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for FanDuel for 2/11/16. The DFS picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays.

Good luck and feel free to hit me up on twitter @udontknowziplow with any NBA DFS questions.

FanDuel DFS Guards

Norris Cole (vs NOP, $5,100)

With Tyreke Evens out until the all star break, and Jrue Holiday on a 25ish minutes restriction, Norris Cole will be the biggest DFS beneficiary of the next few games.  Cole has shown that he can produce serious fantasy numbers when given starters minutes. He has scored over 30 FD points in three of his last four games where he played at least 30 minutes. That's 6x value at his current price, which is just too hard to pass up on a short slate like tonight. Don't over think this, and use the extra money to make sure you can roster Russell Westbrook with your other PG slot.

Khris Middleton (vs WAS, $7,300)

So normally I would do just about everything possible to avoid rostering players from this game tonight, but on a two game slate that's impossible. Although the spread looks to be around 210 points, both of these teams are really hard to predict on a night to night basis with the exception of John Wall. However, if there is one thing that's consistent, it's Washington's lack of defense at the shooting guard spot. On the season they rank 20th in the NBA, and in the last three weeks they rank 26th.  Khris Middleton is a safe bet to begin with, and looks to have a much higher ceiling tonight. Shooting guard is super thin on FD tonight, so even if he has an average night, his ownership levels should be high enough where you can still make big money.

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Ryan Anderson (at OKC, $5,900)

With Tyreke Evans out, someone has to score for New Orleans other than Anthony Davis, and that man is Ryan Anderson. I'm a little worried about Durant guarding him for stretches of games where OKC goes small, but hopefully they won't need too, as this should be an absolute blow out. And that's pretty much what I'm hoping for, as the Pelicans legitimately do not have enough healthy bodies to rest Ryan Anderson even if it gets out of hand early. He'll still be jacking up threes well into the 4th quarter, when he'll  be hopefully guarded by guys like Mitch McGary and Kyle Singler. I think he's a steal at this price even if it's close, but a healthy dose of garbage time minutes could make Anderson one of the best plays of the night.

Jared Dudley (at MIL, $4,600)

Ok so hear me out. I know his DFS numbers are generally underwhelming, but Jared Dudley has been pretty consistently hitting 4x value, and has the revenge game factor tonight. What's the revenge game factor you ask? Players always play better against their former teams. Now I don't have any numbers to back that up, but you're just gonna have to trust me.  Whether its familiarity with personnel and scheme, or just some extra motivation, I fully expect Dudley to reach and exceed 5x value tonight, or about 25 FD points. Now that may not seem like great upside, but on a two game slate, with very limited options at the PF position, Dudley provides a very safe low end play that allows you to fit an extra star (*Kevin Durant) into your lineup.

FanDuel DFS Centers

Marcin Gortat (at MIL, $6,900)

Had to end with the Polish Hammer. Although I think he's a great play tonight, I expect Marcin Gortat's ownership level to be through the roof. Although I'm sure there will be a chunk of DFS'ers risking it with Enes Kanter or Steven Adams tonight, I just don't see the upside, and I think there are way better value plays out there. So back to Marcin. He gets consistent minutes, consistent touches, and is really the only serviceable rim protector Washington has- O and the bucks rank 21st against centers this season in DFS. With minutes and touches usually comes fantasy production, so unless you want to roll the dice on one of the aforementioned thunder bigs, play it safe and roster one of two centers available tonight that have a real shot at over 30 FD points (Greg Monroe being the other, but he's $1,300 more)
