Daily Fantasy NBA Lineup Picks For FanDuel (1/27/17) - DFS Basketball Advice

By Keith Allison [CC-BY-SA-2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons

10 games make up tonight's action. An angry King looks to reestablish his reign in Ohio while a big man in Sacramento looks to continue his dominance over the rest of the league. The Beard and possibly The Brow also take the court Friday night.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 1/27/17. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on FanDuel.

FanDuel DFS Guards

Patrick Beverley - PG, @ PHI ($5,500) 

Beverley won't blow you away with his stat lines, but he has been consistently producing for daily fantasy over his last eight games. Beverley has a solid amount of upside as he has proven to explode from time to time, spreading stats in all categories. The Sixers have been one of the hottest teams throughout the month of January, but do allow the fourth most fantasy points to the one-spot.

Tim Hardaway - SG, vs WAS ($4,600) 

Hardaway was recently moved back to a bench role on Wednesday; a switch that benefited his game. Against the Chicago Bulls, off the bench, Hardaway dropped 17 points, five assists, two rebounds, and went four of six from behind the arc in 33 minutes of court time. Hardaway has been inconsistent this season, simply because his playing time has fluctuated so much, but has proven to break out when efficient from downtown. Luckily for him, the Washington Wizards currently own the eighth highest opponent three point percentage.

Also Consider: Tony Allen - SG, at POR ($4,600)

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

LeBron James - SF, vs BK ($10,800) 

The Cleveland Cavaliers have now lost three straight games, something that has not sat nicely with LeBron James. The King has posted a triple-double in two straight games, and will do all he can to avoid a fourth straight loss for the defending champions. The Brooklyn Nets, although a tough out this season, are exactly the team to break the snide against, as they have allowed the most points in the NBA (114.7 per game). Look for LeBron to flirt with a third straight triple-double.

Kevin Love - PF, vs BK ($7,900) 

Also on a mini tear amidst Cleveland's losing streak is Kevin Love. The veteran power forward has posted a double-double in three straight games, including two where he scored over 20 points. Love continues to generously spread stats for daily fantasy, and will bring his A-game against a vulnerable Brooklyn squad. Along with a leaky scoring defense, the Nets surrender the second most offensive (11.3 per game) and the second most defensive rebounds (36.5 per game) in the league. Another double-double is certainly brewing for Love.

Also Consider:  DeMarre Carroll - SF, vs MIL ($4,200)

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

Marc Gasol - C, @ POR ($8,700) 

There are not many centers hotter than Marc Gasol right now. Despite the inconsistency in rebound production, Gasol has posted scoring totals of 42, 32, 28, 28, and 24 over his last games. Gasol has also impressed from behind the arc of late and continues to be one of several centers in the league that are transforming the position. In his last contest, the big man drained five of 10 from downtown, and five of 11 combined in two prior contests. Gasol will likely be battling Mason Plumlee throughout Friday night's matchup. The Trail Blazers relinquished the fifth most points and the fifth most defensive rebounds in the league.

Also Consider: Myles Turner - C, vs SAC ($6,400)
