FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/9/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

It's a small slate as usual this Tuesday, but that doesn't mean there isn't plenty to discuss. Based on early injury news, Shabazz Napier is an easy option to lock in at point guard. From there, a decision has to be made on Russell Westbrook. I lean away from playing him based on his price, […]
