There are four games on the docket for Tuesday's slate, headlined by an impressive TNT double-header featuring the Nets/Knicks and the Suns/Warriors after. The PHX/GSW matchup features teams donning the best records in the NBA, so we're certainly in for a treat. With all of the hoops' excitement, we have yet another opportunity to win some cash in DFS. As always, we'll break down my favorite FanDuel plays for Tuesday's slate. First, let's take a look at the five games.
- MEM @ TOR O/U - 216.5
- NYK @ BKN O/U - 216.5
- LAL @ SAC O/U - 226
- DET @ POR O/U - 216
- GSW @ PHX O/U - 222
The first game that sticks out to me here is the LAL/SAC. Both teams rank top-five in PACE this season and just combined for a whopping 278 total points in an overtime game on Friday. Anthony Davis has averaged just under 55 FD points over his last four games and looks to be in a prime position for a monster night. Continue reading for more on why I'm comfortable making The Brow the centerpiece of my lineup on Tuesday. After that comes the highly anticipated GSW/PHX matchup. This may be the best game of the regular season thus far as both squads have the best records in the league. I'm expecting fireworks in a pace-up game for both teams. You know what that means for Stephen Curry, right? Outside of those two games, the MEM/TOR matchup should produce some value, especially with Ja Morant and Khem Birch out of their respective lineups. With that said, let's dive into my favorite FanDuel plays for Tuesday's slate.

FanDuel Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Stephen Curry, PG - @ PHX ($10,800)
I mean, let's be real. This matchup is arguably the game of the year so far as both teams don the best records in the NBA. This should be a fast-paced, competitive game with plenty of points. Name a player better suited for this kind of atmosphere better than Chef Curry. He's fresh off of a 63 FD point night in Sunday's win and primed for a big game Tuesday. He's a no-brainer play for me against the Suns.
Fred VanVleet, PG/SG - vs. MEM ($8,400)
FVV has been cookin' over the last few games and is blessed with another good matchup against the Ja Morant-less Grizzlies. As a matter of fact, VanVleet posted his third-most FD points of the season just a few short days ago against this same squad. He's scored at least 40 FD points in each of his last three games and will look to extend that streak to four on Tuesday.
Tyus Jones, PG - @ TOR ($4,600)
Speaking of Ja Morant and the Grizzlies, Jones is slated to garner another start with the former out of the lineup with a knee injury and I like him as a nice value play here. He's averaged just under 1.0 FD points per minute in 261 total minutes without Morant on the floor and is poised for similar production on Tuesday. The Raptors have been middle of the pack defending guards this season, but Jones should be a lock for at least 5X value. Sign me up!
Immanuel Quickley, PG - @ BKN ($4,100)
Much like the aforementioned Tyus Jones, Quickley is a bit of a value play for me on Tuesday. He's scored at least 20 FD points in each of his last three games and is coming off a 30-minute outing in Saturday's win over the Hawks. Of course, this call is directly tied to the status of Derrick Rose, who is questionable after missing the last three games with an ankle injury. Regardless, we should expect to see Quickley see an increased role once again with news of Kemba Walker out of the rotation.
Also consider: Dillon Brooks ($5,800), Desmond Bane ($5,400), Patty Mills ($4,900), Devin Booker ($7,900)

FanDuel Forwards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Anthony Davis, PF/C - @ SAC ($10,300)
While #NBATwitter was busy clowning Davis for his early-season shooting woes, The Brow was busy putting up FD numbers! He's averaged just under 55 FD points in his last four games and gets a Kings' who will likely be missing Richaun Holmes down low due to a continued eye issue. Everyone can say what they want about Davis and his 'inefficient jump shooting' this year, but fortunately, FD scoring doesn't take that into consideration. We could be looking at another monster DFS night from Davis.
Alec Burks, SF - @ BKN ($6,200)
While Immanuel Quickley certainly gets a boost with Kemba Walker heading to the bench and Derrick Rose nursing an ankle injury, it's Burks who may secretly see the biggest increase in value. It was announced today that Burks will continue to start for the Knicks and you know what that means while playing under head coach Tom Thibodeau? A lion's share of playing time. Burks saw 39 minutes in Saturday's win over the Hawks and should come close to that again on Tuesday. He may have chalky ownership but he's certainly a safe play against the Nets.
Scottie Barnes, SF/PF - vs. MEM ($6,700)
Barnes should continue playing a big role for the Raptors, as he's seen 30 or more minutes 15 times in his last 16 games. He dropped 17 points and nine rebounds on the Grizzlies a couple of days ago and has scored 39 FD points in back-to-back games. If you're feeling really frisky, stacking him with Fred VanVleet just feels right.
Also consider: Larry Nance Jr. ($5,100), Jerami Grant ($8,100), Buddy Hield ($5,800)
FanDuel Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Tristan Thompson, C - vs. LAL ($4,200)
If Richaun Holmes does indeed miss another game Tuesday, then Thompson may be my favorite play on this slate. While the masses will likely pivot to Marvin Bagley, Thompson should be left with minimal ownership. Believe it or not, Thompson has been the better fantasy option over the last week, posting 26 FD points in back-to-back games and seeing at least 20 minutes in both games.
LaMarcus Aldridge, C - vs. NYK ($6,100)
Aldridge has been a nice addition for the Nets this season and it's transferred over to fantasy. He's seen no less than 24 FD points in five straight games and the Knicks have surrendered the second-most FD points to opposing centers this season. LMA should serve as a safe option to plug into lineups on Tuesday.
Also consider: Steven Adams ($5,500), JaVale McGee ($5,400)
